LUKE'S METHODIST CHURCH, APRIL 1, 1965, 7:30 P.M. W. C, Wofford James R. Carmichael Frank Jemison Rembert Donelson C:1 r· £> • !(¥. II, Tom McGuire Nick Pinter J. P, Tucker Henry Clayton Clyde Wentz Page Brown Paul Borda Charles Crump Jones Huskey PURPOSE OF MEETING: President Borda explained that the meeting had been called for the purpose of informing board members of negotiations taking plac.e with officials of the Illinois Central Railroad relative to the possible acquidng of railroad property on Central Avenue as a location for a council office service center. He said that rRilroad officials were pushing for a quick decision by the council, b11t that he would not press for any action at this meeting because of the limited time board members had had to consider any proposal and al.so because small attendance would not necessarily result in representative thinkin3 of the entire board. III. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF ,PROPE~TY: President Borda called on. Bill Wofford, chairman of the office site selection committee, who described and locqted the property on a large city map. It consists of a triangular shaped lot approximately 1. 7 acres in size located in the general area of the fairf\rounds. The triangle is bounded by Central Avenue, Milton Street and the IC Railrond. George Thomason, executive board member and architect, had given his opinion that the property would be very adequate for a council office service center. IV. PROPOSAL OF RAILROAD OFFICIAL~: Bill Wofford reported that he had talked to railroad officials with Paul Borda and Frank .Jemison. At one time it seemed possible that the council could obtain a long term lease with an option to buy the property at a sale price of $50,000. The latest information indicated that the railroad would probably require $75,000 with no lease arrangements. Mr. Wofford elabrated on the ideal location of this property and suggested that the council should offar the railroad $50,000 and work out arrangements to pay the total amount out over as long a period of time as could be arranged. V. COMMENTS FROM THOSLJRESENT.: Frank Jemison concurred that the site seemed to be ideal for a Scout office building and could be very effectively utilized. He said that he felt that the council needs to make definite plans as early as possible for an office service center and plans for a capital campaign. He pointed out that any proposal submitted by the council should be contingent on obtaining proper zoning to errect an office building. Clyde Wentz reported that the camping and activities committee would be requesting approval for money from capital funds for work to be done on the council camps so care should be taken not to deplete these funds to the point where this work could not be done, �- 2George Phillips expressed his opinion that the council needed to include everything in one complete capital campaign for camp development and office site and building, He felt that it was necessary to get the money first in a well organized capital campaign projectin g all the needs, Rembert Donelson expressed his opinion that the council should proceed to get the property if proper terms could be secured. Jim Carmichael thought that the council should make the original offer to the railroad with the $50,000 sale price. Charles Crump stated that it is difficult to raise money to pay can best be raised to prov:Lcie funds for well thought out plans, that it be determine d if the IC Railroad would give the council least one yeiir to purchase the property at $50",000. This would estimates of total needs and organize a capital funds campaign. debts but money He suggested an option of at give time to get COlWLUSIO!'J.: President Borda announced that no decision would be made st this meeting. It would be brought up for discussio n at the next regular board meeting on April 9.

