STEVE HANNAGAN Miami Beach, Fla. , March 3, 1931. The Mayor and City Council, City of Miami Beach Florida. Gentlemen, Expanding my activities in publicity immediately follow— ing the close of my present contract with the City of Miami Beach, I am opening in New York City a permanent office which enables me, with my organization, to offer an even more complete publicity service for the City of Miami Beach in the future. Whereas in the past my services have been contracted for a period of approximately twenty weeks, it now is possible to offer you, at no increase in price, the year around benefit of publicity counsel. It is my suggestion that the publicity bureau operate intensively between November 1st and April 1st, as it has in the past several years. The office would open late in October or early November. I would come here with Joe Copps and lay out the early season work. As rapidly as possibilities of manufacturing news provided, the staff would be increased with photo— graphers and reporters, as it has been in the past, until a complete organization would be in service during the peak of the season. After laying out the early season plans in November, I would return to my office in New York contacting our news disseminating outlets and return to Miami Beach for two weeks before the first of the year. I would then return to New York to bolster up our activities in the North. The first of February I would come to Miami Beach to remain here through the season of intense activity. This will give us constantly an immediate contact with our New York and other Northern outlets for news and pictures. STEVE HANNAGAN Miami Beach, Fla. , March 3, 1131. — 2 — The Mayor and City Council It will enhance our publicity service to the community to an appreciable degree. Throughout the year my New York office will be in constant touch to give Miami Beach any publicity service required. I point out that the New York staff will be made up largely of men and women who have been working with me on Miami Beach publicity for many years, and are therefore acquainted and sympathetic with all of our problems. I offer this service for a fee of $5,000, payable either monthly throughout the year, or in installments between November and April, as it has been in the past. It is with some degree of personal satisfaction that I point to the publicity results obtained internationally by my department. Eight years ago when I undertook the publicity task, the City of Miami Beach was considered a part of Miami. Today, Miami Beach is the best known winter resort in America. I am especially proud of the work we have accomplished this year when, even with weather that was anything but helpful, we were able to secure a larger volume of exceedingly more helpful news of Miami Beach in publica ions tha ever before.
