Dear Jim:
I have just received a notice indicating that there will be a meeting of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council on March 9th, 1970, at the Council office, 433 DeBaliviere.
I have stopped by the office a couple of times recently and we are going to have to take some steps to improve the maintenance of the building and of our space.
Sunday morning they looked terrible. There were ashes all over everything, pools of water standing on every flat surface, unbelievable disarray, including filing cabinets thrown into the basement and large hunks of the ceiling all over the floor. The mimeograph machine has apparently disappeared through the floor and someone has been playing tiddly-winks with desk tops. Most of the glass in the windows is gone and the lights and telephone don’t seem to work.
I think we should reschedule this meeting to some other place until you can get the cleaning woman on the ball or get her replaced. Premises like this must give us a very bad public image.
Sincerely yours,
Richard C. Hart
