". The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Sidney C. Starr of the Band Boosters Club requestin[" that, the City COlllmission donate some funds to help fi nance unif'orms and trans~ortation for the Clearwater Junior and Senior High School bands. The Mayor recommended that some money be appropriated by the City to be turned over to the Chamber of Cornmerce as pRrt of the Fublicity Fund. Several Commissioners went on record as being ol'posed to havin~ organizations come to the City Commissioners for donations after the b~d~et had been set for the fiscal year, and it seemed to be the consensus of opinion that the County School Board should assume more respon- sibili ty for the Inaintenance of the school bonds. r.iembers of' the Band Boosters addressed the Commi ssion e xp la:i ninr~ the need for funds. Comeni ssioner Russell moved that the City Commission donate $3,000.00 to the Clearwater High School for band uniforms and equipment to be given directly by the City, if in accordance with the City Charter, or through the ChRmber of Commerce for the specific distribution to the" Band Boosters, Inc.

The Mayor also recommended that it be changed. The City Attorney asked that any report on the situation be made in executive session of the Commission since the matter was involved in litign.tion at present. The r.~ayor appointed a Committee of Commissioners Blanton, Lynn and himse1.f to investi~ate the situation assisted by the City Attorney, the City Manager and the City Engineer. The City Attorney outlined the procedure nAcessary to enable the new Zoning Act and Map to be voted on at the re~ular City election. He stated it would be necessary for the Commission to have a meeting with the Zoning Board in the near future; then there shou1d be 15 days notice before holding a Public Hearing on the subj0ct. He suggested that the Public Hearing be held at a special meeting on December 8th at which time he would present the Ordinance concerning adoption of the new Zonine Law. It was decided by consent to hold the joint meeting of the Commission and the Zoning Board on Friday evening, November 21st. The City Manager presented the application of the Sun Oil Company to erect a service station at Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and Nimbus Avenue. The City En~ineer reported that he had checked the plans and approved this application as to curb breaks, the location of the pumps in referen~e to the right-of-way and the provi- sions for covering the tanks. Commissioner Blsnton moved that the Sun Oil Company's request for .filling station on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard at the location shown be granted. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Lynn and carried unanimously. The City Manager presented the application o~ Mr. Hugh Gates to erect a service station in the 1200 block of North Fort Harrison.

'....,' ~:~ " j The Acting City I',1anager submit.ted for the Commission's consideration the widening of Haven Street between South Fort H~rrison and South Garden Avenue. Upon being questioned, I~r. Weimer stated that it was the recommendati.on of the City ~anager to widen Haven Street on the north side, leaving a seven foot side- walk and that parking meters be inst.alled. Commissioner Blanton moved that the City Manager's recommendation be accepted and that the Commission authorize this work to be done. Notion \-las seconded by Commissioner Lynn and carried unanimously. The Clerk read a petition from the owners of businesses located on the east side o~ Jouth Fort Harrison Avenue between Cleveland and Park Streets asking that the no parking restriction be removed on that bJock and that parking meters be installed on at least part of the block. The Police Chie~ recommended that the City use the extra bus space on Cleveland Street in front o.f the Coachman Building (given for the East Clearwater bus which is no lon8er running) and the ambulance space to create two or three extra metered spaces f'or cars. After discussion by the Commi ssion, the iJiayor appointed a Cornmi tt ee composed of Commissioners Russell and Lynn to investigate the situation and make recommenda- tions. The Clerk read a letter addressed to the City Manager by Mr. H. Lane Coachman in \"lhich Il'ir. Coachman stated that he was agreeable to the terms .for opening and paving Ewing Avenue as su~~ested by Mr. Blanton whereby the City would pay 1/3 the cost, 1/3 to be paid by the land owners on the west side, 1/3 to be paid by the land owners on the east side of the street and that he would undertake to get the Court's authorization ~or a gi~t of ten feet for right-of-way on each side of the street from the estates and trusts that he represents to provide a: 50 foot right-of-way for Ewing Avenue. Upon being ques- tioned, the City Attorney said it was a matter of policy with the Commission as to whether it desired to open and pave Ewing Avenue. The Cit)r Attorney called attention to the fact that the City is endeavorin8 to secure a rep1at of the Coachman Heights Subdivision which replat, if accepted by the property owners would provide a 50 foot right-o~-way and that services of an agent ~or securi~g right-of-way fronl individual owners would not be necessary. Mr. Blanton said that with the assurance .from the City Attorney that the replattin~ o.f the subdivision is being worked out as expeditiously as possible, ~~.oCoachman should be advised that the City has to proceed with revising Coachman Hei~hts plat as a prerequisite with going ahead with the street improvement. The other members of the Commission concurred with this opinion. ~j~~~jiVi)f:;&;.:;;( ..

