Overton, and Members of the Fairhope City Council Fairhope Alabama Gentlemen: It is with much regret that I must resign as a member of the Fairhope Recreation Board effective with the April meeting. The association with you gentlemen and the members of our Board has been very enjoyable to me, and I feel that with your full co-operation the Recreation Board can do and will do wonderful things for the people of Fairhope. With very best wishes to each of you. Sincerely, George K. Page GKP/mh cc: Mr. Walter 0. Poser, 'Secretary Fairhope Recreation Board Fairhope, Alabama J, E. GASTON -PRESIDEN C. A. GASTON. SECRETARY I. O. BERGLIN, TREASURER FAIRHOPE SINGLE TAX CORPORATION ADMINISTERING FAIRHOPE SINGLE TAX COLONY ESTABLISHED IN 1895 340 FAIRHOPE, AVE. FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA Feb. 100 1958 Hon. E. B. Overton, Mayor and Fairhope City Councilmen Fairhope, Alabama Gentlemen: Since your adoption of Ordinance No. 221, the City has billed us with an annual charge of $150.00 under the provisions of Section 1, Schedule 49 of said ordinance. Although our corpo- ration believes such levy to be unjust the charge has been paid each year. This year when such bill was presented to our Execu- tive Council it directed me to make a formal protest, citing to you the grounds on which such protest is made. Schedule 49 reads as follows: "Corporations whose principle place of business is in Fairhope, not engaged in any business or profession otherwise taxed under this ordinance, One Hundred Fifty Dollars (•;150.00):' Our corporation is not a busi- ness as that term is generally understood. It is chartered by the State of Alabama as a. non -stock, non-profit corporation. Its only purpose is to supply the community with public revenue from a source that is not fully available to the municipal government. It pledges that no part of such r-venue shall be appropriated as dividends to its members or any other persons, but that all shall be administered as a trust fund for the equal benefit of those leasing its lands. In fact, as you know, such benefits are shared by the general public without discrimination. In large part the expend- itures are for the improvement of City streets used freely by all. In addition many other public benefits are provided from our trust funds. Fairhope's free public library was built with corporation funds and our monthly appropriations provide the greater part of the revenue upon which it depends to maintain its service. Our schools have been and are now being; supplied with corporation own- ed land for school use without charge, in addition to substantial cash contributions. We have, up until this year, provided and maintained the community's only cemetery. The greater part of the City's public park lands were deeded to the City, without charge, by our corporation, and its water department had a like origin. The land on which the City's municipal buildings stand was made available to the City, without charge, by our corporation. Easements for municipally owned water, sewer, electric and gas lines have been provided over our lands without charge. We pro- vided land for right of way for many of the City streets and for additional right of way for widening existing streets as need arose and without any charge for the land so needed. In consideration of the past and continuing public serv- ice the community derives from the operations of our corporation; and the fact that such operations do not constitute a business in the general acceptance of that term, we believe it reasonable for us to request that you take such action as may be deemed to be nec- essary to relieve us from the present and future billing of this charge.

CFB/mb I �t ;r City of Fairhope 50 Sherwood Drive Fairhope, Alabama Mobile, Alabama Attn: Mr. George Dyson, 8upt. Gas Dept. Fetruary 24, 1958 Gentle -men; Confirming our verbal, discussions we believe that a corrosion survey should be made of your gas transmission lines in order to obtain information noeess©ry to design an adequate and efficient cathodic protection system. Sufficient tests and inspection should also be made of your steel distribution systems to determine whether there is a need for cathodic protection on these systems in the immediate future. Prior to surveying the transmission line they shoule, be effectively insulated from the distribution systems and from United 3as'pipe line. Since no tort leads were installed on these lines during construction it will be necessary to install 4 to 8 such stations for use in conducting these test measurements. We propose to survey and design cathodic protection systems for your transmission line, to estimate the need for cathodic protection on your steel distribution systemsand to furnish all neocessary insulating materials for your town border stations. and .intake station, and all materials excepting steel pips and concrete for 6 to 8 cathodic test lead stations for a total price of W850.00. This price is based upon your furnishing one man to work with our corrosion engineer throughout the field survey work, to mare excavations, soil test stations, and furnish such other assistance as is required. This price also assumes that the necessary insulation materials will be installed at the intake and town border stations in advance of any survey work. We assure you that we will provide you with Cathodic krotection in as an efficient manor specific transmission lines.

B. Niemeyer, City Manager City of Fairhope Fairhope, Alabama Dear Mr. Niemeyer: In answer to your request concerning the reliability of Steele and Associates, Inc., I would like to advise that during my association with this Company, I have found them very reliable. In working with Mr. Steele during our survey and installation of our field beds for protection to our transmission system, I found him to be very conscientious in his work and economically minded to to the fact that he only recommended enough protection to protect our system sufficiently and did not try to oversell us on any item. We com- pleted a thorough survey of our system last week and found every- thing very satisfactory. I believe that you would enjoy working with Mr. Steele and Mr. Mueller who has recently joined the Company. If I may be of further assistance, please advise. Yours very truly, THE SOUTHEAST ALkBAMA GAS DISTRICT WEB:cs W. E. BOAN, Supt. of Operations Western Division PIEDMONT 523 South Tryon Street Mr. C. B. Niemeyer City Manager City of Fairhope Fairhope, Alabama Dear Mr. Niemeyer: t GAS COMPANY, INC. POST OFFICE BOX 1968 March 4, 1958 Charlotte, North Carolina Your letter regarding the reliability of Steele and Associates in Atlanta, Georgia has been referred to me. A couple of years back we had Steele and Associates perform a corrosion survey and the necessary cathodic protection installation on our Charlotte lateral which consists of approximately fifteen miles of transmission pipe. We considered their work to be satisfactory and have again employed them for corrosion control work. They are now in the process of installing cathodic protection, after already performing the required design on approximately thirty-five miles of transmission piping from Greensboro to Burlington, North Carolina. I feel sure that if you were to employ Steele and Associates, Inc. for your work that you would be very well satisfied with their results. Yours very truly, 44 ` ' 4�4� Earl C.
