Dear Sir: Referring to the Legal Notice Appearing in last Wednesday'S issue of the Clearwater Sun in connection with the assessing of property on North Osceola Ave. which was recently widened. I hereby wish to file my protest against such ao~lon. On September 18, 1948, I filed in writing with Mr. F~nk Cooley who ~a then City Auditor my objection to the widening and re-paving of the block on North Osceola Ave. between Sunset Court and Drew Street, and offered an alternative. This letter is or Should be a matter of record at City Hall. Bear in mind the fact that the property owners on North Osceo1a Ave. did not ask that the street be widened. It was done at the insistence or the City of Clearwater. Why? Because the City intended t9 make a highway of North Osceola Ave. from Drew St. South, taking some or the traffiC, badly congested on Ft. Harrison Ave. and diverting it through Osceola Ave. to Cleve1and St. thence to Clearwater Beach. left turns being prohibited at the intersection of Ft. Harrison Ave. and Cle~elQnd st.. Borthbound traffio from the beach can conveniently be diverted over the City'S new hip~way Osceola Ave. The widening also providod much more and greatly needed perking space for people using the City Librery opposite my home. As I see it, the people of the City of Clearwater, as a whole are the people who have benefitted by the widening of North Osceola Ave., not the unfortunate property owner whose property happened to be located on a street which the City of Clearwater decided should be turned into a hl~hway. In view of these facts~ I believe the City of Clearwater should pay from its General Fund" the tota1 cost~ widening and re- paving North Osceola Ave. from Sunset Court to Drew street. Will you please have this letter of protest read at the meeting April 3rd and have it made a part of the record? Respect~ully youra, Signed:Geo~ge W. Evans ~~a rch 22.. 1950 Honorable Harry D.

On S9ptember 18, 1948, I aYled in writing with B3r. Frank Cooley r�ho was then City Aiuditor mq objectian to the widening and re-paving of the block on North Osceola Avc�. bet�veen Sunset Court and Dre�v 5treet, and offered an alterna�ive. This letter i� or should ba a matter of record at City Ha11. Bear, in mind the Pact �thet the propert� owners on North Oscaola Ave. did not ask that �he street be �eidened. It was done at the insistance o£ the Citg of Clearwa�er. l�ihy'? Because the City intended to make a highway of North Osceols Ave. from Drew St. South, taking some of the traffic� badlg congested on Ft. Harrison Ave, and diverting it through Osceola Ave. to Cleveland St. thence to Clearwater Beaeh, left turns being prohibited at the interseation of Ft. Harrisan A ne. and Clsveland 5�., i�orti�,bound traffia Prom the beach can canveniently be divertec� over the Citg�a new highway Osceola Av�. The �aidening also provided mueh more and greatlg needed parking spaee for people using the Citg Library epposite my hom�. As I see it, the people of the City of Clear�eater, as a whole are the people who have benefittecY by the widenin� of North Osceola Ave., not the unfortuna�e property on�ner whoss property happened to be located on a strest which the City of Clearwater decided should �e turned into a highway. In view of these facts, I believe the City of Clearwater should pay from its "General Fundt� the tiotel costcf'v�idening and re- paving North Osceola Ave, from Sunset Court to Drew Street.
