Re: Erosion Prevention by Jetties
Gentlemen:
At a meeting ot the Beach Association on September 26th, the Board or
Directors were requested to take aotion in the light ot the recent damage to the
beaoh by the high water and tides. At that meeting it was suggested that there
are available certain ooncrete boats which are surplus property with the U. S.
Government or the Maritime Comm1ssion, and that these boats be procured tor the
purpose ot tilling them for use as jetties. This matter was re~erred to the
Board ot Directors ot the Association for action, and consequently this letter
to your Commission.
Most ot the residents and business inte~ests ot the City recognize the ~-
portanoe of the beach to the community 8S a whole, and most interested persons
know tbs. taU. S _ Government survey is pending. Therefore, it is recoJDnended
that your Co.mmisslon appoint a oommittee of its members to expedite the U. 8.
Government survey report and exploit the possibility and practioability or using
the surplus ooncrete boats for jetties to be located oonsistent with the survey_
This Association stands ready to render Whatever assistance it can to your
Commission or its Erosion Committee toward the end that some immediate action
be taken in the light of the above suggestions and recommendations,.
Cordially yours,
Clearwater Beach Associ&,tlon

This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of SepteDlber 29, 1950, making
inquiry in regard to the availability tor sale of concrete vessels.
Thf) Maritime Administration does not have any further vessels ot this type
tor sale. At the last sale for ooncrete ships on JUly 80. 1948_ nine ooncrete
shipe were sold. for an average price of approximately $28,000 per vessel. These
vessels have been sunk tor jetty purposes.
For your further information, only a limited number ot concrete ships and
barges were oonstructed, approximately seventy in all. Of the few remainIng
vessels most all are in the Pacifio areas, and all are in use and. hence, no~
for sale at thIs time.

Seaweed Removal.
Gent18llenl
At a ~eeting of the Clearwater Beach Association held Tuesday, SepCember
26th, the Board of Directors or that organisation were authorized to tak~
appropriate action to carry out the thoughts expressed ~ the residents and
businessmen at that meet1ng. Accordingly, the Board ofD1rectora or tae
Association held a meeting on ThurSday, September 28th, and drafted ~e f01low-
ing letter to be forwarded to ~ou.
It is again pointed out tha t the area of the beach between h1gh water mark
and low water ~rk 1s public property~ regardless ot the ownersh1p of the land
adjacent to the high water mark, to which the public have access through o:1t'Y
owned areas and street ends.
Consequently, it is the recmnmendation of the Association that whatever
aotion your City Cmmmission sees fit to take w1th respect to the unusual sea-
weed accumulat1on~ the whole area of the beach between high and low water mark
be given the same treatment regardless or the ownership of the upland land
adjacent thereto.
Heretot'ore the City has had considerab1e expense by way of advertising the
beach and replacement of the sand - 811 for the purpose of making the beach as
attract1ve as 1ts importanoe ie to the tourist trade.

CLEARWATER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
N. M. FaUlds, Principal
October 5, 1950
Hon. Harry D. Sargeant
Mayor of City of Clearwater
Commissioners of City of Clearwater
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
I w1eh to call your attention to a rather bad tra.f'flo condition near the
junior and Senior High Schools. Th& busses that carry the children to and from
the schools, load and unload on Laura street, the street south ot the two schools.
The traffic on this street is one way, headed west and dead-ends on Booth Avenue.
In other words the traffic must either turn south and go out on Cleveland or turn
north and go out to Drew Street. This makes an extremely congested area at Laura
and Booth and also on Booth and Cleveland and Booth and Drew.
As Booth Avenue 1s a narrow street and there 1s no stop light at Booth and
Cleveland or Booth and Drew, it presents quite a traffic hasard on Booth, morning,
noon~ and evening, especially in rainy weather or if there 1s some ente~tainmen~
at the schools. This condit10n as anyone might observe is very bad right now and
after the completion of the Florida Power Building 1t will become increasingly worse.
My suggestion of a possible remedy of this situation would be to open Laura
Street from Booth Avenue to Myrtle. Myrtle Avenue is a w1de street and as there
is a traffio light at Cleveland and Myrtle the school traf'fic could go oval' IaUX'al
to Myrtle. Since Myrtle 1s being widened to ~rew, this opening would be a help
in north bound traffic entering Drew Street. It is my understanding that the City
Commission is working on this problem and I hope the opening of this street can
be accomplished. I am quite sure all the patrons of the two sohools would be
heartily in favor of this project and should you want an expression from the Parent-
Teacher Association in favor ot th1s matter, I am sure they would be glad to
cooperate by endorsing this project.
We certainly would appreciate it tram the school standpoint and be glad to
give you any assistance in our power. It this condition is not corrected I am
very- much afraid we will have some very serious accident as there are around 1200
children in the two schools and traffic tacilities are very limited at the best.
I wish to thank you very much for anything you can do to remedy this situation.
Very sincerely.

