City debates leasing Veterans Memorial Building to Brooks firm
In fall 1963 Brooks Shoe Co occupied the Veterans Memorial Industrial Building on Sylvania Ave for temporary storage and sales, under Mayor Hoffmann, amid informal council discussions. City Solicitor warned that city officials could not lease without bids and proper legal steps, leading to Ordinance No. 1264 on April 13, 1964 authorizing lease to the highest bidder under strict terms.

Brooks Shoe Co Misses Bid To Lease Veterans Memorial Building
The safety-service director announced bids failed to attract any bidders for leasing the Veterans Industrial Memorial Building. City Solicitor William Lavelle noted Brooks Shoe Co did not submit a bid, though they occupy the building currently, and may need more space. The city must re advertise to rent the facility while urging Brooks to reveal expansion plans to guide local officials and the Board of Trade.
