Mr� J. E� Satterf�.eld, ,
C3.ty A�.d3tor � Clgrk,
c�.��.
Some time ago tk�e C�mrrsi�tee appointed i� reva�uate the
City�s ph�sical assetts submi.tted 3ts report. U�on �y suggastion�
'the accep�ance af the repor� was withhe7:� gending t'�s sdd�.t3,on
to t�e re�ort of �he assets of tne radio s�atione
At �he Comm�ssion meetin� last nig�t, a latter s3aned by
�'amgs R,Dyer, as Auditory dated Ju�e 8th,� 1�34� �auggested the
new evalua�3.ons to be p�at upon �he City�s assets` A1t}aaugh
this letter bore da.te twelve dr�ys pr:.Lor to tbe meetin�, i� vaas
the first t3.me i:h�i it had co.ne to my attention. I therefore
vuas una.ble tQ intelligantZy cast mg vote wi.th refersnce to
whe��:or or no� the progase�d eval.uation.s an.d entir� recammendations
a�' the auditar should b� aecepted� I theref'c�re reservo mg vote
un-tiZ I shoulc7, become imforzned.
. I no�v find that on April 2�rd, 1934,, �hat an 3.nventc►ry o�' the !
assets af the radio atation$ signed by Wa1�ts� �isori, an empioye
of' the l�ad3o st�tiUns was f3.1ed with tk�.e Ci ty, PresumabZg as a
• basis for the new evalua�3on. I fira.d e.ttached �� tka3.� r�port
two etatements, one in �he amount o� �p340�.�0 for rad3o adver-
�ising used in. the interest o� the Gas Departme�.t on YYFIaA.o
�'he ot�iar is in the amo�nt of �387�000 ior materials VYrL� 'has -:
turned qner to tk�e Cii;y ta be �:�sed ans� charged aPf of the s�ad�o
3.n.vss�men't. I do na� find that �he amounts• �nvQlved �.n ei.ther
af �chese statemea��s has been deprecaated in the sams �rop�axtion •.
with the City'a expenditure o� �115,446.G3 has been r�duce�i in
the present set-up of �¢19,943.00 If tk�i� prc�portion we�e rstained,
these twa s�tatements wouZa be raduceei to a cr�d�t allowan.ce
of �12`70.00
3�'urther i'3.nc1 th�t as a ma�ex�ial basis for �he evaluation of
tha raaio s�a�ior� tlhat 3t w;oulcl ba ne�essar� to �s�e�*mine t�.e

I am confused as to whether or not, �ayment of �he �3400 and
�38'�0 is axpected of ti�e Cityo
I am i''urthsr cor��'used as to w�g crsdit should be allowed
t o�he radi o stati on f or �2, OO� f or � bui�.d.ing in the Citg Park, ;
when the C�t�ps records dis�los� the fact th�� �the �ity gaid '
f ox� the improvements �o �he bu3l.ding and ther� is no conceivable
enh�ncem�nt in the value �� the pr�perty turned bacl� simpl�
because it was once uaeci by the radi� �tatione
�'urth�r 3tems a�pearin� can �he s�atem9nt of Apx il 25th incZ�z�.e
t�o pianos and a sound sys�G��e ane o� the pianos is listed a�
�8�0. I as sume �hat it waa, new, or eZse th�t th� deJ,reciation
was taken into c�nsidera�ion g;i� this priee. The same .�asump�ion
appl3:es v�ith reference �o th� purch$se af the piano at �400.
�Pk�.ese tT,v4 � tems are b�;ll�d prior ta January Zs�, 1934. An 3tem
oP April� 1934, c'tzargin� �300 for a sound system should not, in
my opinion, be ��lowed �3thout furth�r a�reema�t of t3�e Commission,
fs�r the reason that the Corrmis s�on was adv�.sed. at tt�.e time of
�he in.stallation of tk�e system that �75.00 would be expended in
this regard from t�e Aud��orium iund, and that the radio st�tion
would com��ete the �quipment, and no mention of which was made
at the time the �75. �O expendii�ure r�aa au�horized, _
� T�eref ore s before T coul3 �rote f avorabl� �n the mota�on to
accept the proposed re�alua��.ons, � feel that it woul.d be
necessary to i.nt�11.3.gent?y irzform the auditing d�p�r�ment f`rom ',
;
praper records of �hose thin�s poin�ad to in this statemen� so
�hat such speculation as I am fo�e�d -�o induiga in upon au �
3nspection af these matters mysel� will bo elimin.ated in txie
preparation oi' th�m �txdit.
With reference to the �ssats r�f the C�ty v�hich ara being ;'
revalued, I am in.�.�'ormed i�hat recards ar� avai�.ab�.e d3sal�s3ng ;
t$e c�sp3.icaZ irivsst;ment and the am�un� �vritten do�vn an this
renaluatioz� on items other than the radio station. I am '
in.for�ed t�iat this situation does n�t ehis�,'f�om the C�tyts
re�ords with 'reference to �lie radio station. ;
I am, th�re�o�e, not �.n p�s�.ti�n. �o vo�a in �Segard �a ta.s
