BOX 266 <br /> <br />SAN MARCOS, TEXAS 78666 <br />January 17, 1967 <br /> <br />Mr, Billy Wolf <br />City Manager <br />Ci ty Hall <br />San Marcos, Texas <br /> <br />Dear Mr, Wolf: <br /> <br />You may remember that Mr. Bill Cox referred a color city map <br />project to the Jaycees in October. We undertook this project <br />for potential revenue and as a community service project. The <br />primary objective was to furnish up-to-date colorful maps for <br />distribution by the Chamber to prospective residents, tourists, <br />new residents, and of course, persons now living in San Marcos. <br /> <br />Jaycees took turns accompanying the map company representative <br />to prospective ad subscribers almost every hour of each day <br />during a two week period. It looked as if our efforts would <br />net us about a $200.00 profit after having applied $195.00 on <br />the purchase of three thousand of the maps as a donation to <br />the Chamber. We felt that the initial three thousand <br />furnished by the company would be inadequate (of course we're <br />hoping that the Chamber will find these maps attractive enough <br />to reorder at $65 per thousand as the supply is exhausted). <br />You may remember that the street portion may be revised <br />periodically during a five year period, <br /> <br />Submission of the map for printing has been delayed by a <br />combination of holiday season and problems in obtaining color <br />prints of the library and hospital. Now that the map is ready <br />for mailing to the printers all of the bills are in and it <br />appears that we mUst bear the expense of about $30,00 in <br />photographer's fees and $60.00 for revision of the street portion, <br /> <br />Mr. Billy Windham who personally drove all areas of the city in <br />which there was a question of street layout or names was kind <br />enough to reduce his fee by the amount shown on the enclosed <br />statement. <br /> <br />Now, here's the part you've probably been anticipating: Due to <br />the circumstances involved we are writing both the Chamber of <br />Commerce and the city of San Marcos in the hope that they may <br />see enough value in this project for their respective interests <br />to offset this $60.00 expense, <br /> <br />: r <br />