BOX 2306 1.(943 SOUTH LAMAR PARKWAY STATION EAST me mp his, tennessee March 18, 1965 Mr. Herbert Humphreys Chairman of the Board HumKo Corporation 130 0 Sterick Building Memphis, Tennessee Dear Herb: All of us on the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council of Boy Scouts of America, Inc. are most grateful to you fer the splendid help you are giving us in obtaining suitable property for the proposed new Boy Scout headquarters building. As you know, since the fall of 1964, the Boy Scouts have been negotiating with Mr. F. J, Duggan, superintendent of Illinois-Central here in Memphis, through Mr. W. C, Wofford, with the objective of either purchasing or leasing the Illinois-Central property at Central and Milton Avenue in Memphis. At all times, Mr. Duggan has been most cooperative and has been working closely with the Chickasaw Council. A few weeks ago, Mr. W. C. Wofford was informed by Mr. F. J. Duggan that a land trade offer had been proposed from others for this property. Mr. Duggan indicated that there was an excellent chance that the Boy Scouts could still acquire this property on the terms outlined in the attached letter. Mr. Duggan said he would recommend to the Chicago office that they accept this proposal ·from the Boy Scouts along the lines as outlined here. He reported that the lease amount for the land was based upon a standard :.formula used by the IllinoisCentral for their properties which are leased to others. The Executive Committee of the Chickasaw Council met at 7:30 p.m. on March 4 and approved the tentative proposal for the consideration and final approval ' of Chickasaw Council's full Executive Board which would meet on March 12, 1965. ' • . .....,,,.,.,.,.· �c_: ~ ~I \\ti Mr. Herbert Humphreys March 18, 1965 Page 2 Mr. Duggan had recommended the sale price to be proposed by Chickasaw Council and the lease amount. Since the attached proposal was recommended by Mr. Duggan, and worked out according to his suggestion, it was his opinion that it would be approved by the Illinois-Central Chicago office. On Monday, March 5, the Scouts were advised that the Memphis Realty Company was negotiating a trade of some land on Florida Avenue for the Central-Milton property under discussion, and that the Illinois-Central preferred to make this deal since it was to the best financial interest of the Railroad. Memphis Realty Company then contacted Mr. Paul Borda, the president of Chickasaw Council, with the suggestion that.the Council enter into a purchase and transfer arrangement so that the Council would purchase some Florida Avenue property for $7 5, 000, and that this property would be traded to the Railroad for the Central Avenue property. As you can see from the attached letter, this is $25, 000 more than the $50, 000 sale price originally recommended by Mr. F, J. Duggan. The Council then met with Mr. Fred Heimlicher of the Illinois-Central Railroad who stated again that the interest of the Railroad had to be protected through a property trade, and that he would proceed to let the real estate man develop the proposed exchange to a conclusion. This evidently superceded the work and opinion of Mr, F. J. Duggan. Herb, the Chickasaw Council cannot afford to pay the $75, 000 price on a property exchange, and of course, is very anxious to obtain this property at the original $50, 000 figure suggested by the Illinois-Central . Of course, it would also be most happy to lease the property un<~er the terms suggested by Mr. Duggan. Since Mr. W. A. Johnson, president and chairman of the Executive Committee of the Illinois-Central , is vitally interested in Scouting, we thought that perhaps he could make certain suggestions and recommendation s 1'\hich would favor the Boy Scouts in this situation. We would be most thankful to you and to Mr. Johnson for any other · help you can give us in this transaction. Sincerely, ! -,~ () r-~---' Frank Z.

Huskey Scout Executive Chickasaw Council, No. 558 Memphis, Tennessee REPORT TO COUNCIL Dear Jones: Thank you for the good hospitality and good company for rrry short visit to Memphis. I appreciated the opportunity to meet your president and to meet with the architect for your proposed council office project. We reviewed with the architect, in a general way, what should be included in a plan to meet your needs for a council office building. I used design sheets D545, D546, D548, D561, D562, D564, D565, D566, D568, D569, D580, D586, D589 and D590 to illustrate representative layouts. Most of what we discussed is covered in the booklet "Design and Planning of a Council Office Building". However, I did stress the following points to you. 1. Prepare to sell your office project to one, or to very few potential donors. In order to do this, you must select the right site, design a building that will meet your staff and administrative needs for about 8 years and then estimate the cost of the total project including land, building, architect's fees, furnishings and equipment, landscaping and parking area development. 2. Do not compromise with what is really needed to provide a fUnctional and representative office, that will be easy to maintain through the years. An individual or foundation able to finance such a project, 01· a major portion of such a project, wants the project to be representative of them and of the highest possible community appreciationfor Scouting. 3. Use the criteria of a good office site from the planning booklet. If the Illinois Central site does not work out, then enlarge the site selection comw.ittee, spell out the requirements specifically and let the enlarged committee seek additional leads. 4. Do not talk figures (square feet or dollars) until the site has been selected and the actual preliminary plan agreed upon. 5. ClarifY the contract with the architect before expecting him to do more work on preliminary plans. Use the architects as advisors in site selection. Use total architectural services. The architect agreed to prepare the furnishings and decorating plan on paper. �Memphis, Tenn. March 17, 1965 -2- 6. You have a real job to do in defining the requirements for the office. I gave you an outline of a proposed architectural program, D660. The work you do now in projecting staff organization and space needs will save you and the architects much time in arriving at the right floor plans. 7. It would be good for you, the architect and key members of the Building Committee to visit existing council office buildings. You might include Little Rock, Hattiesburg, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Tyler, Fort Worth. Use the mimeographed Principles of Good Council Office Layout, D651, to judge the effectiveness of each office you visit. We will be most anxious to work with you as this project develops. Be sure to get a chance to review any preliminary plans and also the working drawings when they are produced. You have an order form for materials. Write to me whenever you think I might be of help. Since this is a second round for you, I will expect a truly outstanding office project in Memphis, before too many years go by. I will look forward to spending a little more time in Memphis on rrry next trip. Scoutfully, PROGRAM DIVISION .Q"-·"'~ {;. J':M. c<.,> JL,;;r'Lt Don A.