The Commission as a whole approved of the action taken. The Mayor recommended that due to the rising cost of living that the City employees be given a 10% across-the-board raise, and stated that he felt it was more than justified and that the anticipated revenue would sustain it. Commissioner Lynn said he thought the employees should be paid more but he felt that the Commission should wait for a report from the City Nanager.

' -5- CITY COMMISSION MEETING November 17, 1952 Commissioner Blanton read the following st~tement: "I have a motion pertaining to the water supply dilemma the City is confronted with, but before I make this motion I want to discuss some of the events upon which the motion is based. First, the County has not at any time ~ubmitted a contract which we as Commissioners could, in ~ood conscience, accept and 5j[~n, or which, in my opinion, would have heen approved by a referendum of t,he citizens of Clearwater. Therefore, the City Commission decided to jnvesti~ate and explore possibil- i ties of developing its own enlarr~er) wnter supply. To thiEi end the Commission authorized the employment of Dr. A. P. Black. (This was done over the objection of Commissioner Lynn. r,1r. Lynn's objection W,'lS hr!sed on the fact that we should employ some other eneineer.j.n view of the fact that Dr. Bl~ck was employed by the County and th8t the two interests mi~ht conflict. This now appears to have been sound reasoning.) Now keep in mind that Dr. Bl~ck WRS employed to make a survey and tests to determine if there WAS an amr1e wnter slIfply to serve ClenrwAter's need, in the ClearvJater :lrea. Dr. Black submi t ted a le n.'!;t hy l'e Fort 1 n a bound volume of sixt.een pa,!es in addition 1':.0 a number of tao18s, ch"1rts, and maps, which report stated the following conclusions: 'B~sed upon all of the above dRt~, and lJfon our combined judgment and experienc~ we Are of the orinion thBt the mRximuln safe yield fro~ this recharge area may be set at approximately ~ million gallons per day. We emphasize, in arriving at thrlt fi ~ure, that it represel',t3 the tot'11 ~mount of ':later available through- out the entire recharge area for ~]l municiral, industrial, and agricultural purposes. We Crill specific at.tention to the fact that not all of it could be recov8red from a single \'lell fielrl wi thin t.he commonly accepted meaning of that term. This Coachman Hi~h is the controlling factor in the ground water picture not only in northern Pinel18s County but southward to St. Petersburg Rnd the economy or the enth'8 co'mty d'~rel'rlS to fl very large degree upon its careful plAnned conservation and US8.' Now, ~entlernen, I c111 ~'our :)ttp.ntio}') to the statement thAt, I quote, "we are of the opinion that the maxim'lm ;jclf8 yield from this rech~rge 81"e8 may be set at arproximately oS million ,'-;8.110n5 !;er d,1Y", ,~lnrl the report cor.tinues, I quote, "We emfhasi ze, in arri vin:; :Jt th'~ t fi,,,;1.l re, th.qt it rerrp.spn t s the total amount of water availAble throl1~hol.lt thfJ ent irf~ r88;Hir,~e area f(1r all municipal, industrial, and C1~ricultural purposes." Tlwy ~onclude with f:,h\-: folJ,)w'ir)~, T i1l0t".e, 'This Coachman Hi,zh is the control- lin~ factor in the ground \v'ltP.