At the recent meeting or the Clearwater Beach Association held Tuesday,

that the Assooiation heartily approved the Commission's plan to use a brush
barrier rather than a solid barrier along the West side of Gulfview Boulevard to
deter sand sweeping off the beach onto the boulevard and lawns on the East side
01' the boulevard, provided, however, the cost of a brush barrier is not pro-

Dear Mr. Middleton:

This office represents Mr. Gus Drulias and Mr. James Koutouzos, who operate
the bowling alley on Cleveland street. Mr. Drulias has stated to me that the
alleys are in bad need of repair and it is estimated that Bo~e $5,000 will be
necessary to put the alleys in tip-top shape. The bowling alley recently had the
opportunity to obtain the District Bowling Tourna~ent, which is held under the
auspices of the ABA, but due to the fact that the alleys were not in good shape
this tournament was not held here, but in another city. As you know, the place
is heavily patronized by tourists and also by local people.
Mr. Drulias and his partner are somewhat reluctant to expend this sum of
money inasmuch as they have a lease from the City which will expire in February of
1953. The lease contains a clause whereby, upon sixty days notice, the City may
cancel the lease in the event the property is needed for public purposes. Mr. Drulias
and his partner naturally are extremely hesitant about expendillg any large sum of
money unless they can obtain Borne aSSUI'ance from the City that the bowling alley will
not be taken over without reimbursement to them of moneys expended.
Mr. Druliss suggests that he would be willing to expend the necessary $5,000
to put the alleys in first class Bhape~ provided some agreement could be reached
with the City to protect them against loss of this expenditure. One of the sug-
gestions he has made to me is that he and his partner will be willing to enter
into a new lease ror a five year period with the prOVision that, Should the City
take the premises over within the first year, that they would refund to Mr. Drulias

tetter from Tholnpson & Cooper, Cont 'd.:
$4,OOO~ or, if the City took the premises over within the second year that they would
refund to them the surn o~ $3,000, et cetera, until the lease had run. This 1s
offered as a suggestion, and in the event the City does not aocept this suggestion,
Mr. Dru11as is open to any counter-propositions the City might w~Bh to make.
I am sure tllBt any itnprovements made would provide better recroa t10nal faoili-
ties for our looal citizens and our Winter visitors.
Will you please take this matter up with the Mayor and OOInr'11sl3ioners and inform

Honorable 11ayor aoo Gentlemen of the
City Commission,
Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
In re: Estate of Everingham Lease
As you Gentlemen doubtless lmow, last year tho City of Clearwater granted me
a one year lease for certain considerations which will expire A.ugust 15, 1951. I
would like to at this ti~e ask for an extension or renewal of this lease for a
period of at least one year~ on terms to be negotiated between the Comnission or
its cOD1lJlittee and myself. I would like very lmlch at this time to build a building,
using city spec1~ioations, howeve~, as you know, tho construction of bath houses
is prohibited by governmental regulation, and it is improbable t~t fina~ arrange-
ments oould be worked out at this time.
To rurther state my oase, one of the ter.ms or conditions of the renewal of
the lease would be certain improvements to the property involving a considerable
expense, amount to be detennined later by the committee and myse~f.
I shall be ve~J glad to attend any COlmnittee meeting or cor.mission meeting
wherein this natter is disoussed to which I am invited.
I am awaiting your reply.
CE/hb
Sincerely,
/s/ Charles Everingham

At the recent raeeting of tha �learwater Beach Association held Tuesday,
March 27th, the writer was instructad to address your �oz7mi�sion to the e:Pf'sct
that tha Association heaxtily approved the Co�issionTs plan to use e� bz�;�ah
barrier rather than a solid barris�r along the YYest side of Gulfview Boulevard to
deter sand sweeping off the beach onto the 3oulevard and larvns on the East side
o£ the boulevard, provided, however, the cost of a brush barrier is not pro-
hibited by comparison to the cost of a solid barrier �ror.i the standpoint of
origi.nal installation and maintenance.

Clearwater, Florida.
Dear r4r, Middleton:
hiar�h 26, 1951
Tii3s office represents bfr. Gus Drulias and I�ir, Jamss Aoutouzoa, �ho aperate
the �owling alley on Cleveland Street. nTr. Drulias h�s stated to me that the
alleys are in bad need oP repair ar_d it is astimated that sorse �5,000 wi11 be
necessary to put the alleys in tip-top shape. The bowling alley recently had the
opportunitg to obtain the District Bowling Tournament, which is held under the
auspices of the ABA, but due to the fact that the slleys were not in good shape
thig tournament was not held here, but in another city� As you know, the place
is heavilp patronized b� tourists and also by local peoplee
Mr. llrulias and his partner are somawhat reluctant to expend this sum of
money ina"smuch as they have a lease irom the Cit�* r�hich vrill expire in Februarv of
1953. The lease contains a clause ivhereby, upon sixty days notia�, the Citg may
cancel the lease in the event the propexty is needed for public puri�oses. aTr. Drulies
and his partner naturally are extrremel�r hesitant about expencling any large sum oP
money unless the� can obtain some assurance from tiie Citq that the bowling a1Tey will
not be talsen over vrithout reimbursemen� to them of moneya expended,
Mr. Drulias suggasts that he v�ould be willing to expend the necessary �5,000
bo put the allegs in first class shape, provided some agr�entent could be reaehed
vrith �the City to protect thtim a�ainst loss of this ex�enditure. Ono of the sug-
gestions he has mada to me is that he and his partner will be willin� to ent�r
into a ne-rr lease .for a five year period with the provision that, should the City
take the premises over within tha fir�t year, that they would ref`und to Mr. Drul3as

�p4,p00, or, if the City too�: �!:� preinise� over within the aeoond year that they would
reflznd to them the sum of �p3,000, et cetera, until the lease had run. This 3s
offerad as a su�gestion, and in t12e event �he C3ty cloes not acce)gt this siig�est�.on,
Mr. Drulias is open to any aounter-proposit3ons the City mi�ht �vish to mekd.

Honorable riayor and Gentlemen of the

Clearwater, Florida
Gentlemen:
In re: Estate of Everinghem Leasa
March 30, 195].
As y�ou Gentlamen doubtless lznow, lsst year tha C�ty of Clearvrater granted me
s one year lease for certain considerations which P�ill expire August 15, i951. I
wauld like to at thia tine ask for ar, extension or renewal of this lease for a
period of at least ona yeara on terms to be negotiated Uetwc�en the Corrmiiasion or
its �osr�n3ttee and myself. I would like very much at tYli� time to build a build3ng,
using city s�ecifications, however, as you knaw, tha construction of bath house�
is prohibited by governmental regulation, and it is improbabls that finarZ arrange�
ments could be worked out at this tine.
To flarther state my case, one of the �erms or conditions of the renew�Z of
the lease Nould b� certa�n 3mprov€sments to the property in��olving a considerable
expense, amount to be determined later b� the committes and mysslf.
I s?-iall be ver� glad to attend any �:orunittae raeeting or cormlissior.i meeting
�herein this natter 9.s• discussed to tivhich I em invited.
I am awaitin� your reply.
