Dear Mrs. Butler:
The Committee for the School Bond Issl,e ;l�:s asked me to write to you requesting the
City Council to pass a resolution erdor:�in�; the school bond issue that will appe�r
on the ballot November 7.
As you know, the $25.2 million will be uce� to replace the 20 school's that do not
meet the regulations stipulated in Counci:L Ordinance 14790 (Council File No. 253$1.6),
and to purchase land for secondary school� on the West Side and in the Summit Univer-
sity area.
The recommendation for the bond issue came from the Umbrella Committee (a group
of citizens representing 45 or�anizations i.rom various parts of the city), and the
plans for how the 20 schools will be replaced were worked out with the area plannin�
committees comprising citizens from the affected are�s.
To date we have received the endorsements of the Chamber of Commerce, the Trades and.
Labor Assembly, the Board of Realtors, the Lea�ue of Women Voters, the St. Paul
Council of PTAs, the St. Paul School Committee, the Fourth District DFL, and the
Republican Party, to name a few of the larger groups. We are hopeful that the
City Council will likewise lend its suppori,.
Yours truly,
_�w�._,.� L��. �✓ I