Regarding the Closing hour ~or the liquor houses at 3:00 A.M. you should know
that the majority of the Olearwater c1tiaens, and the winter visitors not to mention
the respectable business men and women, would oppose it if they were consulted.
The liquor business 1s over-worked in this town and the 25 11quor men who com-
plain about their short hours should wake up to that tact. It they can't make s

At e meeting oP the Clear�vater Beach Associat3on ha�cl Tuesdsy, September
26th, the Board of Directore of' that organization were euthorized to take
appropriate action �o eQrry out the thoughts expressed by the residents and

Asaociation held a meating on Thursday, September 26th, and dra£ted tha follow-
in� letter to be Porwarded to y,ou.
It is again pointed out that the area of the beach bet�vaen high watsr raark
and low water mark is public proper�y, regardless of the ownarship oP the land
adjacent to the h3gh water mark, to which �he pub].ic have access through citg
owned areas and street enda.
Conaequently, it is the recomxnendation oP tl�e Asaociation that wha�ever
ection your City Commission sees Yit to take with respeet to the unusual sea-
weed accumulat�on, the whc,le area oP the beach betwean high and lo�' water mark
be given the same treatment regardless oP the ownership oP tha upland land
adjacent thereto.
HeretoPore the City hes had considerable expense by way oP adverbising the

Gentlemen�
I wish to call your attent�on to a rather bad traf�ic comlitioa� near the
junior and Senior High Sehools. 'Phe bussea tYiat ca rry the children to and from
the schools, load and unload on Laura Street, the s�reet eou'th of the two achools.
The traffic on this street is one wag, h�aded west and dead-encls on Booth �4venue.
In other words the tra�Pic must either turn south and go out on Cleveland or turn
north and go out to Drew Street. Tiiia makes an extremely congested area at I,aurs
and Booth and also on Booth and Cleveland and Booth and Draw.
i4e Booth Avenue ia a narrow 's�reet and there is no �top ligh� a� Booth and
Cleveland ar Booth and Drew, it presents Qu3te a tra�PPie hazard on Booth,, morning,
noan, and evening, espee3.ally in rain.y weather or iP there i� some entertairnnen�
at the acnoo�s. This condition as anyone might observe is very bad rigrt noar and
�fter the compTetion of the Florida Power Building it will become 3ncreasingly worse.
�iy suggestion of a possible remedy of. this situation wauld be to open Laura
3tree� from Booth &venue to Myrtle. D4yrtle Avenue is a wide street and as there
is a traf�'ic lig�t at C7�eveland and My.rtle the school icraPfic could go over I,aura�
to Myrtleo 3'�?nce Myr�le is bein� widened to #�raw, this open3ng would be a help
in norih bound trafPic entering Dre�v 3.treete It is my understanding that bhe City
Commission is working on tkiis problem and I Ysope �the opening of this streat can
be accomplishede I am quite sure all the patrons oi the two achool$ would be
heartily ix► favor of thia project and ahould you want an expression from ihe Paren�

YY.e cgrtainlv wauld appreciate it grom the aehool st;andpoin� �r�d be glad to

very much afraid we will have some ver� serious accident $s �here ar� around 1200
