He said the City plans eventually to establish a ski run area on the north side of the Causeway away from the regular boat channels.

Poland who wishes to apply for a liquor license, Class 20 (A) (3) for a location on the corner of Saturn Avenue and Drew Street. For the license to be issued, Chapter 15 of the City Code would have to be amended to establish a zone for such a license on Drew Street at the location in question. I have determined that it is not within 2500 feet of an established school or church, as prohibited by that Chapter, and believe that it would be in order for the Commissioners . to establish this zone if they see fit. I would appreciate your placing the matter on the agenda at the next meeting o~ the City Commissioners for a Hearing, and notifying me or the time when it is set.

Be it resolved that we of the Skycrest Baptist Church e~press our opposition to any amendment or change in our present city code so as to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages in any form at the intersection of Saturn and Drew Street, or any other location in our community. 2. Be it resolved that we express our ~irrn conviction that the sale of alcoholic beverage in any form is a serious threat to the spiritual, moral, and physical lives of every menmer of our community~ whether they indulge in these beverages or not. 3. We furthermore resolve that we will use every legal recourse availabilie to protect our community from further invasion of the alcoholic beverage industry. Respectfully, /s! Carl W. Houston llicycrest Baptist Church Sept. 7, 1958 PETITION I anl opposed to amending our city code to allow sale of beer and wine at intercession o~ Saturn and Drew St., Clearwater, Fla. Signed by 199 persons A RESOLUTION FROM MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE SKYCREST METHODIST CHURCH We the undersigned believe that to amend the city code and allow the sale of beer and wine at the intersection of Saturn and Dre\~ Street would create a traffic hazard. The National Safety Council has just released the fOllowing figure. Over fi~ty percent of all fatal accidents are caused by drinking. To allow the sale of beer and wine on Drew Street is to endanger the lives of our children at Skycrest grade school and also the congregations o~ our churches. Therefore we oppose the amending of this city code. Signed by l46 persons September 8, 1958 Honorable Mayor Lewis Homer and the City Commissioners, City of Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: As you know, the 4-time World Champion Clearwater Bombers are scheduled to leave Clearwater Thursday night, September 11th, to defend their World Title in Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 13th through 18th. The expenses involved in transporting twenty men by air, their hotel rooms and board, etc. will entail appro~mately fort~-five hundred dollars ($4,500.00). In order for the boys to malce this trip as outlined, we still need fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500.00) . In view of the Clearwater Bombers accomplishments - which are too many to mention here - and the national publicity they have given to both the City of Clearwater and the State of Florida, I would like to ask you gentlemen to take this matter under consideration today. Trusting you will all join with me in even more continued successes, \'iT/w Very truly yours, /s/ \oJm.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING September 8, 1958 September 5, 1958 Honorable Mayor and Commissioners of the City of Clearwater, Clearwater, Florida Gentlemen: We seek your permission to engage Wakeling & Levison, architects, to prepare the plans for the Memorial Civic Center in accordance with the sketches approved by you. The funds are in an escrow account in the City National Baru{ and they could temporarily be used for this purpose. The architects were paid four hundred and fifty dollars for the prelimdnary sketches. By agreement this amount would be applied toward their total ~ee which would approximate six per cent of the cost of construction. In the securing of contributions, we assured contributors that if for any reason the Memorial Civic Center was not constructed, their contributions would be returned in full. We would, therefore, require a letter from the City stating that the City would refund to us the architects' fee for these plans if the building o~ the Center failed to materialize. May I take this opportunity of expressing to you our sincere appreciation for the consideration you have given this project. Very truly yours, Is/ H. W. Shepard, president Is/ Alfred B. Darling, Secretary Memorial Civic Center Association September 5, 1958 Mr. Thomas Strang P. O. Box 777 Clearwater, Florida Dear Tommy: Following our conversation during my recent visit to Clearwater, it is our intention to use the new field a lot more next year for practice purposes more so than in the past. Therefore, we would deeply appreciate the Council's serious consideration of enlarging the first base clubhouse which, we understand, can be done at a nominal expense by knocldng out one of the i'lalls so that additional lockers may be installed. \ve \'lill need as many additional locl<ers as the place will hold. We are not interested in any enlargenlent of the third base dressing room. If this improvement can be made, it would be a considerable time saver for us as the players would not be going back and forth to the old field. However, I wish to point out at this time that we still lull have enough players present in Clearwater so that we will also wish to use the old field at the same time. If you will be kind enough to present this matter to the Board, I sincerely hope that they will give it very serious consideration to make the improvement for us so that it will be available for use by February 1, 1959. Bob Carpenter joins me in sending ILis best wishes to you and everyone.
