O. BOX 18242 WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33406 August 23, 1969 Sir: Enclosed is the letter we sent to the Governor concerning his recent statements and our evergrowing fear of loss of identity and local control It is becoming more and more evident that because of apathy and complaisance we might well find ourselves "phased out" of existance by the increasing centralization of government. We might suggest a combined effort to appraise the County and State officials that we do value our sovereignty and that while we may have been lethargic in the past we have been aroused and will orpose this type of movement. The idea has been raised to form a co- operation of all the communities in Palm Beach County to protect our individually. Any ideas and suggestions should be addressed to Mayor Eugene Potter, Cite of 'Nest Palm Beach. Sincerely, nn , I1 , and G. Waite, rfifi. ll.V.M., Mayor R. Phillip Johnsen, M.D., Vice Mayor J. r ct g Town Clerk arreJ. e 1 , Councilman Howard R. Salisbury, Town Clerk, absent IIGW: ccw I TOWN OF GOLFVIEW IN THE PALM BEACHES CHARTERED JUNE II, 1937 P. O. Box 15242 WEST PALM BEACH. FLORIDA 33406 August 22, 1969 The Honorable Claude Firk Governor of Florida' Office of the Governor Tallahassee, Florida Sir: We read today of your statement concerning the consolidation of smaller communities into an amalgamated urban area and wish to inform you that the residents of the Town of Golfview are unalterably )pposed to any attempt to annex our 'Town into any metropolitan unit either totally or in rant. The basic premise behind the incorporation of this and many other townshirs was that a group of people wished to govern themselves without the complications or complexities of an ever - enlarging urban structure. The reor.le residing in this town have chosen to move here because it is a ouiet and unencumbered community and each resident desires, no, insists that it remain so. Whether you realize or care, the majority of the rornlation of this county resides either in the county or in small municipalities. They have chosen to do so, and we would hesitate to tell these people that they no longer have the right to live in a quiet suburban village, that they were now part of the big machine they moved here to avoid. If you had the orrortunity to live in such a c anmunity we feel you might realize the advantages of the uncomplicated township where it is not necessary to have a complex governmental system. We do what is reollired for the welfare of the Town and therefore do it willingly without ray or the desire of asriring to greater political heights. In referring to this and other communities as "zilch" (slang for zero) you personally and collectively demean and insult a great number of your constituency. We are sure that you as Governor, would he offended if this State were referred to in a derogatory manner, as was evidenced when you recently leared to the defense of the orange growers of Florida. In that same respect we hold each of our small municipalities dear and do not arrreciate their being slandered in such a manner. We feel that a public as well as a written apology would be in order and that should you insist on the plan for 11r.hanization of this or any other area, the reorle should have the say in what tvre and how far the individual communities would he. prepared to go. TOWN OF G❑LFVIEW IN THE PALM BEACHES CHARTERED JUNE 11, 1837 P. O. Box 15242 WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33406 Should the State be able to show us that it can run Its affairs as smoothly, efficiently, inexpensively and as non - partisanly as the Town of Golfview does theirs, only then might we reconsider.
