Dear Mr. Kee:
1 The Towers and PruneYard again request permission this year to
erect the "PEACE ON EARTH" sign about November 20, 1974 ..nd, consistent
? with the energy situation at that time, to illuminate the sign through
out the Christmas season as we did in January of this year. It would
be our intention to take the sign down shortly after the New Year
holiday is over.
Very truly yours,
