At that time I asked if the City of Rochester would participate with the Rochester Airport Company and the Chamber of Commerce in the expenses involved for adequate representation in airline service cases. It was suggested that at the next meeting of the Common Council I submit a proposal and the following is suggested. For 1958 City of Rochester pay one-half of the retainer fee of Mr. L. L. Schroeder and Mr. Welch Pogue for the period July 1 - December 31, 1958 - $1,400. For the same period one-half of the additional costs not to exceed $1,500 - Total $2,900. For 1959 City of Rochester pay one-half of the retainer for Mr. L. L. Schroeder and Mr. Welch Pogue, January 1 - December 31, 1959 - $2,800, and one-half of the additional costs not to exceed $3,000 - Total $5,800. The Chamber of Commerce has budgeted for its next fiscal year $400 for these same purposes which, I am informed, could be used as a credit against the costs to be borne by the City of Rochester and the'Rochester Airport Company. The Rochester Airport Company in addition to the payment of the retainer to Mr. Schroeder and Mr. Pogue to date has also paid approximately $615 for services rendered and conferences here in Rochester with these attorneys, and for representation in the Seven States Case which was handled by Mr. Schroeder. It is my suggestion that this latter amount be included as part ofthe cost in which the City of Rochester will participate the last half of 1958. Yours respectfully, /s Fred W. Schuster, President Rochester Airport Company 5 e� 6, Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., September 29, 1958 , OSWALD PUBLISHING CO..
