REGULAR MEETING
<br />asking that you do not rezone our area.
<br />NOVEMBER 26, 1962
<br />AIX
<br />As yet, we have been unable to find out your reason for the proposed action. Your first proposal called for rezoning
<br />the property on Linden Avenue between Walnut & Wilber Streets. This included a large commercial building located
<br />on the corner of Birdsell and Linden, owned by a white person. Now we find,,that you have decided not to include
<br />this property, freeing him of any possible zoning problems.
<br />The only two businesses that would be effected, should this proposal be approved, are those owned by two Negroes;
<br />namely, Clark's Funeral Chapel and the Delux Barber Shop. We don't know your reason or purpose for this proposed
<br />action, but from the information we have received, we are only able to read into this situation a tinge of racial
<br />discrimination and gross unfairness.
<br />Respectfully,
<br />/s/ Paul D. Clark
<br />Clark's Funeral Chapel
<br />1321 W. Linden Avenue
<br />/s/ Herbert E. Barham
<br />The Delux Barber Shop
