Re: Sanitary Building in Mayo Park
Gentlemen:
Attached find letter from Dr. Bruce_ Douglass, President of the Rochester Music
Board.
You may or may not recall that we requested funds for the construction of rest
room facilities in Mayo Park in our proposed budget for the year 1960-1961.
Again, you may recall that this item was deleted from the budget as an economy'
measure. We feel quite certain that this item would be allowed in the budget
another year, but we have the lack of the facility to contend with this coming
season, and wonder it it is not possible that funds for this much needed
.improvement could not be found at this time. We have no definite plans,
however we do feel that a satisfactory facility could be constructed for from
$5,000.00 to $6,000.00 and once constructed, it would be there for a long
time.
Anything you can do to give us'assistance on this problem will be greatly
appreciated.
i
Sincerely yours,
/s Albert J. Toddie, President
Board of Park Commissioners"
