My� dear �1r, Hendrix:
As rEquested h�' tY�e ��'iayor at -the last C:it+,� Commission
NIeetin�, the subjec�G oP zindin� suiiab=e quarters for the
operations oi'.the Glearv�ater Districti .o� the �ed Crass has
bean. investi�ated.
T�e �piscopal-and Presbyteriax� Churehes have of�ered
space, but in neither case vaere tiie conditions essential
ior operation found �co �e suitabl�. It m�y be �ossible
-�ta transf�r the Surgical Dressin�s Unit to the Presbyterian
Church later, after certain alte.rations have been-nade.-
• No s�ace suitable for the Fiome IQunsin� Pro�ram has
been fo und, as t�is v��ork requires the installati on of a
minimun 3i t�vo beds, and complete sicl� roo� accessaries,
together �aith class room space.
The Productian Program has not been considered, ai=-
thaugh the unsatis�sctary condition u�der v�hich the iaith-
ful and loval volunte�r workers carry on in the Sewing
, Room is very bad.
Due to �Ghe objectiori of a group led b,r Georger L.
DeP�ierritte, 1tTiss Pilaxy Southarcl, 1Irs S. ilikolofi, IvIr. �Tacobs,
f�Ir. Erneu�t IvicEneany, ancl t�ir. Robert Ifinibrou�h, to the G�:ty
loaning a Uuildin� in the Gity tar� to the Red Gross, the
Up�er Pinellas Cha��er requests that na further aetion be
taAen tn t�is matter, whi�:� such abjections re�ain,
The local �ecl Cross will not be able ta earry out
to the best aclvanta�;e the obligations impaseci aii it by the
Defense Pr��rarn, unless adequate spaee for aperation is
available: Iio�vever, i�a �b'taininb this space the Red Oross
does not desir� te impose any hardship on �ny individu�l.
It is re�uested that this decision be brought to the
a�tent5.br� 7��r.the P+3ayar and the :Gity Cunuiis�ion, w�:tb, an
expr�ssion oi' tlianks from the Chapter for your kindness
