City I4&negel' City 01 Clearwater, Florida Dear Sirt The Edgewater Drive Association has asked the State Road Dep8rtJnent to build a catwalk on Stephenson Oreek bridge. The greatly increased number ot automobiles, their high speed, end the tact that passing is permitted on this long, narrow bridge makes it extremely hazardous ror pedestrians. '!'here bave been several aooidents here, and more than one oar has crashed into the rail- ing, necessitating extensive repairs. This area at the north end or Clearwater i8 build- ing up rapidly. and, sinoe the Stephenson Creek bridge 1s the only conneoting link with downto~n Clearwater; our Association is vitally interested in having this bridge made safe ror pedestrians. Sinoe ~e believe the City of Clearwater is also interested in relieving this existing traffic hazerd, we ask your cooperation and assistance in seauring a catwalk on this bridge. ,\.' .'

Serving on this committee with me are Joseph Green and Robert McOrillus. The reason that this committee 'WaS appointed is the fact that the Board o~ Directors of the Junior Chamber of Commerce have become dissetieried with the use being made of the Jaycee Beach Club. We have endeavored to stimulate various group activities in these facilities end while we have been somewhat sucoessful, we feel that a greater use coald be made of this beautiful club house under supervision other than the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Rather tl:'.18n continue having a limited use of the club it 1s our op1nion that we should provide some other group with an opportunity to utilize these facilities. With the foregoing explanation as back-ground_ we discover that the Senior Chamber of Commeroe of Olearwater would be desirous of obtaining the Beach Club facilities. The committee which I rerer to has met with Mr. Paul F1cht and has infor.mally discussed a tentative transfer of the facilities to the Senior ahamber. providing that approval was given by the Boa~ or Governors and the City Commission. Because of the foregoing situation, we request tbat we be given per.m1ssion to aSSign our lease to the Sen10r Chamber ot Oommeroe on a basis agreeable to the Commission, to us end to the Senior Chamber of Commeroe. This agreement, I aIn sure. can be accomplished et an ear1y meeting of your body and the proper representatives or our organization end the Senior Chamber. Our proposition ~s alread,. been thoroughly discussed with llr. Ficht and ho is under the impression that his organization ,,111 welcoDle the opportunity to assume the lease and the obligations it ~p~ies, including making the facilities avai1able on t~ same basis that the main land facilities are now usable by all legitimate organizations. I will be g1ad to furnish any desired information conoerning this matter. Signed: Very truly yours, Lloyd M. Ph1~lip8 Lloyd M. Phillips " " "" ' . ,,~,~...---, I'.; ... '---."

Bannett, Ci ty hianager Cit� of Clearwater; Florida Dear Sir: The Edgewster Drive Association has asked the State Roed Department to tn.iild a c�atwalk on Stephen�on Creek bridge,, The greativ increased number of automob3les, their high apeed, c�nd the fact that passin� ie permitted on th3a long, narrow bridge makes it e::tremely i�razardous for pedesti•i�n�. There have been several accidents hare, and tnore than one car has crashed into the r.ail- ing, necessitating extensive repairs. This area at the nortl�.end of Clearwatar is build- ing up rapidly, andy since the Stephenson Greek bridge is the only oonnec�ing link with down�own Glearwater; our Association is vitally interestc�d in having this bx�id�e made sat'e for pedestrians. Since we believe the Gity of Clsarwater is also intexested in relieving this e.Yisting traffic hazard, we sak your cooperation and assistance in securing a catwslk an thia bridge.

September 30, 1949 City Co�i�sion, Clearwater, Florida Gent�emen: I am the chairman of a com�nittae appointed by bir. Andrew Hortotz, president of the �learwater Junior Ch�mber of Coumierce. Serving on this co�nittee with me are Joseph Green aad Rcbert McCrillus, The reason that this commit�ae was appoSn�ed 1.s the fact that �the Board o� Directors of the Junior Cham}�er of Commerce hsve become dissa.tisfiad with the use being made of the Jagcee Beach Club. We have endeanared to stinnzlate various group activities in these farailiti.es and while we have been somewhat auccessful, we feel that e greater use could'be made of this beautiiul club house under sup�rvieion othea� than the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Rather than continue hr�ving a limited use o� the alub i� is our opinion thmt we shoul.d provi�ie some other group with an opportunity to utiliz� these faci2ities. WitY�.the f�regoing nxplanation as back-ground, we discover that the Senior Chambar of Commeres of Clearevater would be desiraus oi' obtaining the Beach Club fs�ilities, The commlttes which I refer to has met with Mr. Paul Ficht and has informally discussed e tentative transfer of' the facilities to the Sen3or Chambera providing that approval was given by the Board of Governors and the Cit� Commission. Because of the foregoing situation, we requeat that we be given perr,iiasion to assign aur lease to the Senior Chamber o�' Coum!erce on a basis agreeable to the Do�mission, to us and to the Senior Chamber of Cc��nercem Thia agreement, I am sure, can be accomplished at an earlg meeting o�' your body and th� proper representativea oP our organization and the Senior Chembers Our proposition has already been thoroughly discusaed wYth blr. Ficht and he is under the impression that his organization wil3 welcome the o�portunit� to assume th� lease and the obligations it impliea� including making the faci'!ities �vailsble nn the same basis that the main 1a�d facilities are novt usable by ell legitimate organ3zatione. I will be �1ad to £urnieh any desired inPormation concerning this matter. Ve�y trul� yours, Lloyd R1. Phillips Signed: Lloyd T+i.