}' I ~'t,'lt'l-' not only in r.ortherr. PinellRs County hut southwc'jrd to St. Peter3bu r,~ and t.hl~ '':>('''}r:'\I~:Y of the entire co'mty depends to a very lar~e degree t~pon its carp.f'Jl plr-Il:!"'ed cf)ns~rvation and use." Now, analy~ing this r8ror~, ~h~r0 is anly ~ million gallons a day safely available, and Clearw~ter's neerls h'VA been estim9ted at upward of 5 million gallons fer d.8.Y. 1A}hen you take into eonsider,?ti on t.hp. rapid r;rowth of Clearw:1,ter and surrounding area, with its ev'~r-incre:ising demand for wat~er, and further consider the fact that Dunedin ~ets its water from this same a million gallon source, and that it is likewise tarred for irr'igation and watering purposes by numerous ci trus ermvers, rl3ir~'men and truck ,~rowers throughout the County, it does not take much analyzing to arrive at the alarming fact that this Coachman High water supply is right now mighty close to exhaustion, if Dr. Black's report to the City Commission is correct. Now, I read in a prominent newspaper in this area under date of 'November 7, that the County Commission has instructed A. o. DUl,lap to sink test wells at a location to be r.amed by the Commission's consulting ene;ineers, Dr. A. P. Black and Harold Brilley. It has been unauthoritatively reported that these test wells are to be located in the territory shown on Dr. Black's map, as embraci~g the water supply area mentjoned in the report to the City Commjs~ion. I therefore move, in the event sairl \.:e]ls are started within l~he area referred to in Dr. Black's report, that this Commission immedi~tely enlist the cooperation of the City of Dunedin and citrus ~rowers of the County to join in an injunction sui t a!~ainst such act ivity by the County, and if it is found that the County did act on the advice of Dr. A.

You are well aware, I am sure, that these bands are of great publicity value to our ci ty. The trip to "!ashin~ton last spring to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival proved that. We Band parents are doing our best to finance the bands through c;>eration of the concessions and the parkin~ lot at the football games all money from the parkir.g lot has gone ~o payoff the debt for the clearing of the lot and the roads leading from it. With good luck the end of the season should see that debt paid. The bands receive only a little help from the school board. Two. directors, a practice room and occasionally an instrument is the sum total of their assistance. The bills which the Band Boosters pay are terrific: uniforms (at $~O.OO each), music, instrument repair, music stands, transportation to ~ames and music contests, etc, are a few of the expenses we must regularly meet. We believe that our bands are an important part of our community life. One hundred Senior High and Eighty-five Junior High students are expecting us to meet their need. If you enjoy seeing a smartly uniformed band, playing snappy music marching down our streets, will you help us? Very truly yours, /s/ Sidney C. Starr ~ . h j ';~ '.

At the time this was under discussion by the three of us, it was promised that Mayor Brown would bring this up at the next City CommiSSion meeting. However, I understand this has not been done by reason of the fact the agenda was too full. Inasmuch as the Hotel is going to be opened in three weeks, I wonder if somethin~ could not be done to accelerate the question of taking this building down as, certainly, everyone will a~ree, it is the most unsightly thing ever constructed on Clearwater Beach. Please believe me, I have absolutely no axe to grind in this other than having seen a very damaging thing being done to a very good citizen. Sincerely yours, pfr;m /s/ Paul F.

