Gentlemen:
I am representing Mr. J. A. Rigdon, who at the present time if the
owner of a smell building looated on a plot of ground owned by the City.
The property is located on the property known to you 8S the Imperial Dock
leese, and is, of' oourse, loooted on Cle~rwater Beacll.
The Ci ty leused a certain amount of land to the Imperial Dock, who
in turn subleased e pieoe of ground 50 feet square to Mr. Ed Watkins. This
sublease was approved by the Oity Commission. As 1~. Watkins was not using
the entire 50 feet he subleased a part of the land to MX. Frank Farthing,
who operates an outboord motor repoir service. At still a later date 1~.
Farthing subleased a smell plot of ground to my olien t, Mr. Rigdon, 'Who
built a building thereon and operated a Donut Shop. Neither of these
last two lllentioned Subleases have been approved by the 0ity OOlIlLUission
or the City Manager.
In the mean time Mr. Watkins has sold his interest to Mr. Trombley,
and I understand that this trunsfer has been approved by the Commission also.
My client desires to h~ve the last two ~bove mentioned subleases
approved by the Cornmis".ion in order that he might negotiate a sale of the
property. He had a prospect interested in the property, but due to the
conditions above stated lost the s8le, and he does not desire to have this
happen again.
I am Hsking that the Commission approve the sub1euse from Mr.
Watkins of Mr. Trombley to Mr. Farthing, and the sublease from Mr. Farthing
to Mr. Rigdon.

ARCH RINGS:
The under sides of all arch rings Vlere investigated!:lnd in general are
considered structurally sound. However, i:lll arch spans are showing the
beginning of whet will shortly be serious disintegration due to heavy
corrosion of the reinforcing bars in ma ny areas where the steel has insuffi-
cient soverage. Concrete in the arch rings and in the sidewalR brackets is
being broken out along the lines of these corroding bars. In order to check
this disintegration all exposed burs should be cleaned with lights pneumatic
Chipping hamrners, all spolled or loose concrete removed, the bars exposed until
good steel is encountered and all affected areas covered with Gunite or - as
suggested by 1-:1'. Bennett - 0 heavy caating of hot asphel t.
Such trea'~ment will not eliminate further deterioration of the concrete
but will be 8 definite retardant to damaged At present it is riot "considered
that the structural strength of the arches has been seriously impaired; however,
immediate corrective measures are necessary if serious impairment is to be
avoided. It is to be eophasized that when these corrections are completed
their continued value will depend on regular inspections and co~rection of
further depreciation as soon as it 1s noticed. With the above program of
correction and regular inspections there is no reason to believe that the
structure will not give a useful service life of 20 or more years.

It is impossible to estimate the exact amount of work involved in the
above oorrections but it is suggested that an amount of $500 for each of the
18 spans or $9,000 total should be sufficient.
BASCULE SPi~N:
The basoule has been recently cleaned and painted and heavily corroded
steel parts removed and replaced by welding in new sections. The steel
framing at present is in fairly good shape except for the machinery ,supports
and parts in the vicinity of the roller tracks. There is much heavy corrosion
on these parts which should be removed and the surfaces ooated with a rust
inhibitivo coating. Hot ~sphalt - as suggested for the corroded bars in the
arches is s ~:ggested.
The timber decking on the bascule roadway and sidewmlks is largely spongy
and rotten, requiring early replacement. It was W~. Bennett's desire'to replace
these with an ,open grid steel decking and checkered plate sidewelks.
, , .
Cost of the propesed bascule repairs would approximate:
Cleaning and painting allow
1670 sq. ft. bridge deoking @4.00
460 sq. ft. sidewal~ d~cking @ 3.00
Remove existin~~ decking allow

All:of the concrete approaches carry a he/;\vy ornamental concrete handrail
which is sho~ing disintegration varying from superficial to heavy damage. This
handrail in no way effects the structural stability of the bridge and no immediate

required on a periodic besLs.

