City bI�ager � ' '
Clearwater, �'lorida
Dear Sir:-
?:Te, the undersi�ned, own property at Clearwr�ter Beach
imc�ediatelit east of and frantin� on Gulf View ?3oulevard. The
• pxoperty immediately west of n.s and frantin� on the gul� is owned
by the City. . -
4re respectfull;� request that the City erect a sea-v�rall
on the west �ide of Gulf View Boulevard in orQer to protect the '
street in frosit oi ,our properties. 1Te do +�ot expe�t -the City
to erect an expensive 4J8Ily as vve l�now the City's rinances are .
limited. 11Te have been advised thst a cypress sea-wall that will
serve the-purpose ean ioe �rected at a cost o� about �2,00 .per
. front foot. ,
Untess a wall of tr�is t�ind is exected, anotrer st�r�t
like the recent oile will very probably under.nine the.street and
cause dama�e that will'f�r exc�ed the cost of a g�c�tective �vall.
Therefore we feel that any raoney the City may spend in erectin6
a wall wi11 be money tivell sgent �s it may prevent a much lsr�er
e$penditure in the future.
The City has heretiofore attempted to protect the street
by placin� broken rocY on its west side. 1;iLi1� t�is may afford
sane protection, it.alsa seriousl� interferes with the use of
the beach since bat�ers and otn�rs use the beach and n,��,urally
do not like to walli over broken rocrs. t;Te feel that a sea-v:all
as above suggested vaould �e a much better solution of the probleni.
1'de will appreci�te it i� 3Tou tvill give this matter your serious
consideration and bri�g this letter to attention c:y .he Citg
Commission at your first opportunity.

tion and signed by the P�esident and Secret�ry, ''"essrs. �ana2ry ancl
Pusviancs. ks you know, we have all been very busy in. connection wzth thQ
activity that has�reauired ne�rTy all of our attention and this partially
axpl.ains tvh�r I have nat been ai�le to answer your letter 'sooner. 1'Je v�anted
to give �he request our best though� and attention. 1t is our gurpose, of
course, to conply v�ith any reasonable wish.and request oi the (3itizens of
Clearr�ater :vnich, of• caurse, tivou�d iriclude the Clearwr�ter IvIeschants
Association. The people of ��leartvater have at al1 times been reasona�le
and our aGsociat�:ans witL them has been pleasant, Z'Je obtain froni Clear-
water a large amount of traific, freight and passenger, and the revenue
invol�ed is most attractive to the l�tlantic Coast Line Railroad. I'or
the reason:s just mentioned, any 'request raan�; on us �y the people of '
Clearwater will rec�ive very caxeful consideration, amd the re�uest re-
ferred to'`zn the papers received with �our letter o� February �. was ;given
careful cousider�t�ion. �"1e have just corlpleted tr?e imnrovemen�s ozi our
passenger station gr�unds et the Ciearwater �tation which'were brought
sbout at considerable expense. Hendrix Street �vould intersect the passenger
st�tion grounds and intersect several of our'yard tracks which wrould•
ma �erially hamper aur traiti �,�eration at Clearvaat�r. The opening: of the
street would also.create an additional hazard, and, after careful con-
sideration, it is necessary that_I advise you that tae c�nnot agree to
o�enin6 oi' Hendrix Street over our propertg, _'
lde are always glad tio receive corar,lunications �or any �u�gestions
from our patrons, and yve �jill always �i:v� careful consideratzon ta these
