City Hall
Clearwater, Fla.
Dear Sir:
The American Legion is planning to sponsor the Mills Bros. Circus, in the
City of Clearwater on Nov. 2, 1953.
I have secured all of the necessary ordinances from the chief of police and
can honestly state that they will be complied with to the fullest degree.
I would like at this time to ask for cooperation of the City Commission,
your office, and license bureau, to permit us to have this show on the adjoining
property to Green Field and to void the necessary licensing in order that our
child welfare fund and activities might profit from this undertaking.
I can assure you that this show has never been equa1ud in the City of
Clearwater, in that it is the no. #2 show in the country. There are no indecent
acts and no showing on Sundays.
If there is anyway that we, the American Legion can cooperate with you, by
taking clowns or associated acts to any hospitals or orphanages on Sunday, Nov. 1,
we would be glad to make the necessary arrangements.
Hoping that the city officials will meet ~ith approval of our plans. I
remain.
/s/ Thomas J. Borchers
1st Vice Commander

child welfare fund and activitie�.� mi�;ht proizt from this undertaking.
I caii assure you that this show has never been equaled in the Oity of
Clearwater, in that it is the no. #2 show in the country. There are no indecent
acts and. no showing on Sundays.
If there zs anyway that we, the American Legion can cooperate with pou, bg
taking clowns or associated acts �o any hospitals or orphanages on Sunday, Nov. l,
we would be glad tc� make the r.ecessary arrangements.
Hoping that the city offacials will meet with approval of our plans, I
remain.