Mr. Boyd A. Bennett, City Manager

Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Bennett:
Answering your letter of September 15th, the Road Board at its meeting here
on Septrnnber 6th agreed to stand one-halr the cost of repairs to the Clearwater
Bridge based on our Bridge Engineer's report not to exceed the swn of $12,000.00
provided that Pinellas County would pay the other one-half. I see no reason
why this offer should not be extended to the City of Clearwater. Certainly
the Department, before proceeding, would want whiohever agency whioh intends
to participate to ba ve the money 0 n hand.
Sincerely,

Tallahassee, Florida
Dear Mr. Bayless:
We are in reoeipt of a report, dated September 3, f.rom yoar Bridge
Engineer, Mr. W. E. Dean, following his inspection of the draw bridge on the
Causeway at Clearwater.
We indeed appreciate the time and effort spent by Mr. Dean ~nd your
interests in having him m~ke ,the inspection and report.
It is regretted that the Cit,y does not have any money with which. to
do this work. It is hoped, however, that in the future it may be possible
to allocate some of the City's income for this pUlpose. We are wondering
whether or not the state Road Department could heve this work done and the
City share in its cost sometime in the future when we can arrange for funds.
Anything you may be able to do in the City's behalf and any suggestions
you may have relative to this matter would indeed be ~ppreciated.
Cordially yours,

The City leased a certain r�mount c�i Zand to the Imperial Dock, who
in tuxn subleased � piece oi' ground 50 feet squere to Iv;r. Ed Watkins. This

kRCH RINGSa
The under sides of all arch rings vaere� inva�tige'ted �and i�n general are
considered structurally soun.d. However, all arch spans�are showing the
beginning of V�hat tvill shortly be serious disintegratian du•e to heavy
co�rosion of the reinPorcing bars in many areas where the steel has insuffi-
cient soverage. Concrets in -�he asch rings and in the side�,valg bracicets is
being broken out along the lines of these corroding bars. In order to cheek
this disintegratian all exposed bars should be cleaned vaith lights pneumatic
chi�ping hammers, all spalled or Ioose cancr�te removed, the bars exposed Ltntil
good steel is encountered and a11 affected aress coverad with Gunite or - as
suggested by b:r. Bennett - a heavvi ceating of hot asphalt.
Such treatment will nc�t c;,_�inir,ate further deterioration of the concrete
but will be a defin�te retardaiit; to damege. �;t present it is riot 'corisidered
that the structuxal strength of the arches has b een seriously impairad; however,
imme�iate corractive measures are necessary ii serio�zs impairment is �o be
avoided. It is ta be emphasized that when t hess c�rrecti�ns ax•e completed
their continued value will depend on regular inspections and correction of
further depreciation as soon r,s ii: is n�ticed. With the �above progr�m oi'
correction and regular i�spect;i�ns there is no reason to believe �hat the
structure will not give a useful service life o� 20 or more year�.
It is ir�possible to estimate the exact amount of work involved in the
above corrections but it is suggested that an amount o� $p500 for each of the
1$ spans or �9,000 total shnuld be sufPicient. .
BASGUL':� SPHN: `
The b�sc�.�le has tieen recently clean'ed and painted and he�vily corroded
steel parts remr�ved and replzced by w�lding in new sections. The steel
framing at presen�G is i� fairly good. shape oxcept for the machinery,supports
and garts in the viciniiy of the roller tracks. There is much h�•:3vy corrosion
on these parts vahieh should be removed and. �he surfaces coated with a rust '
inhibitive coa�in�. Hot asphalt - as suggested i'ar the corroded bars in the
arches is sug�ested.
The timber d<;ekin� on the bescule roadway a�.d sidew�lka is largely s�ongy
and ro+�ten, rec�uiring early re�lacement. It Was N�r. Bennet�'s desire'ta replace
these with an �open grid steel deckin� and cheekered plete side�+rallts.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
knswerino your letter of'September 15th, the Road Boerd at zts meeting here
on September 6th agreed to stand one-ha1Y the cost of repairs to the Clearwa�er
Bricige based on our Bridge �ngineer's report not to eaceed the sum of �12 000.00
prov�ided that Yinellas County would pay the other one-half. I see no reason
why this offer should not be sxtended to the City of Gleqrvlater. Certainly
'che Department, befpre psoceeding, would want whichever agencg v�hich �ntends
to participate to have the money on hand.

Dear Mr, Baqless:
Vle are in receipt of a report, dated September 3, from your �ridge
Engineer, Nlr. V�l. E. Dean, following his inspection of the draw bridge on the
Causevaay at Glearvaater.
V'le ir,deed a�preciate the time and effort spent by Ntr. De�n and your
interests in having him make,�he inspection and report.
It is regretted that #:he City does not have any money wit� which to
do this work. It is hoped, ho�vever, that in the future i�L mey be possible
to allocrate some of the City�s income i'or this purpose. tiVe are wondering
whether or not the State Road Department eould have this work done and the
City share in its cost sometime in the future when we can arrange for funds.
Anything yott may be able 'to do in the City's behalf and any suggestions
you ma,y haue relative to this matter �vould indeed be appreciated.
