CommiRsioner Herbert tJ1. Blanton re8d the ~ollo'''ling statement:
"There is always a feeline of satisfaction for services rendered, and especially
so if those services result in Accomplishment.
There has been much accomplished during the past two years. It has been a
genuine ple;3sure to work with Mayor Brown And 'the Commissioners of 1951 and 1952.
I have had the honnr to serve as chairmAn of a number of committees on various
improvements and I want to say that I-layor Brown has a1 ways been most cooperative
and has worked with these committees for the pro~ress of our city, with the result
that h1s administration will go down in history as one of the most progressive in
the City's existence.
Much credi t is also due City rv'Ianager ~liddleton, on whose shoulders the
administrative responsibility of operating the city rest.
I had a part in changing Clearwater's form of govel'nment. from the old
aldermanic type to the present commission-manager form, and have had an opportunity
to observe the activities of the several city managers who have served, and I want
to state that the city has never had a more ef~icient, conscientious and hard-
working manager than r.1r. r~iddleton.
Much has been accomplished of lasting benefit, the value of which has not as
yet been fully recognized, but will become more evident through the passing of the
years.
Some projects that will be of great VAlue to Clearwater And are imperative to
its orderly growth and pro~ress had their inception in, and went through their
planning and preliminary engineering phase, during the administration now drawing
to a close.
One such project that is o~ vital irnporcance, and especially to the merchants
and the downtown business area, is the extensi.on of Myrtle Avenue north and south
along the route surveyed by the State Highway Department and City Engineer. This
will enable trafric to flow smoothly into the do~ntown shopping center with less
congestion. The State has aBreed to do the job ir the city will secure additional
right-o~-way needed, part of which has been authorized by the present commission.
The citizens of Clearw~ter ~re to be congratul8ted for returning Mr. Brown
to office so he can carry these planned projects through to completion, and like-
wise ~or having elected two such fine, active and progressive ci~izens to serve
on the commission ror the two ensuing years.
Be~ore retiring, I want to stress the importance of three legislative projects
that I believe will be of great value to Clearwater and its citizens:
First, that legislation be sou~ht to provide compensation for the Mayor and
Commissioners. Clearwater has ~rown to the size that it is unfair and unreasonable
to expect competent men to serve without some remuneration. To do the job right
takes a great deal o~ time and ability.
Second, legislation should be sought to provide a method o~ changing zone
classification without the entire zoning act having to be repealed ann re-enacted.
St. PeterSburg's zoning act could be studied profitably.
Third, legislation should be SOllP.h~ to enable the City to pay for paving and
Widening streets deemed to be of great bene~it to the general public, out of pro-
portion to the benefit to b~ derived to the abutting property owner.
And last, but by no means least, I believe Clearwater should develop its own
permanent water system sufricient to supply the present and future needs ~or this
rapidly growing city.
I know, Mayor Brown, that this water matter has laid heavy on your heart and
you have given it a lot o~ thought. I, therefore, sincerely hope you will have
the satisfaction or seeing this accomplished during your tenure as Mayor."

In re: 322' (2-29-15) on Highland Avenue; property of Myrtle Eloise White
Melville, Tampa; and 308' (2-29-15) on Highland Avenue; property of
Ralph W. White, Bradenton.
Dear Sirs:
The above non-resident property owners have authorized me to present to the
Commission a proposal for the settlement of a paving assessment lien and delin-
quent taxes now standing against the above property; which adjoin on their north
and south boundaries to form one tract.
The owners respectfully ask that the Commission consider the fact that they
have contributed to the right-of-\.,ray on Highland Avenue a strip of land 30' wide
by 630'; which is a highly valuable consideration; they have made no demands upon
the City for any municipal services, the property having lain well beyond the City
limits for many years; and, such improvements to the property as may be contemplated,
would have to be made at current cost levels. .
In consideration of the above. therefore, the owners have authorized me to make
an offer for the immediate settlement. as follows:
To pay delinquent taxes
To settle paving assessment
$ 234.87
1,000.00
l 1,234.87
In behalf of my clients, the writer would greatly appreciate an early decision
by the City Commission in this matter.

:\
Dear Mr. Middleton:
We represent Mr. Hichard Ott and his mother Mrs. Eleanor K. Ott, who own the
following described property:
Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Block 44-A Mandalay Subdivision, according to the
map or plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book 14, pages 32-35 inclllsive
of the public records or Pinellas County, Florida.
Reference to the plat of this subdivision will disclose the :fact that the
property in ~uestion is completely surrounded by a fifteen ~oot alley-way. The
property was originally plAtted, alon~ with the lots on Kipling Plaza as a business
section intended to be serviced by resort to the alley-way mentioned. As you know,
development of the property has been such so that it now appears there will be no
further thought of business dev~lopment in the block.
It is the wish of our clients to secure the vacating of this alley-way by the
City, bec..Juse of the circumstances outlined. The retaining of the alley-way would
serve no use~ul purpose, and while it is in exist~nce, the property owners do not
feel that they should beautify the l~nd and shrubbery.
We have conferred with John Batstone, H. W. Shepard, Hugh Oakley, David
Perkins, Sr. and Alfred Blaeser, who are owners of all the adjoining property.
We have been authorized to state that all of these individuals are in accord with
the request of our clients.
It is requested that this matter be brou~ht to the attention of the City
Commission for appropriate action.

