CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL Alice Hurck Acting City Clerk CITY of South Daytona DAYTONA, FLORIDA August 21, 1962 HARRY F. STEELE, Mayor DONALD F. QUIMBY, City Clerk COUNCILMEN George S. Nelson Louis Milton Paul McCarroll Newton E. To The Honorable Mayor and Council City of Cape Canaveral, Fla. Gentlemen: During the past year we have been extremely satisfied with the work of the Butts Disposal Service, Inc. Mr. Butts has been very cooperative in matters of complaints and unusual circumstances. Prior to contracting with Mr. Butts we had considerable difficulty in running down complaints because of the lack of radio communications. This situation has been elimin- ated and the Butts Disposal Service handles all complaints within a few hours after being resgistered. The complaints, however, have not been too many. We might say emphatically, at this point, that both the citizens and the administration are very pleased with this arrangements. Very truly yours, Donald F. Quimby City Clerk DFO/bbc