Bill Sikes, Fred Heimlicher, Jr. and F. J. Duggan was unable to attend, For Boy Scouts of America were. Paul Borda and W. c. Wofford, chairman of service center committee. HISTORY OF NEGOTIATIONS: Effords to purchase subject property began in September 1964. Contact was made by Mr. Wofford with Mr. F. J. Duggan, superintendent of Illinois Central. Illinois Central always prefers to trade rather than to sell property, but in this case, since there appeared to be no prospects of a trade, arrangements were made to secure appraisals and to establish a sales price, Much of this had to be worked out with the Illinois Central Land and Tax Departments in Chicago. In the interim Mr. W, A. Johnston, president and chairman, Executive Committee of Illinois Central, was advised by Mr. Herbert Humphreys, chairman Humko Products and member of Illinois Central Board of Directors, of the efforts being made locally in behalf of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Johnston advised Mr. Humphreys that we would hear from Mr. Duggan concerning this proposed acquisition, Approximately two weeks ago Mr. Wofford was informed by Mr. Duggan that a land trade of fer had developed and that for this reason the probable acquisition by the Boy Scouts did not seem likely. On Thursday, March 4, Mr. Wofford was invited to a meeting with Mr. Duggan, Mr. Sikes and l'!r. Dick Jones of the Illinois Central during which a proposition essentially described in the attached letter was made to Illinois Central with the understanding that this proposal had to be approved by the Illinois Central home office and would also be submitted to the Chickasaw Council Executive Board for consideration and approval. A committee composed of the recipients of this report met at 7: 30 P .M., March 4, and approved the tentative proposal for the consideration of the executive board on March 12, 1965. On Monday, March 5 we were again advised that the Memphis Realty Company was negotiating a trade of some land on Florida Avenue for the property under discussion on Central Avenue and that Illinois Central preferred to make this deal for the financial benefit of the railroad. Mr. Bethel Hunt of the Memphis Realty Company was asked to contact the writer to see if we could enter into a purchase and transfer arrangement so that Chickasaw Council would buy the Florida Avenue property for $75,000 and that this property would then be traded to the railroad in exchange for the Central Avenue property. This proposition was considered too expensive for the Boy Scouts of America and after reviewing the entire negotiations with Mr. Heimlicher over the telephone decided on a meeting to be held in his office on March 10, which has just been concluded. DECISION REACHED IN MEETING WITH MR. HEIMLICHER: A great deal of discussion ensued. It was pointed out that the Boy Scouts of America had been dealing entirely with Mr. Duggan of Illinois Central and we felt that negotiations or bargaining should continue with the railroad representatives rather than with a real estate man. It was agreed that: since Mr. Heimlicher felt that the interest of the railroad had to be protected through a property trade, he should proceed to let the real estate man develop the proposed deal to a conclusion, Mr. Heimlicher set a ten day limit to close the property deal with the real estate company. If it is not closed in ten days, we will be advised so we may resume and finalize negotiation for purchase. �c0 p y ---- MMc.h 4, 1965 Mil.. F11.tmc.U J.

In retrospec t, this handbook probably served WOPC needs better than H cl:ld thos€ of the psrti.cipa ting agencies.