Middleton City Manager City of Clearwater Clearwater, Florida Dear Mr. Middlet.on: Sorry to have missed you yesterday hut understand you were busy about a very worthy project, - the Marina. Congratulations to you 3nd all of those who had part in the conception and bring- ing to full fruition the Marina. This is a very valu~ble asset to the City, should afford much enjoyment tb its citizens and visitors and I understand has been brought about vlith no expense to the taxpayer. That is really an accomplish- ment and I hope that your citizens do appreciate it. The widening and pavin~ of Ewing Street and the replattin~ of the area between Park Street on the north, Chestnut on the south, Prospect on the west and Greenwood on the east is the subject of this l~tter. The City Commission has authorized the doing of whAtever may be necessary to get the revised plat properly accepted by the property owners and filed. "~";"lv.:,' .;..... I 1 1 j I I . While in your land on which revised plat. ori~inal plat City yesterday I learned that the attorney for the owners of the the Kwiq-Chek SupermRrket is located had asked for a copy of the My copy of that plat shows Ewing Street to be 50 feet wide, - the shows Ewing Street )0 feet wide. ~ 'j '~ , "j " ,. .~ ,~ ';lj I '. . : :~~ In the development of the area I offered on hehalf of the estates and trusts I represent to give 10 additional feet on each side of Ewing Street (wherever we owned it) to the City, provided it would pave, grade and curb free of charge. In other words, on the same conditions that we save the right-or-way for Court Street. Commissioner Blanton was not willing to accept this on behalf of the City but suggested that the street should be 50 feet wide and that the City would accept the 10 additional feet on each side and would ~rade, curb, pave, ~utter, etc.) upon the following terms: The City to pay one-third (1/3) of the cost and one-third (1/3) to be paid by the land owners on the west side and one-third (1/3) to be paid by the land owners on the east side of the street. This proposition is acceptable to me and I will undertake to get the Court's authorization to the gift by the estates Rnd trusts I represent of the additional 10 feet as to any land that is owned by such estates and trusts provided: (I) The City will go promptly ahead now and adopt proper resolution or minutes a~reeing to opening up, pavin~, etc. of Ewing Street during the present fiscal year, - the sooner the better. (2) My offer not to be bindin~ upon those I represent unless the others along Ewing Street will similRrly ~iv~ 10 feet or, in the alternative, that the City condemn the additional 10 feet. In this connection the City has a~reed in writing with me to make a bona fide erfort to open up Pierce Street across the railroad tracks within two years from June 21, 1951. (See Resolution adopted June 27, 1951.) I believe that the basis for the City's asking; for an opening up of Pierce Street across the railroad tracks would be enhanced by the openin',: and paving of Ewing between Park and Court Streets. It was the orinion of the former City Commission that the City would be greatly benefitted by having; Pierce Street as a through street from the Bay to Greenwood, thus furnishin'~ an additional thorough-fAre for those going to and from the beach. " :) 'j The acceptance which Clearwater citizens have given Kwiq-Chek has exceeded ex- pectations and I notice th3t automobiles are now being pArked not only on the parkin!?; area available but on adjoining l..lJ:.paved land. This fact \'1ill not make the Kwiq-Chek owners too happy to ~ive up 10 feet along their property; therefore, an agreement from Kwiq-Chek to give the ~dditional 10 feet and agree to the opening and paving of Ewing should be obtained as early as possible. The improvements which have ~one in along Prospect and Court Streets and ~hich are now contemplated will make a nice addition to the City's and County's taxes and should furnish an additional interest for going through with the balance of the improvements as originally contemplated. Won't you be kind enough to bring this matter to the attention of the Commission. I should be glad to appear before them if the Commissioners desire it.

