The voluminous report I trust has been passed onto you individually. We feel it is an unusually valuable piece of city planning work and can have a great effect on the future growth of the city. However a paper plan, no matter how good, does little for a city if it is filed away and forgotten. For this reason I am addressing you with the request that we may dis- cuss the main items in the report with you and perhaps lay the foundation for a continuing service. In this respect I would like to call your attention to the fact that many items in the report have already had the first steps toward carrying them-obt on the gound and I like to -emphasize that your city manager has been unusually active -and efficient in takin on this work for the future building of Fort Collins. I am fulLy conscious of the diffi- culties you have met in the first weeks of your term but I fear that -in such a time some of the other city matters may be overlooked. It is my sincere opinion that you have in our study the future possibilities of your beautiful city and that you have the man who can and will carry them into effect. Respectfully, Isl S. R. De Boer.
