Dear Sirs:
We respectfully request that the sewer assessment for the new ATO house at 635
South Shields Street be based on the building square footage rather than the lot size. We
feel that the lower figure by this method is justified as nearly 60% of the lot area will
be covered by building, walks, driveways and parking lot. The remaining 40% will be irri-
gated by a well in the Northeast corner of the property.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Sir: I was in ,your office the other day to see you about having a Church sign put
up at the intersection of South College and East Prospect.
The sign would be so the North and South bound traffic could read it. The sign would read
First Baptist Church with an arrow pointing East.
The Secretary in your office said she would talk to you and then call me, which she did.
She said I would have to bring it before the next City Council meeting which is next Thurs-
day. I told her I may not be able to be at the meeting. She then said I might w r3.t'e' to
you and see if you would mind presenting this to the Council then let me know what is decid-
ed.
This would be of great appreciation not only to but to all the people of the Church.
Yours truly,

The Honorable Harvey G. Johnson
Mayor of Fort Collins
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Mayor Johnson:
As pointed out in the enclosed copy of the resolution adopted by this Association at its
American Municipal Congress in New York City in 1960, "The need for better understanding
and good will between the people of the United States and the people --of Lat;ih America is
obvious. One means of filling this need is to support the Inter -American Municipal Organ-
ization (IAMO), which, briefly described, is the equivalent on an international basis with-
in the Western Hemisphere of the American Municipal Association within the United States.
It holds'a biennial congrss, the last one having been in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in Oct-
ober 1962, and the'next one is sh6duled for Louisville, Kentucky, October 4-8, 1964. Mayor
William 0. Cowger of Louisville is Acting President of IAMO this year.
The resolution also calls for the American Municipal Association to provide a total annual
contribution to IAMO of at least $10,000 as the U.S. share of financial support, and the
AMA Executive Committee has annually been calling upon the ten largest cities in each state
(and any others over 50,000 population) to make a voluntary annual contribution. A list
of those that have done so is attached. At the top of the list is a schedule of the volun-
tary fee set according to population.
When the Castro government of Communist Cuba made it necessary for the IAMO to move its
headquarters out of Havana, it located at San Juan, Puerto Rico. For the past year it has
maintained a branch office in the Washington headquarters of AMA, largely financed by our
U. S. Contribution. We solicit your financial support for 1964 and would like to appoint
you as an official United States delegate to the Inter -American Municipal Congress in
Louisville next October. Please fill out and return the enclosed post card.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Patric Healy
Executive Director