The i�7ayor recommended that due to the rising cost of livi.ng that the City employees be given a 10� across-the-board raise, and atated that he ielt it was more than justified and that the anticipatefl revenue would sustain it. Commissioner Lynn said he tnought the emplaye,:s should be paid more but he felt that the Coffnnission should �vait for a report from the City 1°�ana;er. The ;�7�_yar suggested tha� the City :�lanager be irtstructed to make a complete report ior the City Commission to take action on or befdre December 1� i95z. _5� CITY COMMISSZOI� MEETING Novemrer 1'7, 195z Commissianer Blanton read the following statement: "'I have a motion pertaining to the water supply dilemma the City is confronted with, but before I make thzg m�tion I want to discuss some of the events upon which the mota,on is based. First, the County has not at any time submitted a contract which vrs as Gommissioners could, in �ood conscience, accept and si�n, or which, in my opinzon, would have been approved by a referendum af the citizens of Clearwater, Tl�erefore� the Citp Commission dEcided to investigate and explore possibil- ities of develo�ing its own enlarged wate.r supply. To this end the Commisszon autharized the trn�loyment of Dr. A. P. B].ack. (This was done over the objection �f Commissioner I�ynn. Mr. LynnTs objection was base�l on the fact i�hat we should employ some ofi�her engineer in view of the fact that Dr. Biar.k was employed by the County and that the ttwo interests mi;ht conflict. This now appears to have been sound reas�ning.) Now keep in mind that Dr. Black was employed to make a survey and tests to deterrnine if there was an ample water su�ply to serve Clearwaterts need, in the Clearvrater area. Dr, Black submittred a len;thy regort in a baund volume of sixteen pa�es in addition to a nwnber of tables, charts, and maps, Frhich report st�ted the follo=rri.ng conclusions: TBased upon all of the above data_, and uron our combined judgment and experienc, w� are o�' tne o�inion that the maximum safe }*ield from this reaharge area may be set at approximately $ million gallons per day. We ernphasize, in arriving at that fi;ure, that it represents �he total amount of rrater a,railable through- out the entire recharge area .for all munici�al, industrial, and aor?c��ltural purposes. We call specific attention to the fact tha� not all of it could be rec:overed frc�m a sin;le well field within the commonly accepted meaning of th�t term. This Coachman Hi;h is the controllin� factor in the �roun� water picture not only in northern Pinell�.s County but southt�rard to St. Petersbvs�g and the economy of the entire co�zr.tf deperds �o a very large de;ree u��n its careful planned conservation and use.t Now, �entlemen, I call �Tour attentior t:o the statement that, I qu,ote, TM�ae are of the opinian that the maximum safe ��.eld irom L-his recharge area may be sst 2t ar�raximately $ million ;allons per day+t, and the report cor_tinuss, I�uote, trt�a emFhasize, in arrivino at that fi�ure, that it re�resents the total amas�nt of water available thrnughout the entire rean�roe ar�a it�r a?1 m�zn�cipal, in�ustrial, and ��ricultural �urposes.t� The;T ronclude with the iollowin�, I quote, 1This Coachr,ran High �.s the contrel- linJ fact�r in the �round w�ter �ictt�re not onlp in r.ortherr. Pinellas Count;* rut so��thward to St. Fetersbur� and the eco!?ot?mJ of the entire co��nty dspends to a very lar�e degree L�on its carsful plar.r.ed consPrvation and use." Noti•r, analyzir.o this rsport, ,here is only ?� million gallcn� � da,r safely available, and Cleaz�watert� ne2ds h�ve been e�timated �t upward o� 5 million gallons Fer day. ;;'herl you take into consideratiar_ the rapid drow':.h of C1ear�aater and surr�un�in� area, with its ever-increas�r_g demand for water, and �`urther consider the fact that Dunedin ;;ets its water from this same $ m;llicn gallon saur�e, and that it is likewise tapped for irrigatian and watering purposes by numerous citrus grotiaers, dair;�men and truck 7rowzr� throughout the County, it does not taice much analyzing to arrive at �he alarming faet that this Coachman High water suppl;r is rzght now mighty close to exhaustion, if Dr. Blackts report to the Citg Commission is correct. Now, I read in a prominent newspaper in this area under date of November 7, that the County Couimission has instructed A. 0. Dunlap to sink test wells �t a location to be ramed by the Gorumission's consulting engineers, Dr. A. P. Black and Harold Brilley. It has been unau�horitatively regorted that these test wells are to be located in the territory shown on Dr. RlackTs map, as embracir.; the water s�pply area menti oned in the reFort to th�2 Cit}� Co�nmi s�ion, I therefore mave, in the event sai�3 t�;ells az•e st3rted within the area referred �a in Dr. Black�s report, that this C�mmission immedi3tely eniist the cooperation o�' the Cit}* of Dunec�in and citrus mrcar�ers of the County to join in an injuriction sixit a�ainst such activitq by th� Covnty, and if it is found �hat the County did �ct on the advice of l�r. !�. F. Black in drilling =n sazd ar�a, then the Citp instituta proper proce�dings to recc,ver the �2,G00 fee paid Dr. Elack for his report,rT ��Iotion was seconded by Gommissioner Lyr.n and carried unanimously. The I"�ayor re��orted that b1r. .�liddleton is havin� the :aater tested fram a well in t;he northeast section of �lnarwater and he recomraended that the Co�mission t�rithhald hiring anotker water expert until he receives a cemp3�ete reFort of this well which will be within the next ten days.