I have talked to Ken by telephone and have made a revision of your letter in order to emphasize the fact that the Council is the only legal entity with power to accept a bequest on behalf of the Seminole Branch or the North, South and Central Districts. I am sending a rough draft of the revision to Harold and also Shep Tate for their examination and approval. once they approve, then you should put it on Council stationery tor Harold's signature. I request that both Harold and Shep examine the revision very carefully and make any correction they deell'. advisable. / ./ . l S1n7ere 1 y v5urs, !t1///: ,7l' );: ~iewton P. t:nc.

Clark, Jr. Mccloy, Wellford & Clark Attorneys at Law First National Bank Building Memphis, Tennessee 38103 Dear Mr. Clark: Thank you for your letter of February 6, 1969 informing us that you represent the Estate of C. M. Gooch, who made provision in his Last Will and Testament for a bequest for the use and benefit of '"l'he Boy Scouts of America, Memphis, Tennessee, Seminole Branch". In answer to your question about the "Seminole Branch", we would like to inform you as follows: 1. The correct name of the Seminole Branch was the Seminole Division. 2. The Seminole Division was a part of the Chickasaw Council BSA, Inc. 'I'he division was not a legal entity in and of itself. The only legal entity with power to accept the bequest on behalf of the Seminole Division (Branch) is the Chickasaw Council BSA, Inc. 3. The Seminole Division served Negro Scouts. Several years ago the executive board of the 4. Chickasaw Council officially sub-divided the Seminole Division into three districts, known as the North, South and Central Districts of the Chickasaw Council, in order to improve operations and give Negroes better representation on the executive board. 5. The North, South and Central Districts of the Chickasaw Council are part of the Chickasaw Council just as the Seminole Division (Branch) was a part of the Council. They occupy the same legal status as the old Seminole Division (Branch) except that the chairmen of these three districts are represented on the executive board of the Council. These three districts are not legal entities in and of themselves. 6. Whereas Negro camping facilities used to be segregated, Negro Scouts now use the same camping facilities as other Scouts in our Council. As you know, camping cqnstitutes a very important part of Scouting and the funds to be derived for such purposes under Mr. Gooch's Will are greatly needed and will benefit large numbers of Scouts. �-27. With reference to the particular portion of the Will to which you call my attention by your letter, I should emphasize that the "Seminole Branch" has not ceased to exist; its name has been changed so that it is no\:T''known as the North, Couth and Central Districts, but it continues to serve Negro Scouts 1 8. The Chickasaw Council BSA, Inc. on behalf of its North, South and Central Districts (formerly known as the Seminole Division (Branch)) of the Chickasaw Council hereby accepts with gratitude the bequest made to "The Boy Scouts of America, Memphis, Tennessee, Seminole Branch". I wish to add that Scouts and Scouters of the Chickasaw Council are indeed grateful for Mr. Gooch's generosity in the furtherance of the proper development of the youth of this area. I can think of no time when the young people of this country are in greater need of the excellent influence of Scouting. We are taking the liberty of sending a copy of this letter to Mrs. Gooch in order to express to her also our sincere thanks and appreciation for her husband's beneficence. Sincerely, H. L. Steinkamp President cc: Mrs. C. M. Gooch Mr. S.

