If this goes thru it will hurt my business greatly because most of my guests

"Dear Mr. Potters
May I aoknowledge your telegram of March?, 1950, in Wilich
you state that the Board of County Commissioners of Pinellaa County,
Florida objects to a proposal of Trgns.Canada Air Lines to use Drew
Field rather than Pinellas International airport in serving your area.
The Board granted Trans-Canada authority, efrective Maroh 11,
1950~ to serve a route between the co-ter~minal points Montrea1 and
Toronto, Canada and the terminal point Port-ot-Spain via several
intermediate points, including Tampa-8t. Petersburg,. Florida. 'l'he
carr1er r1led with the Board March 16, 1960 a notioe or its int~ntion
to serve Tampa-St. Petersburg through Tampa Internationa1 Airport,
formerly named Drew Field.
The Board is of course interested t~t service to oertificated
points be provided through adequate, safe, and convenient airports.
However, within the reasonable bounds of much measures of the ~blic
interest, the individual carrier may select the airport through which
to serve n point certificated to it. Since this situation prevail~
with respect to our own oarriers, you wi1l readily understand that it
would not be appropriate ~or us to attenlpt to influence a selection
made by a f'oreign air carrier.
We have noted with interest your views rega~lng use of Pinellaa
International Airport by Trans-Canada. However~ in view of the situation
described above, we regret to say that we ~ve no suggestion to GBke
other than continuing efforts on your part to bring the advantages of
Pinel~s International Airport to the attention of Trans-Canada.

Re: Occupational License
Gentlemen:
Before opening our office in Clearwater, last summer, we mAde inquiry at ~e City
Hall and were advised that there was no occupational license tax for Insur.ance
adjusters. Some thirty days ago, we received a bill in the amount of $;30.00 for
the Occupational License.
The Occupational License Tax for Adjusters in Tampa is $25.00, and ~t i5 our
understanding that in St. Petersburg it is $20.00. It would appear t~t in a
town the size of Clearwater~ it should not be over $15.00. In view of our
thoughts on this matter, we discussed it with a number of our business associates
in Clearwater who expressed their agreement with us.
The Frazee-Barnos Company is the first sta te Lie ensed Independent Adjusting Firm
to open an office in Clearwater. Although it haa cost us money, we have maintained
a rull time man in Clearwater since the office was opened and intend to continue
to do so. We are taking nothing out of Clearwater but are spending our own
money there with your Garages, ContI~ctors and other busines~ houses, beside pay-
ing olaims with out of State money.
Since this is apparently the first time that a question might have arisen in regard
to this license tee, we would appreciate any cons~deratlon that you nay give us.
Yours very truly,

Re: Sea Scout Base
Gentlemen:
The construction of the Sea Scout Base building by the Trustees has about
been completed except for the hereinafter set forth matters.
Inasmuch as all of the payments of the billa were rendered through the City
and paid by the city out of funds held by them for this purpose, it is not
necessary to render an accounting of the same herewith. However, there are a
number of individual oontributions made in the nature of donations which were a
great help in the constn1ction and should be recognized by the City in so~e
official manner.

In the be~inning, the site was filled by cement and metal left by the
destruction of the original,build1ng and before anything could be done it had to
be cleared from the site. The W. H. Armston Compa~ny kindly sent equipment to
the location and pushed the site clea~ of all rubble at no charge.
A proposed sketch of the location and the building to be erected was furnished
by Roy W. Wakeling, ably assisted by Mr. Robert II. Levison, one of his employees.
and this sketch was used to obtain permits and diroction of work. The architects,
i. e., Mr. Wakeling and his assistants donated the cost of all of this preparation,
and D. E. Brand & Son, Inc., who operate a blueprint orfice at 604 Court Street,
furnished all of the blueprints necessary for this work at no charge. The Florida
Building Products, Inc., of 215 S. Myrtle Street, were extraordinarily generous in
tha t they furnished us all of the a luminum windows and screens for the entire
building, which at retail would have amounted to about $800.00, and in addition
furnished all roaterials such as bUilding block and other building materials at
10% below the regular l>l"ice.
The General Ready-Mixed Concrete, Inc., furnished all ready mixed concrete on
the job when needed, at 10% below the regular price. Inasmuch as a large amount of
oement was used on this job, this was also a veI"Y substantial donation.
The Hamrick Lumber Yard, the W. W. Blackburn Company, the NaIl Lumber Company
and Pinellas Lumber Company of Clearwater, all rurnished materials at les~ than the
regular price and were very helpful in prodUCing this building. The Finch Wheel
Alignment & We~ding Works of 1142' E. Cleveland Street, purchased the steel at cost
and assembled and welded on the job eight steei trusse5 with a spread of 70 footr
clearance and erected the same on the pilasters when ready and in addition thereto
made a substantial donation in the way of a discount on the job. This contribution
was very considerable, in view or the cotlpetitive prices in Tampa.
The Parker Electric Company furnished all electrical installations at actU&ll
cost and this was a very important contribution. Mr. Henry IYn. George~ the plumber
on the job made a contribution in cash to the job. Which waa deposited to the
account and oleared through the regular channels. Messrs. Tack & Warren furnished
materials and without charge marked a bill receipted in full on certain materials:
furnished by them.
The Harbison Supply Campa ny of' 1207 S. Ft. Harl'ison, the Gulf Coo,at Hardy/are
of 42 N. Garden Avenue, Hovey Brothers of 901 Cleveland, all discounted their bills
for the benefit of the construction work.
Mr. Clegg E. Funderburke, a roofer in Clearwater, donated his services in
supervising the job and worked on the labor at less than the usual wage. The Aae
ROOfing Company of St. PeterSburg, permitted use of their equipment without charge.
The J. C. Penny Company, Inc. or Cleveland Street and Garden Avenue, rurnished
us 23 fluorescent lighting fixtures and other equipment which was used in the said
building and was a very substantial saving in cost. We received Q cash donation
from Mr. Paul Ambrose and the Optimist Club of Clearwater, which was deposited in
the said account ot the City and checked out in the usual manner.
Captain A. B. S~ith of ,309 Orangeview Avenue, Clearwater, a retired Naval
Offioer, donated two original riding lights from the U.S.S.Hartford and two
decorative anchors and a Very-Gun. The lights and the anchors are on the front
of the building and lend a great deal of charm to the entrance.
Mr. C. R. Kilbourne or 206 Pennsylvania Avenue built the weather-vane and.
erect~d it on the property which is a distinctive attraction.
Thayer J.totor Oompany furnished transportation to and trom Tampa on two
',~;\:9.0c.s~onB tor materials needed on the job, without charge.

