The idea of Mr. Johnson that each Commdssioner should express himsel~ on the question
ot Municipal ownership of the eleotric system, the other Commissioners agreed and set
out their views as ~ollows:
.
Commissione,s Seavy, Smith and Wells stated that they were in favor
of the City owning the electric distribution system and that the power
be purchased from the Florida Power Company.
Mr. Grioe and Mr. Johnson stated that in their opinions that it was
not for the best interest of the City to enter into the Power business
at this time but that the City should negotiate a suitable franchise
with the Florida Power Corporation.
It was moved by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Brown and unan~ously oarried that the
following form ot ballot be used at election being held April 9th.
~I favor granting a new electrio franchise to Florida Power Corporation~
"I favor ownership by the Oity of the electrio distribution system."
To an inquiry trom the floor Mayor Seavy stated that he felt sure the City Commissioners
would not be interested in the sale of electrioal a~pliances in the event of the aoq-
uisition of the eleotrioal system.

Re: Suggested ohanging of nmneB of stre~~~ to
numbers.
CITY MANAGER,
Clearwater, Florida.
Dear Mr. Hendrix:-
If this does not belong in your department will you kindly
send it to the proper destination, whioh I trust ~s not the Official Waste
Basket.
\
I .
r .,
I want to register my disapproval of the Changing of the names of th.e
streets in our City to numbers as set forth in the Clearwater Sun of Maroh 22d.
I have been coming to Clearwater sinoe 1923, have been a property owner sinoe
1934 and a Floridian sinoe 1941. In that time I have seen many ohanges in
Clearwater many of them not so good and this change would be &nong the worst.
Item #1 of the artiole suggests that Merchants are having difficulty
looating new streets in Hill Crest and Crest Lake seotions. All rights, if the
residents there want numbers let them have them why ohange the names of streets
allover the City? _
Item #2 Our Winter Visitors and residents will looate any street
they want without it being neoessary to change from names to numbers.
Item #3 The duplioation of names on some of the streets is contusing
but there are plenty of names and good ones left in the EngliSh language to
remedy the few that are duplicated without Changing all of the names in the
City to numbers.
I would humbly submit that many large Cities have been getting along
very nioely with names for many many years so why do we have to be a numerioal
City when the names we have really mean something to us who live here.
Residents and Visitors and certainly property owners should have
a voice in the final decision. I wonder if they will.
Very truly,
i.

CITY MANAG�R,
Clearwater, Florida.
Desr A2r. Hendrix: -
If this doea not belong in yaur departrflent wi.',�, you ki.ndly
send it to the proper destination, w�ic;� I trust is not the OfP3cia1 Waste
Basket. .
I want to register my disapproval of the changing oP the names of the
strc�ets 3n our Gity to numbers as set iorth in the Clearwater SUn of March 22d.
I have been coming to Clearwater since 1'923, have bee� a property owner since
1934 and a Flori@ian since 1941. I,n that time I have seen many changes in
Cler�r�vater many of them not so good and this change would be �ong the worst.
Item #i of the article sugge�ts that Merc2�?nts are having difPiculty
locating new streets in Hill Crest �d Crest Lake �ections, Al� rights, i�P the
residents there want numbers let th:ezi have them why ehange the nanes oP streets
aIl over t�e City?
Item #2 Our Winter Visitors an� residen�s will locate any s�reet
thsy want without it being necessary to change fror� na�aes to n.umbers.
Item '�3 The duplicatlon of nam.es on some of the stree`�s is confuaing
, but there are plenty of names and good ones Ief't in the English langua.ge 'to �
remedy the few tha.t are duplicated w�ithout c�anging all oi the names in the
City tp numbers.
I would humbly aubmit that many Iarge Cities have been ge�ting along
very nicely with names for many nany years so wh� do �ve have to be a nu�erical
City when the names rve have reallp mEan something to us who live here,
Residents and Visitors and certain.ly property owners shcul:d have
a voice in the final decision. I wonder if they will.
Very truly,
Idrs. Helen D, k°lagg