CHICKASAW COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS OF AMER!• MINUTES OF CALLE1) MEETING OF EXECUTIVE BOARD ST. LUKE'S METHODIST CHURCH, APRIL 1, 1965, 7:30 P.M. W. C, Wofford James R. Carmichael Frank Jemison Rembert Donelson C:1 r· £> • !(¥. II, PURPOSE OF MEETING: Tom McGuire Nick Pinter J. P, Tucker Henry Clayton Clyde Wentz Page Brown Paul Borda Charles Crump Jones Huskey President Borda explained that the meeting had been called for the purpose of informing board members of negotiations taking plac.e with officials of the Illinois Central Railroad relative to the possible acquidng of railroad property on Central Avenue as a location for a council office service center. He said that rRilroad officials were pushing for a quick decision by the council, b11t that he would not press for any action at this meeting because of the limited time board members had had to consider any proposal and al.so because small attendance would not necessarily result in representative thinkin3 of the entire board. III. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF ,PROPE~TY: President Borda called on. Bill Wofford, chairman of the office site selection committee, who described and locqted the property on a large city map. It consists of a triangular shaped lot approximately 1. 7 acres in size located in the general area of the fairf\rounds. The triangle is bounded by Central Avenue, Milton Street and the IC Railrond. George Thomason, executive board member and architect, had given his opinion that the property would be very adequate for a council office service center. IV. PROPOSAL OF RAILROAD OFFICIAL~: Bill Wofford reported that he had talked to railroad officials with Paul Borda and Frank .Jemison. At one time it seemed possible that the council could obtain a long term lease with an option to buy the property at a sale price of $50,000. The latest information indicated that the railroad would probably require $75,000 with no lease arrangements. Mr. Wofford elabrated on the ideal location of this property and suggested that the council should offar the railroad $50,000 and work out arrangements to pay the total amount out over as long a period of time as could be arranged. V. COMMENTS FROM THOSLJRESENT.: Frank Jemison concurred that the site seemed to be ideal for a Scout office building and could be very effectively utilized. He said that he felt that the council needs to make definite plans as early as possible for an office service center and plans for a capital campaign. He pointed out that any proposal submitted by the council should be contingent on obtaining proper zoning to errect an office building. Clyde Wentz reported that the camping and activities committee would be requesting approval for money from capital funds for work to be done on the council camps so care should be taken not to deplete these funds to the point where this work could not be done, - 2 - George Phillips expressed his opinion that the council needed to include everything in one complete capital campaign for camp development and office site and building, He felt that it was necessary to get the money first in a well organized capital campaign projecting all the needs, Rembert Donelson expressed his opinion that the council should proceed to get the property if proper terms could be secured. Jim Carmichael thought that the council should make the original offer to the railroad with the $50,000 sale price. Charles Crump stated that it is difficult to raise money to pay debts but money can best be raised to prov:Lcie funds for well thought out plans, He suggested that it be determined if the IC Railroad would give the council an option of at least one yeiir to purchase the property at $50",000. This would give time to get estimates of total needs and organize a capital funds campaign. COlWLUSIO!'J.: President Borda announced that no decision would be made st this meeting. It would be brought up for discussion at the next regular board meeting on April 9. The Scout executive was instructed to send information about the property to board members along with the mcct.ing notice in order that they be better prepared for discussion.

Holiday Inn East, Montgomery, Ala. March 18, 1965 Mr. Herbert Humphreys Chairman of the Board HumKo Corporation 130 0 Sterick Building Memphis, Tennessee Dear Herb: P.O. BOX 1.(943 LAMAR STATION 2306 SOUTH PARKWAY EAST me mp his, tennessee All of us on the Executive Board of the Chickasaw Council of Boy Scouts of America, Inc. are most grateful to you fer the splendid help you are giving us in obtaining suitable property for the proposed new Boy Scout headquarters building. As you know, since the fall of 1964, the Boy Scouts have been negotiating with Mr. F. J, Duggan, superintendent of Illinois-Central here in Memphis, through Mr. W. C, Wofford, with the objective of either purchasing or leasing the Illinois-Central property at Central and Milton Avenue in Memphis. At all times, Mr. Duggan has been most cooperative and has been working closely with the Chickasaw Council. A few weeks ago, Mr. W. C. Wofford was informed by Mr. F. J. Duggan that a land trade offer had been proposed from others for this property. Mr. Duggan indicated that there was an excellent chance that the Boy Scouts could still acquire this property on the terms outlined in the attached letter. Mr. Duggan said he would recommend to the Chicago office that they accept this proposal ·from the Boy Scouts along the lines as outlined here. He reported that the lease amount for the land was based upon a standard :.formula used by the IllinoisCentral for their properties which are leased to others. The Executive Committee of the Chickasaw Council met at 7:30 p.m. on March 4 and approved the tentative proposal for the consideration and final approval ' of Chickasaw Council's full Executive Board which would meet on March 12, 1965. ' ..... ,,,.,.,.,.