Letter trom H.H.Baskin--aont'd.
Mr. S. A. Korones of Korones Jewelers, turnished engraving on two of the
memorial p1aqueo to be used in the dedioation of the building, without charge.
As 1s well known to the City, Mr. John ~gelken, ~ citizen and a bu1lder,
supervised all or the ~ork or constructing this bUilding and used extremely good
judgment in economiZing where possible in every way, ,et giving an exoellent,
substantial building at a prioe which 1s much below the uBua1 oost ~or suoh 8
building. His services were indispensable and ware furnished without oharge and
kept him on that job ~or mOI'e than two months II The Sea Snout BaBe and the City
owe Mr. Segelken a warm vote or thanks for his generous contribution.
In olosing, the building is 70 feet wide by 115 feet long, construoted or
oement block, steel trusses and a 20-year built up roar. It has a oeiling
plastered inside throu~out and a stucco finish on the outside, with gutter and
downspouts in place. The electrical work in this building is eno1osed in condui~
and is laid out in order that it can be used aa a public gathering place with exit;
lights and other preoautions as well as a dining hall raoility which will hold
400 seated guests with oOlllrort, together with kitchen facilities and ampJ.e rest
roams ror a large gathering. Some or the kitchen equipment is in plaoe and it
would be relatively inexpensive to finish up the accollmodations for the purpose
o~ opera tion.
The building is piped for gas and water and sewer connections are ready for
installation to a City sewer system when the sewer has been placed in front of
the building.
The City has previously cleared the ground and removed the rubble sur.round1ng
this building and at some time it ~y be possible to plaoe enough shell marl on
the front to nake it satisfactory for parking facilities.
Some plumbing facilities are needed to complete the installation but there
are several of~ers of equipment which wi11~ if granted. complete this job.
It is, of oourse. desirable that the ~ront doors be screened, which has not
been done at this time due to the lack of finance.
It has been a pleasure on the part of the COLElttee to assist in this con-
struction and we wish to express to Mr. Bennett and Mr. Anderson our sinoere
appreciation o~ their cooperation. We feel that it will offer a very substantial
oontribution to the ~provement of the entertainment of the youth of ~e City
both in scouting and in other youth activities.

�.950, to serve a route between the co-terr�zinal points Montraal and
Toronto, Canada and the terminal point Port-of-S'pain via severa;Z
intermediate points, includin� Taznpa-St. Petersburg, F].orida. The
e�rriex �iled with the Board March 16� 1950 a notice of its intention
to serve Tampa-St. Petersburg through Tampa International Airport,
formerly named �reta Field.
Thb Boerd 3a of course interested that service to certificated
points be providad through adequete, ,safe, and conven�.�nt airports.
However, witliin the reasonable bounds of such measures of the public
interest, the indiv3.dua1 carrier ma� select the air�ort through whiciz

Re: Gccupational. License
Ge�tlemen:
h2arch 3', 1950
Be.fore opening our office in Clearwater, last stu,-unerD we made inquiry at the City
Ha11 and were advisaci thst there was no occupstional license tax for insurance
adjnsters. Some thirty days ago, �ve receivad a bill in the amount of �30.00 �oz�
the Occupational License,
The Occupational Licen�eE Tax for Ad justerg in Tamra is $�25Q00, sncl it 3.s our
understanding that in St. Petersburg it is �20.00. It would appear ti�at in a
town the aiae �s Clearwater, it should noi be over $�15.00. In view of our
thougis�s oz� this natt�r, we discussed it with a number of our business sssociates
in Clearczater who exprassed their a�reement with us.
The Frazee-Barnes Company is t)ne first State Licensed Iridependent Adjusting Firm
to open an office in Glear.��tar. Although it ha3 cost uss money, we have maintained
a full time man in Clearwater since the office wa� o�ened and 3ntend to continue
to do so. Yde are taking nothing out of Clearevater but ard spending our own
m�ney there with your Garagea, Gont�a-ctors and other businegs:houses, beside pay-
ing c1ai.Lns P�ith out of Stato money.
Since this is:apparently the first time that a question mi�ht heve arisen in rsgard
to this lieense fee, we v¢ould appreciate any cons3.deration vhat you may give us.

owe I�ir. Segolken a warm vote of thanks for his generous con'tribution.
In closin�, the building is 70 feet wide by lI5 feet lon�, conatructed of
cement block, steel trusses and a 20-gaar built up roof, It has a ceiT3ng

The City has previously cleared the �round and removed the rubble surrounc�ing

3ome plumbing facilitias are needed to complete ths installation but �here
are several offers oi' equipmen� whieh will, if granted, complete this job.
It is, of courss, desirabla that the front do�rs: be screened, which has not
