"City Council "
.Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
I protest most strongly recent Council action in the
matter of bids for street surfacing materials. Certainly
in such instances the Council, as representatives of all
the peoples of Rochester, is obligated to accept the low
bid.
4f ith all due regard for the right of Mr. Petersdorf to
defend the rights jof unionism, I firmly believe that it is
time to call a halt to his " bulldozing„ tactics in regard
to municipal affairs. Let's pay attention the best interests
of all the citizens, not just his particular group.
Very truly yours,
S. J. McComb"
"The Rochester City Council
Rochester, Minnesota
Honorable Sirs:
If the news story on page 9 of the -Rochester Post Bulletin for
.April-3, 1951 is substantially correct it would appear that
Mr. R. J. Petersdorf" is controlling the affairs of the city$.
council by the force of implied threat. I protest his pre -
Bumptiousness in doing this and I hope you will not 'allow him
to push you around. I hope you will not allow anyone to push
YOU around. I resent seeing anyone push my government around.
Respectfully yours,
I+. P. Howell, M.' D. "
