Brooks and ordered spread on the Minutes: Honorable Ed Simmerman 7 July 1960 Mayor of the City of Caldwell City Hall Caldwell, Idaho Dear Mayor Simmerman: I have this date received from the National Guard Bureau in Washington a letter of instructions pertaining to the Armory Construction nrogram for fiscal year 1962 and be- yond. This letter from the Bureau indicates that the State must produce a Certificate of Title to real property before a request for Federal Funds to support an Armory will be favorably conside=red. As you are no doubt aware, the various federal agencies are now prenaring their fiscal year 1962 Budgets. Inthis respect the Caldwell Armory project is our number one priority for fiscal year 1962 which begins just one year from now. I realize that this request for title to real property is at least one year in advance of actual construction, however, I feel that we must comply with the National Guard Bureau request or risk post- ponement of the project to a fiscal year program beyond 1962. The construction of a new armory in Caldwell is long over due in my opinion and I am very happy that the projectnow anpears to be in the foreseeable future. We have con- structed 11 armories to date and I believe each and every one is considered by the re- ceiving community to ben significant addition not only to the National Guard but to com- munity facilities. We are all quite enthised over the Caldwell project as I feel the citizens of Caldwell will be proud of their new armory and I assure you the National Guard need the new facilities very badly. I am requesting at this time that adeed for an undivided one -half interest in a minimum of five acres be drawn as soon as possible and forwarded to this office with a policy of title insurance in the amount of $1 Of course, the other one -half in- terest is to be held by the City of Caldwell. The Nation Guard Bureau has nlaced a suspensedate of 1 August on our submission of both the P,ertificate of Title and the Certificate as to availability of State and City Funds. The information in my files will serve as a basis for our certification of funds, however, I must have a deed in order to secure the Attorney General's Certificate of Title. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly anprediated. I am sure we are all anxious to do e thing possible to keep this project going at this time.
