regards to a proposed dunk ye rd.
During ir,r, piddles' tine as pity tanager I was running my parts
y?erd pn 1'ranklin Wit. in Clearwater. The yb rd was hard to keep clean owi:t?g:;
to the fact that we tore our cars down there v;ithout a fence. ??
It caused so much disagreement hir, itid?le agreed to let me '-?'`'
have the property that I am now on Ord whi ch i purhhased later.
If I wou ld move eat here with my ybrd. He also agreed that
the City would cwt allow anather yard in the city. Some years later oompetition
was so bad in Clearwater, I was farted to buy the old Greenwood r,uto parts to get
this type of business out of Clearwater. I have ? ust sold that prop arty on the
strength oP moving to my new location on ?rospeat and Laura st. This location
does not seem to be out of line.
The appe?rence isn't above a greet many places in Cliarsvater. •
I an sure th4t if I had a good iron fence we could keep it looking as well as
a house and far above some in that lxslity. Before the war we could run our
business out here because we had such a volume of pai•ts.the people knew it and
would come for them. ";hen the Govt, needed such a volume of iron for the war

The i�llrnving �,�.s a letter fram n�r, s. F, Tucker in
re�ards to a pr�posed junk y�rd.
During Mr, niddles' tiele as �ity 1'aana�er T was runn3n� my parts
gard pn rranitlin �t.in Clearwater. The ysr3 was herd to kee� cl,esn owi�ng:;
to the fact that tive t�re our cars down there with�ut e fence.
It caused so m4ch da.sagreemen� Dir, i3id31e a�reed �o let me
hav� the pr�perty th�t I�m now an ��i v,hi ch i purbhased later.
If' I w�uld move out here vuth my ysrd. He �lso s�reed thet
the �ity �vould not allow bn�ther yard in the city. Some ye�rs later c�uipetitio;Y
ws.� s� bad in �le�rwater, I�;as fnrceci to buy the old Greernvood �,uto �arts �o get
this typ e�f businsss out of Cleattiveter. i have j ust sold that prooerty �n tho
strength af m�ving t� my new locati�n on lr�spect and Leura st. �'his l�ceti�n
does not seem to ba out �f line,
The appe�rance isn't ab�ve a great many places in Cl�arwater.
I 2m sure th�:;t if T had a good ixon fence we could keep it l�oking as well as
a house and far ab�ve snme in that lxality. BeSare the war we equld run our
business �ut he r e because w e had su ch a valume of p�z• ts , the people kne�v it a nd
wauld cone for them. .'7hen the G�vt. needed such s v�i.�r�e �i iron Y�r the war
they alm�st forced us t� se�l tw� thi sds of a�ir :n�terial f�r �.uhk. I can truth-
fully say that I aian�t lase �ne cent,undss.�iv-e th�usand dollars �n that deal.
In fact �ve are ab�at br�ke End vrill be f�rced outt o� business if �ae arn't
a]1�wed to move t.� ir2here we can gat near the public. I wonder where th e Wer
eff�rt w�uld be, had the u�rts .:nd junk dealers f�ught them insteed �f delivsr-
ing th� ga�fls, v�hiclz �ee did. They needed help then and I need he�p nora, ivly plan
now i s to m�va th e p�z ts I heve to �rosaect snd Lau�a behind a fenced lot . In the �..
future �ve •�ai11 dissemble �ui: cars elsetvhere and m�v� t1� parts likewise, Health
snd help farce ma ta have my business at l�ame, the reas�n my presBnt yardes lo��s
so bad, I have handled 70� oP the aut� b�dies �nd ienclers of Clearwater, Also
we maintained tc;e �?ty Dump hare f�r same time,. The dump was all over the l�cality
whe�. 14r. �iddle let me use �his pr�perty.
I mi�ht sdd we delivered fr�,;. yard ts� the Smzlters for war
purp�ses in excess of thrae hundred t�ns ai metsl.
