LETTER FROM FRED HELMEN RE: RIVER BEND PLAZA The Board received a copy of the following letter sent to Mayor Miller: "Dear Jerry, September 9, 1974 I think you should know that the changes that have taken place on River Bend Plaza in the last ten days have been very noticeable. In fact, many people have mentioned it to me. The plaza is now tidy and loitering has been virtually eliminated. I think most of the credit belongs to you, the Board of Works, the Board of Safety and to a young man who is always on the job by the name of Levy. Much can also be said for having uniform personnel (male and female) who patrol the area.
