this as a starting salary. I would also like to have tie under-
standing that after I have completed the school course, we would
again consider the salry of $6,000 per year for this position.
Since City Planning is a community affair, I would like to
thank those departments which have extended to me their cooperation.
Respectfully,
s Tom 0. Moore"
