Re:
Item 1, The appearance of the Georgetown Police Station.
Item 2, The accumulation of junk at 1501 Pine & 15th Street.
Dear Sirs:
There is nothing being leveled for Urban Renewal that looks
much worse than Georgetown's police station. It is a disgrace
to our town. The tin front, the boarded up window pane, the un-
painted door with a hole in it, the Rube Goldberg stove -pipe
arraingement for a drain, projecting over the sidewalk and terminating
in a small, cheap sign, point up a fact which can not be ignored:
Nobody has pride enough to see to it that waht can be done to improve
the station's looks is done. No don't say nothing can be done. A
coat of paint, a decent gutter, a new window pane, a new painted door,
and a sign large enough for the stranger to locate the station by
should not entail costs which would drain the city of the last dollar
in its coffers. But if this is the case, the city is operating on
too narrow a budget for comfort and something should be done about that,
but I just don't believe we are that broke.

So much for Item 1. Item
2 causes me some embarrasment because it
sounds like I was "gunning
for" Soupy Williams and I am not.
Mr. Sloan, and you fellows
on the Council, drive by the corner of
Pine and 15th, slow down,
observe the cluttered -with -junk look; the over-
flow that pours over into
the vacant lot; take a good look at the
construction machinery, the
brokendown equipment, the odds and ends that
are already hauled there.
Also, the weeds which abound there, never
cut, and the cans that lie
there. Is THIS what we want to happen to
our vacant lots all over our
town? Is this what you would like to
happen close to where you
live? Put is this way: Every vacant lot is
a potential graveyard for
abandoned cars, parts, and rusty chunks of
Cz
metal. Every unmoved lot
is a potential fire, come dry season, as well
as being an eyesore and a
blight on the landscape. Something can be
done about such conditions
and I believe now is the time for you to do
Vit
before lot -abuse becomes
a fad.
Sincerely,
Signed Agnes B. Prude
