Before we oun do anything, it is necassory to reurrange our Primury feeders and
series street lighting 0 iroui ts. .hS an example: '}'o get Dunedin 101ld off of
our Cleurw~ter substl.ltion und de-energize the presellt feeders on Garden .hvenue
and aoross Stevenson's Creek to Union street, it ~as necessory for us to rebuild
our ploe line and inBtall 4/0 feeders from our Dunedin substation to the metn part
of the City. I Elm hoppy to report that this has been done.
Vie will have to install three 150 h.'VA tr{;lnsformers to help oarry Dunedin; "Ie hope
to have these by January 15th or February 1st, and when they are installed we will
have to install f.l three l)hlJse line from the Dunedin substation to "Dead M/;1n's Cornertf
this has been completed this week.
Vie must rebuild the south end of Dunedin from Bel trees Street to Douglas .Iwenue
to pick up the 10l;:ld 0 n the nor th s ide of Stevenso It' 8 Creek; this has not been done.
Now the' balanoe of this "Work is the setting of approximately ninety (90) poles;
all of '!lhich will be on b!:l ok: property lines vJher e no alley exists. .Rlse the
installing lines where no alley exists. .J~lso the installing of 9000 lbs. of
wire plUS the moving of tralls1'ormers) aervices, etc.

On the white-way pDrt of this job \Ve have reoeived the transformers, refleotors

Dear Muyor Houze;-
Some time ugo you butllorized me to enter into negotiatiolls witll r.lr.
IoCr. Chester D. McMullen for the )UrCl111se of certain land to be used as a pi:.lrt
of t he new negro pClrk on rl'uml.Ju i3l:1Y. The 11:.ll1d In question is legally deseri bed
as all that part of Government Lot 1 in Section 15-29-16 lying ~outh of an
EBsteL'ly p:cojection of the Hortll line of Goverl1l:.ent Lot 4 in i:)ection 10-29-16.
Goverrunent Lot 4 if th,.e property on VJhicl1 the main 1JbJ:.t 0:': the pork is located,
and I believe it is tlla Oi ty' s wish to UC lllLire all .vro part.y lyi11g immedia tely
East of this Lot 4.
I am glad to advise you thut I have now been able to reach BIl agreement
wi th IvIr. McMullen, who is ucting for hill1:"lelf bnd as a eent for the esta te of
Don G. l,lcMullen. n hulf' interest in thIs property t:JS owned by 1.11'. Chester M.c
Mullen, Lnd the other 11811' is oV~tled by the esttlte 01' Don C. lIIcl\:ullen.
The ~greell1ent is that the City 'will receive deeds of oonveyance signed
by 1..;1'. Chester MoMullen und his wife, 6nd t:I deed fr:Jm the Executors of the
estl-.lte of' Don (). McI.jullen, both deeds to be delivered for Ei t .Jtl:Jl consideration
of ;;,52,500. Ivlr. Chester B. IvlcI,lullen is reudy to go through 'Nith his p8rt of
the trE:insactiol1 immediwt.ely. However, it will require a f'ew days to have the
convey~nce froIll the estute of Don C. riIcI\lullen approved by the court, so it

Confirming our conversution of Saturday morning, Deoember 13th regarding

you for the word of encouragement you gave me.
As I stated to you, we were ussured of gas ~nd water facilities at the time

of the Oi ty offici81s uud the Superintendant of the Woter & Gas Department,
we have gone ahetld bnd Illtlde s uoh improvement s as the pav ing of th~ee s tre ets
,.
at the cost of :,?50JO.OO, and now huvc constructio:1 started and proposed which
represents an investment of the vicinity o:f some ;100,000.00. 1!'urthermore,
our proj ect is fully upproved by the :B'HA, bnd a good pert of ow' building is
finl;inoed in such l;i manner.
Any arrangement to hl;ive the owners of the individual lots l;ind houses to :finanoe
their vJoter and gus 1'ucilities themselves would de~'ini tely not Viork, /:Jnd would
hinder obr sales to such an extent thet we may hove to suspend operations.
Your promise to eX11edite this Inatter for us will be highly appreciated and we
wish to thank you for your kmnd efforts.
Very truly yours,

Clearwater, Florida
'Gear 5ir:
Tn Realy �o your letter of December �., 1g47, ple�se be as;�ured t�at the promisas
made by I�ir, x, P�. Higgins have noi; been forgot�an, nTaybe i� T can explain the
amount o� prepa.ratory work entailed, it �vill help to claiify our situ�ation.
Before we can do anything, it is neces�ary to rear��nge our Yrim�x•y feeders �nd
series street lighting circuits, �is an example: To get Dunedin load bff oi'
our Glearvrater substetibn and de--energize the present feeders on Garden Avenue
and across Si�evensoh's Creek to Union Street, it wes necessery for us to �ebuild
our ploe lina and install �./0 feaders fxom our Dunadin substation to ttie mpin part
of the City. I am hr�ppy to report that this �.os been done.
,le Will have to install three 150 KVA trensformers to help carry Dunedin, �ve hope
to iiave these by 7anuary 15th or Februa,ry lst, ar.d when thes� axe installed vae w�.11
have to ins�tall a tYLee phase line fr�m the Dunedin substa'�ian to 'iDeacl A4an's Corner"
this has been completed this week. �
;�Je must rabuila the south end of Dunedin fram Beltress Stxeet to Douglas xJenue
to pick up the load ott the narth side of SteiTensouTs Creek; this has not been done.
Now the�balcanee o� this work is tY�.e setting of approximately ninety (y0) poles;
all of whieh t�ill be on back gro�erty lines r�her z no alley exists. hlso the
installino lines v�here na alley exists, xlso tne installing o#' 9(�00 lbs. of
rvire tilus the moving nf transforniers, services, etc.
On the white-way part oi this job we h�ag� received the transformers, reflec�ors
and hoods, but our Iatest in�ormation as ta shippir� da�e of the poles if 14Iarch
l, 19+$.
V�e are doing everything th�at is h�.imanly po�sihle to �:eep up with rebuilcling
and extending our facili�ies to handle our new custome�s and take care of our
old ones.
',7e hesitate to turn a job like this one over t� a cantraator �s it requires
so mucii personal contr..ct and v�e iind thet contractors pay na attention to public
or human relations.
h11 we aslc is to plzase beqr with us durisg our winter pe�k and our own
manpot��er and r.�aterir�l shortages.

Gonfirming our conversai�ion of Saturday morning, December 13th regarding
water and gas facilities for our Sunset Knol1 8ubdivision, I wish �o thank
you for the word of encourageiaent you gave me.
�s I stated to you, we were assured of gas attd water faci�.ities at the time
�ve were planning the iTuprovement of our property. Because of the assurance
of tlie City of�icials and the Superintendant of the :'loter & Gas Department,
we hav2 gone ahead and made s uch improvements as the peving of th�ee streets
at the cost o� 4�50J0.00, and now have coastructio:� sl:artAd and pro�aosed which
represents an investment of the vicinity of same �bOS000.Q0. Furthermare,
�ur praject is fully �ppr�ved by i;he FHA, snd a go�d part af our :�uilding is
financed in such a manner.
�,ng arran�enz�lt to have the owners of the individual lots and houses to finance
thezr vaater and �as faciliti�s themselves woula az;:�initely not vaork, �nd would
hinder o]�r sales tio such an �xtent that we may h�ve to susrend operatians.
Your promise to e:�pedzte this rnatter f�r us �vill be hi�hly appreci�t3d and we
wish t� thanb you for your k�nd efforts.
