"The Honorable Board of City Commissioners
Delray Beach, Florida
Gent lemen:
"Will you please give priority at your November 21st
meeting to the subject of this letter, which is of vital
importance to De]ray Beach.~
"i have been informed today by the Atlanta Regional
Office of the United States Post Office Department that
for the past several months the Department has been, and
still is willing and ready to have a new Post Office
building constructed on the west half of Block 73, which
I cwn, and on which it has a purchase Option. I am further
informed that the only remaining necessary action is that
of re-zoning the area to make it available for their purpose...
That if such action is taken within the next three weeks,
the Department will immediately advertise for construction
bids~ to be submitted within sixty days.
"Therefore, I hereby urgently request that you re-zone the
property by immediate, direct action under your emergency
powers as you have done in several instances in the past.
·....thereby avoiding the delay which would be caused by
referral to the Planning Commission.
"Unless this action is taken and soon, Delray Beach will
undoubtedly lose this badly needed Post Office to someone
of the more than 600 other cities in the Atlanta district,
which are vigorously working for it.
Respectfully,
/s/ W. R. Haggart"
Mayor Sundy stated that he was told in Atlanta by the Post
Office authorities that they would send another crew down to make

"As Chairman of the Community Improvement P~ogram, I am
pleased to announce that all is in readiness to go ahead.
That the Committee, including Mr. Paul Knowles, Ralph -
Hughson, John Kabler, Paul Ledridge and myself have been
advised that application forms are on hand-at Ralph Hughsons,
Building permit office. Whereas all Contractors who are in-
terested in working with this program may pick up the forms
for their use in making application to the H.H.F.A. in Coral
Gables. These forms outline the necessary procedure.
"The City Gove~ning body, which includes Councilmen, during
the past three years, the Administrative Officials, the
local committee on the Workable Program and the citizens of
the west side who made a survey f~r the committee......
have completed their part of the program.
"The H.H.F.A. Federal Insurance office have agreed to guarantee
the mortgages of 30 new homes to provide ~ew homes for the
people who are living in sub-standard homes in the west section
of our city....~ich I am assured can be increased to a greater
number when the first thirty homes are completed and occupied
by our west side citizens.
"The success of the program is now in the hands of any local
contractors or possibly out-of-town contractors..who can meet
the requirements as outlined by the H.H.F.A. applications.
"The Federal Government does not finance the construction of
these homes, they only insure payment to any local Bankers,
or Loan Companies who are desirous of making these long term
loans.
"The City does not participate in locating the people who will
want to improve their standard of living, by owning one of these
new, three bedroom homes, on payment of approximately $200.00
down and as low as $13.?~ per week. However the City does have
the option of condeming a below standard home for the purpose of
qualifying the owner to obtain the necessary financing.
"Time and the sincere interest of our West side citizens will
prove whether our efforts have been worthwhile.
"I wish to thank everyone who helped in establishing 'this
Community Improvement Program, over the past three years, with-
out your efforts it could not have been done."
It was moved by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Mr. Thayer and unanimously
carried that a copy of Mr. Warren~s report be made available to the
press.
