Adjournment -~-------------~------~-------~- December 6, 1950 Clearwater City Commission Clearwater, Florid~. Dear Sirs: I'm writing you in regard to Mrs. Carrie Hatcher who 1ives in a small house trailer on the back of our Church of God Parsonage lot located at 825 Pinellas St. here in Clearwater. Carrie Hatcher is very old and unable to take care or herself, so as she is a member of our Church it fa11s our lot to take care of her. One or our members oooks her food and talces 1 t to her three times daily. She has lived here at this partioular place for several years in her trailer, and needles~ to say the trailer is so old it wouldn't stand movIng. I understand there is an ordinance passed against house trailera in ou~ oity however I'm mak1ng a special request to you on behalf of this woman, as it is my opinion as well as others who know her, that she wouldn't last long if she were moved away where our people couldn't take care of her. If it is at all possible to give her a permit to live here until she passes on, please give this your careful consideration. SIgned: Respectfu11y yours, Lynol Hugh Alford Pastor Church of God Cor.

WHEREAS, the City Commission ot the City of Clearwater, Florida, has under con- sideration the opening up of the right-of-way across the S. A. L. Railroad tracks at either North Missouri Avenue or North Jefferson Avenue in the Country Club Section of Olearwater, Florida; and - WHEREAS, this Association has given the matter careful consideration in an attempt to arrIve at a fair and just decision. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNTRY CLUB ASSOCIATION IN REGULAR MEh~nlG ASSEMBLED: 1st: That it is the belief and opinion of this Association that for said right of way to be opened up at either North Missouri Avenue or North Jef~erson kvenue would be unw,ise and unwarranted. 2nd: That it is the belief of said Association that suf~1cient right of ingresa ilia" egress exists to t he adjacent property owners through the use of Be1tty lane and North Greenwood Avenue. 3rd: That one through highway on Betty lane now runs through the Country Club !eotion and to open up either North Missouri Avenue or North J'erreraon Avenue would create another highway, thereby damaging the value of the property in the Oountry Club Section, which property is solely residential. 4th: For the City Commission to open up either of the above referred to rights- ot-ways condemnation proceedings would have to be instituted. all of which would result in unnecessary expenses to the citizens and ta,x payers of the City of Clear- water..

I have been delivering ~le gaso11ne to the m.jority ot the boats since by bucketing and was satisfied vdth the vote of the Commissioners. But in todays Sun I see where Capt.

Now Mr. Sargeant pl~ce your self in rrry position and see if you would not ODnle to the oonc1us10n that there is some- thing wrong as I was given the understanding that there would not be no equipment put on the dock to service the boats with.

Just last week I got a call from Capt.

On December 3rd, at ll:00 otclock a.m., while he was on his way to a lake on Belcher road just past Ulmerton Road, he was walking over, wha t appeared to be some land, but what turned out to be a dump with a burning substance underneath. It appeared to Mr. Shephard that there 'Were only a few rocks and boards on top of the sand~ but he caved 1n and both of his feet were severely burned. He had and is st1ll having. medical attention, and has been unable to work s1nce the occurrence. Apparently he will be unable to work ~or approximately two weeks. Mr. Shephard tells me that the property is owned by the oounty and the City of Clearwater, and is being used as a dump. There seems to be no watchman on the property~ no fences, nor sign. My client &dvis88 me that in walking over the land he could see no ind1cation that there was any smoke or fire, but that it was smoldering red underneath after he caved in. On one foot he has a severe rirs~ degree burn. It is not known what the arrangements are between the county and the city. but it 1s evident to me that this property W8'S not properly fenced nor posted, and the situat:f.on that wss creBted there 'Was an attractive nu1se.nceJJ and either the cit,. or tIle county is liable.
