Mr. James Stewart, City Manager
City of Clearwater,
Clearwater, FJorida
Dear Mr. Stewart:
In connection with the lease of' the building now owned by the City of Clearwater
and known as Veterans Hall~ please be advised that Clearwater Chapter No. 11 DAV
wishes to renew its lease ~or a period of two or more years.
It would be greatly..appreciated by our Chapter if the City Conuniss1on could see f'i t
to delete that portion of said lease that states the Chapter shall maintain the
outside o~ the building. We cannot a~ford to do this as we do not have the
monies required for the same. The building is badly in need o~ paint at the present
time and since we are trying to get the State Convention of the DAV ~or Clearwater
in 1962 it would be greatly appreciated if it could be painted in the near future. Thanks.
Cordially yours...
/s/ Edward H. Tietjen, Commander
Clearwater Chapter No. 11 D A V
1478 Fa~rrnont Street
Clearwater, Fla.

In connection with, the lease of the building now owned by the City o�' Clearwater

It would be greatly appreciated by aur Chaptez if the City Commission could see fit
to delete �hat portion of said lease �hat states the Chapter shall maintain tlze
outside of the building, We cannot afford i;o do this as we do not have the
monies rsquired for the same. The building is badly in need oi paint at the present
time and since we are trying to get the Sta�e Conuention of �he DAV for Clearwatz�
in 1g62 �t tvould be greatly appreciated i£ it cauld be painted in the near future. Thanks.
Cordially yours,
