Dear Sign O,,lner:
Attached is a copy of a January L3, 1982 letter from our office requiring removal of
abandoned signs at the vacant Salvation Army site, 125 Mill Street, Springfield,Ore-
gon. At this date, the signs are still present on the property. An additional prob-
lem has since arisen on the property in question. It appears that donated items are
still be'ing deposited on the loading dock at the rear of the store. The removal of
the wall sign and pole sign wi1'l undoubtedly alleviate the problem of goods being de-
posited at this site.
Please remove the signs and the deposited items by 15 days from the date of this let-
ter (March 27, 1982). Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated.
Si ncere'ly,
Sal ly son
