said the Commission feels that this comprehensive report is correct in principal, the plan is
set forth correct in principal, the plan is.set forth excellently but there are no doubt areas of
controversy that should be discussed and modified. He said'the items brought up at the task force j
meetings were not incorporated in this report as they did not feel it.was..their perogative to make
concessions on these areas. Dr. A. Hagedorn and Larry McCaleb, members of the Commission,'also

'Mr. A. J. Tingley
Alderman at Large
City Council
<Rochester,,Minnesota
Dear Mr, Tingley:
As you will recall, I called to your attention and to the attention of the Mayor,
who in turn referred my letter to the Park Board, that we feel it is unfair to us,
as large tax payers, to be discriminated against, by not being permitted to
offer Pepsi Cola to the public patronizing city facilities, that come under Park-;---_...
Board management, namely the Mayo Civic Auditorium etc.
You may be interested io know, that I recently found myself in a position to
take a sizable amount of.business away. from Mayo Civic Auditorium, ..which I did
not hesitate to do, in view of the treatment the Park Board has given me. I am
sure this will not be the only time that it will be my privelege to �"recipricate
in kind". Furthermore, I am sure that the other two bottlers in Rochester who
are also being denied any business at the city facilities, due to the existing
subsidy, will have oocassion to also refer business to sources more favorable
to them.
It is unfortunate, that a city such as Rochester, that spends so much effort
recommending its advantages, to attract new business firms to locate here,
cannot do a better job of city management for those already here, that have
contributed so much to Rochesters present success.
Yours truly,
/s F: `E. O' Hearn"
