Letter dated February 19, 1958, addressed to the City from the Chamber of Commerce was read in answer to the Ckty's .letter regarding t.wo disputed items submitted for payment by the Chamber. The letter stated that the two disputed items had a direct advertis- ing benefit to the community; considerable time was spend by the Chamber in writing letters to Disc Jockeys and to Chambers throughout the Country. They asked that this be considered an official request to ameqd the terms of the contract to permit reimbursement covering this direct mail type of advertising in a similar manner to th.e reimbursement for newspapers or magazine advertising, as they were operating on a very meager budget; ac- cording to the contract there is available to the Chamber $1608.00 providing the' terms of the contract are complied with, and after seven months of operation, the Chamber has received $307.67. They further stated they would appreciate a check in the amount of $79.66 to cover' these items. The City Attorney was asked if this type of expenditure was legal, and he informed the Council that this type of advertising was not covered in the contract, but since the City was involved in the advertising he felt the items were legal; however, he did not feel the contract should be amend- ed, but the items should be charged against their budget.

He further stated that the purpose of this letter was to put in motion an immediate request .that t,he property belonging to Mrs. Vaughn be excepted and released from the effectiveness of the emergency- ordinance, in order for her to complete her transaction with the R-3 designation.
