Dear Maurice:

The Recreation Commission is wondering whether or not you have
made up your mind as to what you want to do next year, You are still our
first choice for Recreation Director. The gob would begin January 1 and
be on a twelveemonths' basis. While the commission did not authorize me
to offer you any particular salary, I am sure it will be over 5,000.00.
If you are interested, for what would you come?

I think there is a real opportunity here for someone, We have
an overeall budget of $15,000.00 on which to operate. In addition to that,
the @ity Council ‘has a $75,000.00 bond issue to use for additional verse
— etce

I would appreciate. hearing from you as soon as possible as to
whether or not you are interested. We will have to start looking elsewhere
if you are not interested, but we certainly hope that vou will be.

We are having a rather hot summer but we have a pretty good
recreation program going on downtown and another one on the hill. The
university is expecting more than 7,000 students next fall, I expect that
they will be hanging from the rafters.

Very sincerely yours,

Henry A. Shenk,
