Re: Cost of widening Laur~ street
between Ft. Harrison and Osceola.
Gentlemen:
I am writing you in behalf of Mrs. Hertha B. Lowrey who owns the pro-
perty at 419 Laura street whioh has just been widened. She has heard from
one source that the City contemplated assessing the cost of this widening
of Laura street against the cost abutting pr6~erty owners, and from another
source, that the City has deoided that this was a matter of pUblic benafit
and that the cost isho~d 'be borne by the publio and paid out afthegeneral
. fund.

If' this latter information is correot, as I think it should be, you may
disllegard this letter. It is my feeling, and I think that of the majority
of' the oitizens, thut tl1is work was not primarily for the benefit of the
l)rOl)erty owners ulonE' LaurL Streut, but Vias und ertaken fro the good of the
public to relieve the tr~ffic oongestion in this area ~nd to divert some
of' the traffic from Glevelund street to arId from the Causeway and would not
have been Under ttJkeIl were it not for th is oonsideruti an.
Clearwater is nON at the point where illtlny more 01' these down town busi-
ness streets will have to be widened und it 0 an be rdly be contemplated that
the oost of this work, 'Which is patently for the pUblic's benefit, should
be assesned ag~inst the stores und other business properties which abut
the se dovlIl to'\^!n thoroughfares.
It has not hitherto been the policy of the City in suoh matters to assess
these widening /:lnd maintenance costs against the property 6S all of these
property o\',ners onee puid the oosts of street puving and sidewalk. It is my
understanding that the cost or widening Drew street a short time ago was paid
out of the general fund und Il~)t assessed egc:...inst abutting property, and tlwt
several other down town street repairs or blterations were f'inanced likewise.
or course, the Law und the City Charter only authorize the special os~essments
in proportion to speoial benefits, and where -the public receives the entire
benefit for oivic imllrOVeIllel1t, or tlle greater proportion of such benefit, the
cost should be borne by t he public out of the gone'rel fund and not liJude a
burden upon 1:: bu tting property owner s who are not directly benet'it ed or bene-
fited only to e smoll degree.
I am sure the. t you gentlemen vJill see the s imlJle justice of this proposi-
tion without legal researoh, and that your aotion will be in accordanoe there-
'With if you hove not already decided this questioIl.
Very truly yours,

Re: Cost of vaidening I,aura Street

T�n� writing you in beh�lf of 14Trs, Hertha B, Zowrey who owns the pro-
perty at t�19 Lraura Street which has just been wideiied. 8he has heard �rom
one s�uz•ce that �he Gity contet;iplated z�ssessing the cast of this v��idening
of Lc�urr� S�Ureet �gc�inst the cost abutting �ro�erty owners, and from another
source; that the City has deci�ed that this was a matter of pu'olic bene,fii;
�nd �Lha� the cost should be borne by the �ublic r�nd paid out �f the general
f und,

If this iat+er information is correct, as I think it should be, you may
disiegard this letter. It is �y feeling, and I thinlc that of the rat��ority
of the citizeus, th�t this work was n�� primarily for the benef'it of t;he
�roperty ov��ners alonF Laur�: Stre��t, bu�L was ur,dertaken iro �he good of the
publie to relieve the trUf.fxc rongesti�n in this are�a ana �o �ive�it some
�.f the trafzi.c i'rom L'lev�'l�nd Street t� arid from the Causeway and would no�
h�ve been iuidertaken were it not for, this consider�ti�,n.
Clearwater is nav at the point; where many mors of tY�ese down town busi-
ness streets will have to be widened and it can Yiardly ba o�utemplatec3 that
the cost of this work, which is pr�tently for the public's benei'it, uhould
be asses:�ed against the $tores �nd other busiaess properties which �+but
thes� �aTr�u town tharougiafares.
It has not hitherto been the policy of the City in su�,h mettars ta e�ssess
these widening and mai�tenance costs against the proparty as a11 of these
�roperty o�,ners once p�id the ccsts of street paving and sidewslk. Tt is my
understanding that the cost of widening Drew Stree� a short time ago w�as paid
out oi the general fund arid n�t assessed against abutting property, and that
several o�her down to��n stres3� repairs or alterations were finnnced likewise,
O� cours.e, the I,aw and ths City Gharter �nly au�horize the special as�essments
in proportipn to �pecial benefits, �nd whsre�the nublic receives the �ntire
benefit �or ciyic im�rovement, or the greater propartion of such beneiit, the
cost sh�uld be barne by the public out of the gener�l fund and not ta�de a
burden uUon abutting �roperty ovrners �trho are not dir.ectly bene:fited r�r bene-
fited �nly to a small dagree.
I am sure thrt y�u gentlemen wi11 see -che sim�le justice oi'this proposi-
tion �vithaut legal research, t�nd that pour action will ua iri accordance there-
witY,, if you h�ve not �lready clecided this y�te;sti�n.
