Letter dated 5/29/1931 to Mrs. Robinson from Anne Bellangee Call discussing the matters of the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation. The FSTC "passed a resolution to deed the parks to the town" the previous evening without a vote of the members and without an amendment to the constitution allowing such. Call fears the worst - that this starts movement towards dissolution of the Colony. Futher she believes the current mayor of Fairhope is actively working against the Colony, hoping to have public parks and utilities transferred to the Town, and then start large street improvement projects, leaving the FSTC without the revenue stream to pay, thus forcing dissolution. She says there are only a few in the FSTC who truly understand the single tax principles attempting to be demonstrated here. From the papers of Anne Bellangee Call. |