· . ~ c_: ~ \\ti I w , ~~-·~·;' Mr. Herbert Humphreys March 18, 1965 Page 2 Mr. Duggan had recommended the sale price to be proposed by Chickasaw Council and the lease amount. Since the attached proposal was recommended by Mr. Duggan, and worked out according to his suggestion, it was his opinion that it would be approved by the Illinois-Central Chicago office. On Monday, March 5, the Scouts were advised that the Memphis Realty Company was negotiating a trade of some land on Florida Avenue for the Central-Milton property under discussion, and that the Illinois-Central preferred to make this deal since it was to the best financial interest of the Railroad. Memphis Realty Company then contacted Mr. Paul Borda, the president of Chickasaw Council, with the suggestion that.the Council enter into a purchase and transfer arrangement so that the Council would purchase some Florida Avenue property for $7 5, 000, and that this property would be traded to the Railroad for the Central Avenue property. As you can see from the attached letter, this is $25, 000 more than the $50, 000 sale price originally recommended by Mr. F, J. Duggan. The Council then met with Mr. Fred Heimlicher of the Illinois-Central Railroad who stated again that the interest of the Railroad had to be protected through a property trade, and that he would proceed to let the real estate man develop the proposed exchange to a conclusion. This evidently superceded the work and opinion of Mr, F. J. Duggan. Herb, the Chickasaw Council cannot afford to pay the $75, 000 price on a property exchange, and of course, is very anxious to obtain this property at the original $50, 000 figure suggested by the Illinois-Central. Of course, it would also be most happy to lease the property un<~er the terms suggested by Mr. Duggan. Since Mr. W. A. Johnson, president and chairman of the Executive Committee of the Illinois-Central, is vitally interested in Scouting, we thought that perhaps he could make certain suggestions and recommendations 1'\hich would favor the Boy Scouts in this situation. We would be most thankful to you and to Mr. Johnson for any other · help you can give us in this transaction. Sincerely, ! -,~ () r-~---' Frank Z.

Huskey Scout Executive Chickasaw Council, No. Memphis, Tennessee Dear Jones: March 17, 1965 558 REPORT TO COUNCIL Thank you for the good hospitality and good company for rrry short visit to Memphis. I appreciated the opportunity to meet your president and to meet with the architect for your proposed council office project. We reviewed with the architect, in a general way, what should be included in a plan to meet your needs for a council office building. I used design sheets D545, D546, D548, D561, D562, D564, D565, D566, D568, D569, D580, D586, D589 and D590 to illustrate representative layouts. Most of what we discussed is covered in the booklet "Design and Planning of a Council Office Building". However, I did stress the following points to you. 1. Prepare to sell your office project to one, or to very few potential donors. In order to do this, you must select the right site, design a building that will meet your staff and administrative needs for about 8 years and then estimate the cost of the total project including land, building, architect's fees, furnishings and equipment, landscaping and parking area development. 2. Do not compromise with what is really needed to provide a fUnctional and representative office, that will be easy to maintain through the years. An individual or foundation able to finance such a project, 01· a major portion of such a project, wants the project to be representative of them and of the highest possible community appreciationfor Scouting. 3. Use the criteria of a good office site from the planning booklet. If the Illinois Central site does not work out, then enlarge the site selection comw.ittee, spell out the requirements specifically and let the enlarged committee seek additional leads. 4. Do not talk figures (square feet or dollars) until the site has been selected and the actual preliminary plan agreed upon. 5. ClarifY the contract with the architect before expecting him to do more work on preliminary plans. Use the architects as advisors in site selection. Use total architectural services. The architect agreed to prepare the furnishings and decorating plan on paper. Memphis, Tenn. -2- March 17, 1965 6. You have a real job to do in defining the requirements for the office. I gave you an outline of a proposed architectural program, D660. The work you do now in projecting staff organization and space needs will save you and the architects much time in arriving at the right floor plans. 7. It would be good for you, the architect and key members of the Building Committee to visit existing council office buildings. You might include Little Rock, Hattiesburg, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Tyler, Fort Worth. Use the mimeographed Principles of Good Council Office Layout, D651, to judge the effectiveness of each office you visit. We will be most anxious to work with you as this project develops. Be sure to get a chance to review any preliminary plans and also the working drawings when they are produced. You have an order form for materials. Write to me whenever you think I might be of help. Since this is a second round for you, I will expect a truly outstanding office project in Memphis, before too many years go by. I will look forward to spending a little more time in Memphis on rrry next trip. DM:bd cc: Mr. Speedy-Mr. Spear Region 5 Scoutfully, PROGRAM DIVISION . Q"-·"'~ {;. J':M. c<.,> JL,;;r'Lt Don A.

