Hawkins Bessemer Properties, Inc. 1317 Biscayne Blvd. Miami, Florida Dear Mr. Hawkins: I feel there may be a common meeting ground with your people and the Council in regard to the Golf Course matter. It seems to me that, after sober reflection, all parties can still arrive at a solution. With this idea in mind I am suggest- ing to you that you submit in a written form to the Council a financial program regarding whether or not you will be able to carry on with the Golf Course. Personally, I feel that your people will be in a position to offer us a sound program and I am in hopes you will submit a proposition whereby all of us caH proceed without delay.