The i�tayor called the meeting to order. The invocation was delivered by the
R�verend Robert Coleman of the FirsL Christian Church, Clearwater. Tns ilayor
ar�n�unced that City Att;oxney Charles I�i, Phillips could n4t be present at th�e meeting
and suggested that a motion be made appoirting Mr. Bez� Krentzman as Acting City
Attorney. Commissioner Crown moved that Mr�, Krentzman be appointed Actin� C�,ty
Attorney for this meeting. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Russell and carried
unanimously.
The Acting City Attorney administered the Oath �f �ffice to H2rbert rd, Brown
as Mayor-Cornmissioner ar�d then to j;r, E, Strang9 Jr., and John �1. Bates as
Commissioners.
Commissioner Herbert M. Blanton read the following statement:
'TThere is always a feelin� of satisfactior for services rend�red, and especially
sa if those services result in 8CC6C17.jJ�1SYlIA@1'1t.
There h.as been much accomplished durin� the past two years. It has been a
genuine pleasure to vrnrk with NIayor Brown and the Commisszoners of 1951 and 1952.
I have had the honor to serve as chairman o� a number of cammittee� on various
improvements and I want to say that tTayor Brqwn has a�ways been mest cooperativs
and has worked with these committees for the progress of our city, with the result
that his administration wi11 ga dotm in history as one of the most progressive in
the Cityts existence.
ri7uch credit is also due Czty nTana.ger i�iiddleton, on whose shaulders the
administrative responsi�ility of operating the ci�y rest.
I had a part in changir_g Clearwater�s form of �overnment �'rom the old
aldermanic type to the prasent commission�-manager iorm, ard have had �n opportunity
tp observa the activities of the several city managers who have seived' and I want
to state that �he cit}� has never had a more eiiicient, cans�ientious ar_d hard-
working marager �,han Mr, �iaal�ton.
Much has been accomplished of lasting Uenefit, the value oa which has not as
ye� been fullq recognized, but will become more evident through the passing of the
years.
Some projects that wi11 be of �reat value to Clearwater and are imperati:ve to
ita orderly growth and pragress had their inceptian in, anci went through the�r '
planning and preliminary engineer�_ng phase, duz•ing the administration now dravrinQ
to a close,
One such prpject that is pf aita.l importance, and especial,ly to the merchants
and the downtowVi business area, is the extsnsion nf Mprtle Avenue nor�h and s�u�h
along the rbute surveyed by the State Highway Department and City Engzneer. Thi�
wi11 enaY�le traific to flow �:,^„ooth3y into the downtown shopping center with less
congestion. The State has ag�eed to do th� job if the city will secure additional
right-of-way needed, part af whiGh has been auLhorized by the present commissinn.
The citizer_s of Clearw�ter are to be congratul�ted far returning Mr, Brawn
to ofiice so he can carry these planned prqjeets through to comgl.etion; and like-
wise far hav'ing elected two such fine, active and progressive ci�izens ta serve
an the commissian for the two ensuin; years.
Bef�re retiring, I want to stress �he importar_ce o� three legislative projects
that I beli.eve will be of great value to Clearvrater and its citizens:
First, that legislation be sought to provide Gompensatian for the Mayor and
Commissioners, Clearwater has ?rown to th e size that it is un�air and unreasonaole
to expect competent men to serve without some remuneration. Tc, do the jcb right
takes a great deal of time ar�d ability.
Second, legislation should be souoht to grovide a method of changir�g zo:�e
classi�ication withou� ths entire zoning act havin� to be repealed and re-enacted.
St, Pe•tersburgts zoning act c�uld be studied profitably.
Third, legislation should be sou�ht to enable the City to pay for paving and
widening streets deemed to be of great benefit to the ;eneral puhla.c, out of pro�
portion to the benefa.t to be derived to the abutting property owner,
And last, but by na me�ns leastj I believe Clearwater should develc+p its own
permanent water system sufficient to sup�ly the present an d future needs for this
rapidly growino cit}7.
I know, Mayor Brozm, that this water matter has laid heavy on your heart and
you have given it a lot of thought. I, therefore, szncerely hope you wi1.1 have
the satisiaction of seeing this accomFlished during your tenure as Mayor,"

have contributed to the right-of�:aay on Highland Avenue a s�rip of l�nd 30► wide

tne City for any municipaZ services, the property having lain well beyond the Gity