JACKSON 5-2351 March 10, 1965 Sent to: Bill Wofford, Alvan F. Tate, Jr., Jim Carmichael, George Phillips, ~~George Thomaso{l, Shepherd Tate, Clyde Wentz, Clyde Lambert and Frank Jemison. TO: MEMBERS OF OFFICE SERVICE CENTER DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE: Gentlemen: Some of you may not know this, but since the meeting at my house last Thursday night the entire picture of acquistion of land on Central Avenue has completely changed. I wanted to bring you up to date and let you know what has transpired and where we now stand by sending you the attached report. Obviously, many things were discussed which cannot be shown in this brief report, but the important facts are here. It is my thinking that there is nothing to be gained by discussing this at Friday's board meeting because but very few board members know of what transpired last week and consquently there is no need for explanation. I can assure you that we will look forward to hearing from Illinois Central within ten days and that even now we will proceed to find another location if at all possible and hope that we can find one that is even better than the one we have been considering. The proposition Bethel Hunt made was for us to buy the Florida Avenue property for $75,000 and we felt it was much in excess of the value of the Central property. Furthermore, we did not feel that we should deal with a real estate man after all these months of dealing with the railroad officials, and paying far more for the property than we had planned which includes substantial commissions to the real estate msn. Please feel free to call me if you wish any further details.

HISTORY OF NEGOTIATIONS: Effords to purchase subject property began in September 1964. Contact was made by Mr. Wofford with Mr. F. J. Duggan, superintendent of Illinois Central. Illinois Central always prefers to trade rather than to sell property, but in this case, since there appeared to be no prospects of a trade, arrangements were made to secure appraisals and to establish a sales price, Much of this had to be worked out with the Illinois Central Land and Tax Departments in Chicago. In the interim Mr. W, A. Johnston, president and chairman, Executive Committee of Illinois Central, was advised by Mr. Herbert Humphreys, chairman Humko Products and member of Illinois Central Board of Directors, of the efforts being made locally in behalf of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Johnston advised Mr. Humphreys that we would hear from Mr. Duggan concerning this proposed acquisition, Approximately two weeks ago Mr. Wofford was informed by Mr. Duggan that a land trade of fer had developed and that for this reason the probable acquisition by the Boy Scouts did not seem likely. On Thursday, March 4, Mr. Wofford was invited to a meeting with Mr. Duggan, Mr. Sikes and l'!r. Dick Jones of the Illinois Central during which a proposition essentially described in the attached letter was made to Illinois Central with the understanding that this proposal had to be approved by the Illinois Central home office and would also be submitted to the Chickasaw Council Executive Board for consideration and approval. A committee composed of the recipients of this report met at 7: 30 P .M., March 4, and approved the tentative proposal for the consideration of the executive board on March 12, 1965. On Monday, March 5 we were again advised that the Memphis Realty Company was negotiating a trade of some land on Florida Avenue for the property under discussion on Central Avenue and that Illinois Central preferred to make this deal for the financial benefit of the railroad. Mr. Bethel Hunt of the Memphis Realty Company was asked to contact the writer to see if we could enter into a purchase and transfer arrangement so that Chickasaw Council would buy the Florida Avenue property for $75,000 and that this property would then be traded to the railroad in exchange for the Central Avenue property. This proposition was considered too expensive for the Boy Scouts of America and after reviewing the entire negotiations with Mr. Heimlicher over the telephone decided on a meeting to be held in his office on March 10, which has just been concluded. DECISION REACHED IN MEETING WITH MR. HEIMLICHER: A great deal of discussion ensued. It was pointed out that the Boy Scouts of America had been dealing entirely with Mr. Duggan of Illinois Central and we felt that negotiations or bargaining should continue with the railroad representatives rather than with a real estate man. It was agreed that: since Mr. Heimlicher felt that the interest of the railroad had to be protected through a property trade, he should proceed to let the real estate man develop the proposed deal to a conclusion, Mr. Heimlicher set a ten day limit to close the property deal with the real estate company. If it is not closed in ten days, we will be advised so we may resume and finalize negotiation for purchase. c 0 p y ---- Mil.. F11.tmc.U J.

