Jack Dawn�r�. hereby requests that the Ci.ty af R'edd�ng, � � � �
' for reasons given belo�r, release him from his leasehold
at the Lake Redding Dance P�vilion. �
Due, largely; to the expense of placin� �he pauilion
into good repair, the initial investment exceeded the
original estimate by sever�l hundr�d dollars. , ,
It has become inereasingly cl.ear with each dance, ��that� �
the aver�t�e Saturda� n�_�ht receipts yield too �ma]_1_ � a `
mar. giri of profit to insure against l.ass because of weather
or unusua� Saturday night activities which wo�.ld dra.w
from the regu]_ar dance crowd.
Having rea.lized that he will campl.ete the season only
at d loss, the leaseholder, with permission , aF the cauncil,
wnuld prefer to accept the loss no�* .and �devote � hi.s, time
to same more prafitable enterprise. ` �

Dear Sir;
At the time of '�lorld �'d�r One, Shasta �ounty Chapter oi
the Americ�in Red Gross -excavated and 'made a basement•�unde�r •
- the Redding Carnegie Libr�ry Building �at great expeiise, -�and
it was agreed by �th� CitZT, through the library trustees anc)
city counci�., that the Rea Cross should have permanent and�
� perpetual -use of'�this b�semer�t; arict a1_1 �oi ' it; �ior= i4t� work,
This was• con�i.rmed• sev�ral ti.mes later°» Durin� Vi�orld tit�ar
Two, toTn�ards -the 'end°of �the?i�rar, ''the-�Red -Cr�oss agreed j that
the library might store''some old books -dowri in the •basement,
and we� made a sort of barricade between the part to be used
by the library and that �o• b'�•�used�by -Shasta County Chapter.
I understand there is a motTemPrit 't'o�t�ke over the� whole%base-
ment for the county library. This cannat be just7yo ur lAgally
done, �na I tnrill resi�t this with a11 my migh�.. Al�though I am
not conneci,ed with the Red Cross any long�r, T sti1T-�have ?ts
interests at h�ar�,, and my memoriPs`�of my f'zve' years as ch�ir-
man ef tl�e chapt�r f'rom 1�t�2 to 19�.7 w�1? b� al��rays with me, .`�
. ,. •..� . '��:� . � .
If ita were not for� the Red Cross, the library buildin� ��rauld
be as basement-less, as , it t�ras bui]_t early in the century. � As
f'ar as the county library is concerned, tY��t is the way it
must be con`s�dered now:� :' . . - `�- ' �, - - � •_ .
I understand it ��as bEen said that the co��.nty library "jus�t
must°! have this space , U�Te?�l, it "just m.us�; not1e, �.nd yGu t�ri11.
have to go Lo the Supreme Co�art be�'or�e� you� run� the' Red' Cr. oss

Mr. Morrison stated he had run the following advertisem�nt in the
Record Searchlight and requested the City Clerk include this in the
minutes of this meeting.
CITIZENS OF
REDDING �iI�D SHA3TA COUNTY: -
CITY COUNCILR�AN MORRISONtS POSITION ON THE POWER CONTRACT.
The citizen� by their vote at the last election issuing
their. mandate requiring the Gity Council to sign the PG&E �
contraet,having decided it was for their best interests to do �
so, we now come to the actual signing .of this contract� for
the b�st interests of the City and its taxpayers. As a Council- �
man I seriously assume my responsitiility to the taxpayers and
feel that I should and will exercise my duty in demanding tha.t '
the City secure an option for an additional five=year period.
with the P�8cE for the same. low rate. �
This means �hat if .the City .eannot obtain a more favorable
rate or contract at the end of the five years, it will not bind
the City, but if the City can, then we �wil.l be in a favorable
position � obtain the benefits of this contract for an additional
period of five years:
Tf as the editorial below indicates the Government may
accept� a ten-�rear contraet with the PG&E for all of the Bureau�s
power output, we would not then be in a .position to demand �such
a favorable eontract as now offered us. Thus, bp securing an
option we would avoid again a loss of approximately �30,000 to -
the taxpayers during the time there would be� negotiations for a
new contract. � �
This I consider as a very substantial savings to the tax-
payers and:worthy of time and attention af. the City Council.
The following Editorial appeared in the San Francisco .
Examiner on �Julp 25, 1949. It is so clear and concise and
covers so well the true i�sue recently voted on here in Redding,
that I am•taking tY�is' means of getting it before you. I am �
certain it would not be released otherWise.
By special permission of Mr. .Clarence R. Lindner, Editor
of the San Francisco Exam3.ner, =I her.eby contribute the f.ollowing
article printed in the San Francisco Examiner on July �25� 19�r9,
so that the people of xedding can in a few paragraphs read the
true �ituation as it exists v�tith reference to the Redding -
municipal power contract.
G4UNCILMAN BILL MORftISO�i.
BUREAU�RATS HALTED- � � �
THE SENATE Appropriations Comm3ttee has struek a blow against
the bureaucrats and. for the taxpayers, while :defining for onee
and all, it is. hoped, the purpases of the Central Valley project.
. The committee clipped off �6,775,000 i.ncluded in a reela-
ma.tion bureau budget to initiate fantastic and grandiose schemes
that have no place in the .�'�ent�ral Valley development.
. It denied..apprapriations for construction of a commercial
eleetric system--steam plant and transmission lines--that would
duplicate existing facilities, and serve no other purpose than
to damage �and hamper free enterprise. �
� The coinmittee recognitied the �eclamation and irrigation na-
ture of the project by increasing the amount .to develop these -
facilities. by �3,750,190 over the' budget estimate:
Thus the reclamation bureau was told stick' to its knitting.
Ir� seeking the original, foot in ,the door,��appropriations �
to enter the commercial power field, . some of the reclamation -
bureau's ideas .were dillies, �
l�'
�''�
One request was for �100,000 to begin a substation at
Redding, although the only potential customer for the substa-
tion, Ethe ..city .of Redding,. Yias been served ,by �.the:-Pacific, .Gas
'' �an'd Electric Co�pariy�for half a century. . , . .
Actually th.e city council of Redding:was being pressured to
stop buying power from the PG&,E,,,and .enter into �aa contr-act with
the bureau: " - , �
, But this idea also went haqwire. �The citizens of Redding
voted last June 2$ to continue business with FG&E, rather than
depend on the bureau.
Construction of a ,steam �,plant, too, can hardly be recon-
� ciled with a reclarriation project, and has never been authorized
for the Central Valley project.
Yet the bureau went blithely ahead and sought money to
start building such a plant, in direct competition with
private industry�, .; , ,
� If the original �appropriations had been granted, the bureau
would have been off or, a spending spree estimated to cost the
' taxpayers �$5,000,0�4 within a few years. .
, THE IftONIG� PART IS. THAT THE EXPENDITURE,WOtJLD,, HAV'E DECREASED,
AR1D ;NOT INGRF�SED; THE BUR.EAU��S"�POWER� REVENiTE. ` _,-., - � , . ..

� rec`eived if` the;� government,went to�;the expense of., installing its
owxi transmission system: . „ .. ,� . . ,, . ., , ...�
' Therefore, the.,taxpayers and the Gentral, Valley water users,
'�� in their�'rates; wouid .be" forced to� absorb the..operating� cost of
the'new'system: i �, _ _ � . .., . . ,.. - -: . . � . .. '
