Minnesota 55101 _ _ �� December 4, 1967 William E. Carlson . Commissioner , ' Department of Public Safety 101 East lOth Street ' � St. Paul, Minnesota Dear Commissioner Carlson: As you know, since late in summer, we have been assisting the residents in the Summit-University Area in the promotion of an accelerated program for neighborhood improvement, as well as rodent control. This program was made possible through funds Mayor Byrne received from some of the business commun- ity. Since these funds ran out some time ago, we have, with the cooperation of several of the community organizations, been organizing community participa- tion, block-by-block. The organizations were able, through donations, to receive about $600 for the purchase of rodenticides while we were furnishing the technical support. These funds are now exhausted, and we are in desper- ate need of some funds to purchase rodenticides to continue this program. We are fearful that if support funds are not obtained, the enthusiasm display- ed by the residents will evaporate. This could have tragic results and un- - do the excellent organizational work that has been done by the agencies and staffs involved. We strongly urge you, the Mayor, and the City Council to find some financial means to continue the support of this important pro�ect. The cost of the rodenticides themselves will be but a minor contribution toward the total manpower and enthusiasm that the residents in that area are contributing. While we intend to continue with our sanitarian and public health education assignment in the neighborhood, we could not possibly furnish funds for rodenticides. • Respectfully, /���� � .