The following bein� proxerty owners on said stre�t between tnese boundaries, respectfully petition the City Commissioners to proceed with the above improvements at the earlies� possible time. It is understood that Jupi�er Ave. will be regraded and resurfaced between the above mentioned boundaries and the street curbed with a straight curb of su�'ficient hei;ht, and that the street be regr�ded so as to eliminate sur£ace water from standin� thereon, It is understood that the street width ugon complEtion will t;a thirty ieet from curb to curb, and that fillint; and leveling will be done behind the curb at th.e same time. Estimated cost to propercp owners will be approximately �2.00 to �2.10 per lineal foot facing Jupiter A�renue. Signed by twenty�-na.ne persone Dear Mr. Pdayor: As elected representative of the Clearwater Junior-Senior High School Band Boosters, I urgently request that you consider the r�eeds of our Bands and do whatever you can to secure a donation from the City of Clearwater to aid us in our tremendous job of financing these bands. You are well aware, I am sure, that these bands are of great publicity value to our city. The trip to UTashington last sprir.g to partiaigate in the Cherry Blossom Festival proved that. Wa B�~' parents are doing our best to finance the bands through operation oi the concesa..ons and the parkint� lot at the football games all money from the parkir_; lot has gone �:o pay off the debt £or the clearing oi the lot and the roads leadin� from it. Wit.h good luck the end o.f the season should see that debt paid. The bands receive only a little help from the school board. Two directors, a practice room and occasionally an instrument is the sum total of their assistance. The bi11s which the Band Baosters pay are terrifier uniforms (at �`l��000 each), music, irstrument repair, music stands, transportatian to games and music contests, etc, are a few of tne expenses we must re�ularly meet. We believe that our bands are an important part oi our community life. One hundred Senior High and Eighty-five Juninr High students are expecting us to meet their need. If you enjoy seeing a smartly unifor:ned band, playir,g snappy music marchin� down our streets, will you nelp us? Very truly yotu^s, /s/ Sidney C. Starr Commissioner Herb�rt Blanton, Clearwater, Florida Dear Herber�: november 13, 19�2 Reference is made to the disoussion between ;�ayor Brown, yourself and me re�ardin�; the very unsi.ghtly building which was placed over the sidewalk in front of The Cleart�ater Beach Hotel, commonly known as the house. At the time th?s was under discussion b; tne three of us, it «ras prornised that NIayor Brown would bring this up at bhe next City Comraission meeting. However, I understand this has not been do:�e by reason of the fact the agenda was too full, Inasmuch as the Hoi.el is going to be opened in three weeks, I wonder if somethin, could not be done to accelerate the question of taking this buildino down as, certair_ly, everyone t��ill agree, it is tha most unsightly thing ever constructed on Clearwater Beach. Please believe me, I have absolutely no axe to grind in this other than havin� seen a very damaging thing bein� done to a very good citizen. Sincerely yours, pfr;m fs% Paul F. Randolph PETITTON We, the undersigned, business operators on the east side of Ft. Harrison Avenue, between Cleveland and Park Streets, respectfully petition the Honorable Mayor and Cit3• Cor.�mission of the City of Clear�aater as foll�ws: To install parking meters on the east side of Ft. Harrison Avenue in the block afor8said for the convenience of our custamers and the general public. We feel that at least a portion of this block should be left for parking and we have had many requests from the public to see that this is done. Either 12 minute or 60 mir_ute parking meters, at the descretion of the Traffic Committee would suit our needs. Respectfully submitted, Sioned by five persons `\ 9 CITY C�2MTSSION MEETTNG November 1�, 1952 Hon. Francis C, Middlei;on Ci�y Manager City of Clearwater Glearwater, Florida Dear i�Ir. i�liddleton: November 7, 1952 Sorry to have missed you yesterday but