'iGentlemena yu The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, being the governing.board of the county has had its attention directed to the application of J. M. Knight, Bog 845, ;Vero Beach, Florida, for permit to construct a building to house a motion picture theatre at 'jthe Unincorporated Town of Gifford, in Indian River County, Florida. Gifford is populated almost entirely by negroes and there are no recreational or entertainment facilities for them in such community and, in f act, any facilities within the county for such purpose are extremely limited and inadequate. The people of the Gifford area are most essential to the economy of the county and it is the desire of the County Commission that living conditions be such in their community that they will not be inclined to remove to other counties. Further, they are entitled to have adequate recreational and entertainment. facilitie$. For theseieasons, we wish to endorse Cdr. Knight's application for permit to con- struct such building.
