Gentlemen: ~ne Boynton Beach Boat Club~ organized less than one year ago~ Compmises 86 members~ most of whom are res- idents o~ Boy'ton Beach a~d many of whom are business and professional people here. Wa are growing fast -- nearly as fast as the mounting interest in boating in this area. Wa certainly recognize the need for a launching site for Small boats and parking for:the boat owners adjacent thereto. We recuest your consideration of a civic improvement which we believe ties in well with a launch- Lng site. If the ~ity now o~ns~ or c~u secure such a site~ which would have more land than that actually needed for a ramp~ we would like to lease this land from the City for a clubhouse~ to better provide for the comfort and plaasure of our members. We would be willing to erect a dignified and good looking building thereon and landscape same at our expense. The plans for same would be submitted to the City Commission for your approval. Naturally~ the launching site would be open to the public but our clubhouse limited to members and their guests. We will cooperate in every way to properly maintain this facility so that it will stand as a credit to a fine city.

W~R~EAS~ the City of Boynton Beach~ Palm Beach ,oun~y~ Florida~ is faced ~ith the need for a Federal Savings ~nd Loan Company~ and ~EREAS~ the Builders and De~e!o~ers at ~resent ~re compelled to go to neighboring cities to arrange tne_r nortage loan financing~ this imposes a hardship inasmuch ~s service and appraisal fees are usually greater and as ~ar as these lending companies are concerned it is an out- }f-towA loan and the appraisals are usually less. T~REFOR~ it is felt that the City of Boynton Beach should ha~e its own f~cilities for creating mortgage Loans and this association should be local in n~ture~ ~ause local management h~s a b~ understanding of }robiems. THEREFORE~ we s~rongly urge the chartering of a ~avings and Loan Association in Boynton Beach and recommend charter be given :o a local group of re~utable hhat this :itizens.