understand you were busy aboub a very worthv project, - the Marina. Con�ratulat�ons to you and all of those who had part in the conception and bring- ing to full fruition the b?arina. This is a very valuable asset to the City, should afi'ord much enjoyment to its citizens and visitors and I understand has been brought about with no expense to the taxpayer, That is really an accomplish- ment �nd I hope that your citizens do apgreciat2 it. The widenin� and paving o£ Ewing Street and the replatting of the area between Park Street on the north, Chestnut on the south, Prospect on the west and Greenwood on the east is the subject of this letter. The City Commission has authorized the doing of whatever may be necessary to oet the revised plat properlp accepted. by the Froperty o�aners and £i1ed, _ While in your Gity yesterday I l�arned that the attorney for the ojmers of the land on �,rhich the Kwiq-Chek Supermarket is located had asked for a copy of the revised plat. My copy of that plat shows Ewing Strest to be 50 feet wide, - the ori�inal plat show� �wing Street 30 feet wide. In the development of �he area I offered on behalf of the estates and trusts I represent to give 10 additional feet on each side of Ewing Street (wheraver we ovmed it) to the Ci�y, provided it would pave, grade and curb free of charge. In other words, on the same conditions that we gave the right-of-way for Court Street. Commissioner Blanton was not willing to accept this on behalf of the City but suggested that the street should be 50 feet wide and that the City wauld accept the 10 additiona� ieet on each side and would ;rade, curb, pave, ;utter, etc., npon the following terms: The City to pay one-third (1/3) of the cost and one-third (1/3) to be paid by the land owners on the west side and one-third (1/3) to be paid by the land uwners on the east side of the street. This proposition is acceptable t� me and I will under�ake to get the �ourt's authorization to the gift by the estates and trusts I represent of the additional 10 feet as to any land that is owned by su�h estates and trusts provided: {1) Tne City vaill oo promptly ahead now and adopt proper resolution or minutes a�reeing to opening up, paving, etc, of Ewing Street during the present fiscal gear, - the sooner the better. (2) My offer not Go be binding upon those I represent unless the others along Ewing Street will similarly Qive 10 feet or, in the alternative, that the Gity condzmn the additional 1Q feet. In this connection the City has agraed in writing wiLh me to make a bona fide effort to open up Pierce Stree� across the railroad tracks within two years from June 21, 1951. {See Resolution adopted June 27: 1951.) I believe that the basis for the CityTs asking for an openin� up of Pierce Street across the railroad tracks would be enhanced by the openin; and paving nf Ewing between Park and Court Streets. It was the oFinion of the former City Commission that the City would be �reatly benefitt�d by having Pierce Street as a through street from the Bay to Greenwood, thus furnishin; an additional thorau�h-fare for those goin� to and frorn the beach. The acceptance which Clearwater citizens have aiven Kwiq-Chek has exceeded ex- pectations and I notice that automob�les are now being pa.rked not only on the parking area available hut on adjoinirig ur_pavEd land. This fact tvill not tLake the Kwi�-Chek owners too happv to give up 10 feet along their propert�r; therefore, an agreement frpm Kwiq-Ghek to �ive the additional 10 feet and agree to the opening an@ paving of Eti,ring should be obtained as early as possible. The improvem2nts which have ;ane in along Prospscl; and Caurt Streets and which are noFr contemplated vrill make a nice addition to ti;e City's and Gounty's taxes and should furnish an additional interest for going through with the balance of the im�rovements as originally contemplated. Won't you be kind enough to bring this matter to the attention of the Commission. I should be glad to appear bei'ore them if the Commissioners desire it. :iLG : wbh cc; Mayor Herbert Brown Commissioner Herbert Blanton City Attorney Charles Phillips Respect#'�ally, /s/ H.