Because I lW-nted to get to you information as promptly as I could, i·rc have not made a field survey, but ·He estimate tr1at ti1e available area is about 'tl·JO acres. Until recently, ~,rhen the section f'orcman retired and vacated the premises, this property has been used as a site for section &·iellings, at least since 1906. The house and several out-buildings are in poor condition and have little if any value. This is a high class single family residential area a.r:i.d is zoned R-3. If m~r information is correct, under this zoning it is permissible to construct duple:x apartments on min:imu.rn. lots of 5,000 square feet. Standard npnrtmcnt houso construction 1·rill requi.re n ... h. zoning, and I a1a inforinod thnt :it Hill be difficult to have the zonine changed.

Huskey Scout Executive INFORMATION ON CHICKASAW COUNCIL OFFICE BUILDING Our present location in the M & M Building is very unsatisfactory for many reasons including the following: a. It is not nearly as accessible as it should be. b. Parking is almost impossible. c. Elevator service is extremely poor. d. Express and freight delivery cannot be made to our office. e. Upkeep of the building is negligible. f. Our space is adequate but does not permit an arrangement for efficient operation. g. The environment does nothing positive for the prestige of our organization. You can see just from these few items that it is imperative that we move just as soon ss we can find a place to improve our situation, Here are some of the things that we need to think about in providing an adequate office service center: a. A building located near the geographical center of the dty. b. A location easily accessible by major through streets. c. A ground floor service center (approximately 5,000 square feet). d. Adequate parking area adjacent to the building. e. An attractive btilding properly designed for our operation with provisions for future expansion'~ f. An office service center that will definitely improve our public image. Mr. w. c. Wofford 1074 s.

Clark, Jr. Mccloy, Wellford & Clark Attorneys at Law First National Bank Building Memphis, Tennessee 38103 Dear Mr. Clark: March 3, 1969 Thank you for your letter of February 6, 1969 informing us that you represent the Estate of C. M. Gooch, who made provision in his Last Will and Testament for a bequest for the use and benefit of '"l'he Boy Scouts of America, Memphis, Tennessee, Seminole Branch". In answer to your question about the "Seminole Branch", we would like to inform you as follows: 1. The correct name of the Seminole Branch was the Seminole Division. 2. The Seminole Division was a part of the Chickasaw Council BSA, Inc. 'I'he division was not a legal entity in and of itself. The only legal entity with power to accept the bequest on behalf of the Seminole Division (Branch) is the Chickasaw Council BSA, Inc. 3. The Seminole Division served Negro Scouts. 4. Several years ago the executive board of the Chickasaw Council officially sub-divided the Seminole Division into three districts, known as the North, South and Central Districts of the Chickasaw Council, in order to improve operations and give Negroes better representation on the executive board. 5. The North, South and Central Districts of the Chickasaw Council are part of the Chickasaw Council just as the Seminole Division (Branch) was a part of the Council. They occupy the same legal status as the old Seminole Division (Branch) except that the chairmen of these three districts are represented on the executive board of the Council. These three districts are not legal entities in and of themselves. 6. Whereas Negro camping facilities used to be segregated, Negro Scouts now use the same camping facilities as other Scouts in our Council. As you know, camping cqnstitutes a very important part of Scouting and the funds to be derived for such purposes under Mr. Gooch's Will are greatly needed and will benefit large numbers of Scouts. -2- 7. With reference to the particular portion of the Will to which you call my attention by your letter, I should emphasize that the "Seminole Branch" has not ceased to exist; its name has been changed so that it is no\:T''known as the North, Couth and Central Districts, but it continues to serve Negro Scouts 1 8. The Chickasaw Council BSA, Inc. on behalf of its North, South and Central Districts (formerly known as the Seminole Division (Branch)) of the Chickasaw Council hereby accepts with gratitude the bequest made to "The Boy Scouts of America, Memphis, Tennessee, Seminole Branch". I wish to add that Scouts and Scouters of the Chickasaw Council are indeed grateful for Mr. Gooch's generosity in the furtherance of the proper development of the youth of this area. I can think of no time when the young people of this country are in greater need of the excellent influence of Scouting. We are taking the liberty of sending a copy of this letter to Mrs. Gooch in order to express to her also our sincere thanks and appreciation for her husband's beneficence. cc: Mrs. C. M. Gooch Mr. S.
