Gent1emen: Concerning that portion of Laura street whioh you propose to open and pave from Myrtle Avenue to Booth Avenue. we hope that this may be presently postponed. We feel t~t the necessary cost of the grading,paving and drainage would involve a sum of money substantially dis-proportionate to the amount of good accruing to the City as result of the improvement. The portion o~ Laura Street from Greenwood Avenue to Booth Avenue that is along the South side ot the publio school is rarely now available to publio use, especially during sohool hours and when it is available it is just a one way street beoause the Bchool has veI7 properly used lts permission to barrioade the street along the high sohool for the past two or three years. To open the remaining por- tion ot that street through to Myrtle would inoreaae the hazard at one of the most dangerous spots, namely the Bchool grounds and the Westerly end orosses one rail- road and ends in another, thus giving two additional extraordinary hazards. West of Booth Avenue Grove Street continues open and in use to Myrtle Avenue and an alley in between Myrtle and Booth opens into Grove. That alley con- tinues South from Grove. although not fornall, declared or dedicated, is in aotual use to Cleveland. In fact there are two such passageways North and South between Booth and Myrtle practioally paralleling those two streets. They are just dirt roads but they are passable and seem presently sufficient. It semns highly pro- bable that we are now at the peak of high costs of supplies and materials for this form of ~provement. At the time the City sold the McMullen property to us in 1939 and reserved a right of way for Laura Street the greater portion of the property sold was under water almost all the tnle and the entire vioinity was an unsightly mosquito bog and general unhealthful liability to the City and its progress and the City'a tax revenue on it was nothing. By the expenditure of more than $20.000.00 in fill work, grading and paving of the property we have changed that condition so that it 1s now a definite asset to the entire surrounding area and brings to the City a very substantial annual tax revenue. OWners of adjaoent properties have also been thereby enoouraged to make substantial additional ~provements which have meant, of course, an increase in the City's annual tax revenue. Praotically every cent of our profit we have earned 1n Clearwater. plus a substantial portion of our anticipated future earnings has been put into these bnprovements of our Clearwater property, which ~provements, of oourse, now Show up in inoreased assessment and tax revenues to the City. We have other develop- ments planned which we hope to put through within the next twelve or fifteen months and if this Laura Street proposed improvement should go through now it would definitely handicap us in that development. If the owners of the property facing Laura Street East of Prospect Avenue want Laura Street paved in front of their property, we offer no objection to it so far as we are personally oonoerned if the abuttirAg property owners want i't done. (Although we would still be very doubtful whether the benefits warrant the expense.) We feel that having developed this property thus far and having oom- mitted ourselves to plan to put back into it everything we make out of it, which, of course, must indirectly profit the City, that the Commissioners wouldn't want to hurt us but rather to be cooperative, as we have always tried to be with the City. We. therefore, respectfully request and hope that you maYI 1. Defer the entire matter for at least twelve or fifteen months. or, 2. Let the West end of the new paving ~top at Prospect so that it will not affect our property. Incidentally, we reassure you that if either of these suggestions is followed by the Commission, we stand ready to continue our 100% oooperation with you in the completing of the Myrtle Avenue project as planned among yourselves, us and 'the Lames.

Gentlemon: A4�� 14, 1y51 Concern3n� that portion of Laura Street which you pro���se to open and pa�ve Prom My'rtle Avenue to Booth Avenue, v�e hope thr�t thia n�ay be presently postponed. We feel thst the neeessarp oost oP the grading,paving and drainage would involve a aum of money subatan�ially dis-proportionate to the amount of good aecruing to the City as �^esult oP the improvement. The portion of Taura Street from Greentirood Avenue to Booth Avernze that is a�ong the South side of the public achool is rarely now available to public use, eapacially during school hours and when it is available it ig just a ane way atreet baca�.se the gchool has ves�y properly uaed 3.ts permission to barricade the street along tYie high scYiool for the past traro or three years e To open the remaining por- t3.on o£ that atreet throu�h t� Nyrtle would increase the hazard at one of the most dangerous apota, namely the school grounda and the Vltesterly and crosaes one rail- road end ends in another, thug giving two additional extraordinary ha�ardas Weat o�' Booth 4venue Grove Street continues open and in use to Myrtle Avenue and an a7.ley in betweer, Myr�1e and Booth opens into �rove. 'PYsat allay con- tinues South Prom Grove, although no� Pormall� dealared or dedicated, is in actual uae to Cleveland. In fact there are trro such passageway9 North and South between Bnoth and 'Niyrtle practically gar&lleling those two streets. They are just dir� roada but they are paesable and seom presently sufficient. It seems highly pro- babZa that e�e are now at the geak of high costs of supplie� and materials for thia form �i improvement. At the time the City aold the Mc�fullen tiroperty to ua in 1939 and resarved a right of way for Iaura Street the greater portion of the propertg sold �as under vrater almost all the time and the entire vicinity was an unsightly mosquito bog and general unhealthful liability to the City and its progress and the Cit��a tax revenue on it was nothing. By the expenditure oP more than �20,000.00 in fill work, grading and paving of the property we ha ve changed that condition s o that it 3s now� a d.eiinite a�set ta the entire surrot�s�ding erea and brings to the Cit� a very subatantial annual tax revenue. Owners of ad�soent propertias heve also been thereby encouraged to make substan�ial addition�l 3mprovements which have meant, of course, an increase in the City�s annual tax revenue. Practica114 every cent of our proPit we have earned in Cleax�a�ater, plus � aubstantial portion of our anticipated iizture earnixigs hae been put into these improvements af our Clearwater properiy, which improvements, oP course, r.ow show up in ii�creased asseasmenb and tax revernie� �o the Gity. 4Ve hava other devalop- ments planned which we hope ta put thraugh within the next tirrelve or fifteen months and ii this Iaura Straet proposed improvement should ga trrough now it would definitaly handicap ua in that davelops.nent. If the owners of the property facing Laura Straet East of Prospect Avenus want I,aura Street pavad in front of the3r property, we offer no objection to it a.Q far as we are personally concerned if the abutting propertg awners want �t done. (Although we would still be very doubtful whether tha benefits warrant the expense.) We feel that having detTeloped this property thus far and 'naving com- mitted ourselves to plan ta put back intu it ever4thing we make out oi it, which, of course, must indirectly profit the Gity, that the Comnissioners wouldntt want to hurt us but rather to be cooperative, as we have always tried to be with the City. We, therefore, respectfully request and hope that you ma�: 1. Defer the entira mattar for at least twelve or f3fteen months, or, 2. Le� the 1Ye3t �nd of tho new paving stop at Prospact so thrat it will not affect our property. Incidantally�, wa re&ssure y-ou that if aither of thesa suggestians is £aZlo�ved by the Covnnission, tive stand ready to continue our I0� cooperation mith you in the completing of the Myrtle Avenue projecfi as planned among yourselvss, us and tha I��nea.
