Wright City C 1 erk Rochester, Minn. Dear Mr. _r Wright : THE LEAGUE OF MINNEc.UTA MUNICIPALITIES 15 University of Minnesota Library Minneapolis, Minnesota October lls 1934. n This l,ett er is addressed to the mayors and the clerks of municipalities in Minnesota- which, it is believed, are planning to vote on the question of zoning at an early. date. There is still sufficient time left to make Preparations to Present the matter for consideration at the- coming general election on November ds if immediate steps are taken. It may be well to call to mind here the fact that a notice of election is required to be posted fifteen days prior to the 'elect ion date, or October 22. Knowing that many last minute details will have to be atten&ed to during the two weeks preceding the elections the League at this time offers it f special zoning services without charge to all municipalities desiring to use them. Attention is called to the 'October issue of "Minne#$ta Municipalities." In `this magazine may be found on page 369 a brief outline of zoning procedure, Including the council's resolutions notice of election, and special ballot. On page 366 is an article ddscribing in a general way the Principles and purposes of zoning., This article is well adapted to use in locasl newspapers and may be re- printed if desired as a piece of educational matter for the voters. If any mass meetings or similar gatherings are to be held in the municipality and a League representative is desired to assist in the discussion and to answer questions, ;arrangements can be made for Mr. G.J.Snith, League zoning representative, to be Present, if notified sufficiently in advance. There will be no cost to your municipality for this service.
