Because of a previous corrmitr,cent, I am unable to attend your meet-
ing, therefore please accept 1-1-.is note as a request for your con-
sideration of my application for a city>, license to carry on the
popcorn concession at the spoil previously occupied.
Due to the favorable response th�:t I have received from townspeople
and businesses alike (14 of the r*:ajor businesses signed a petition
so stating) I am convinced that there is not the type of objections
that warrant closin- down the business.
To impose this restriction raft,: the accompanying financial loss, is
I believe unjust, therefore I request your careful consideration of
this matter.
Thank you kindly,
(Signed) Bert Orr
