Gentlemen:
May 24, 1940.
Some time ago our organization made an effort'to secure an expression from
all civic organizations as to their attitu&e_toward removal of the pine trees from
U. S. 1 highway. Action by these organizations was very slow in most oases, and after
waiting until now, we conclude that those not heard from are either non -committed., or
not interested.
The following reports were made.as "expressions of opinion":
Sebastian Woman* Club- Divided opinion
Rod & Gun Club - Favors removal
Vero Beach -Woman's Club= Executive Board opposes removal
Dr. Humiston, Pres. of Beautification Society- Opposes removal.
8iwanis Club- (Verbal report) Favors removal beyond city limits.
City Park Commission - favors removal.
County Planning Council - Favors removalbeyond city limits.
These reports together with such as may have come_to you through the American Legion
and other sources, will help you to determine your action in this matter.
Yours truly,
E. G. Thatcher
E. G. Thatcher,
Secretary.
After considerable discussion as to the above report it was moved by S, E. Glover
that Douglas Baker, Clerk be authorized to _write to the State Road Department requesting the
of
removal of the Pine Trees located on.the East & West shoulders/U.S. #1 Highway said trees to
