Anne Wyche reported that her visit with Philip Cecil regarding the renewal of the Paris Main Street low interest loan pool resulted in a pool of $300,000 at 6 percent. Terry Townsend presented two applications for the Paris Main Street Loan pool. Paris Community Theater's application was approved outside of the board and needed no formal board approval. On a motion by Suzy Harper, seconded by Bill Payne, the Paris Main Street Advisory Board unanimously voted to approve the Pets Unlimited application. Planning resumed for the public hearing to be held the first week of June. Terry Townsend will confirm a date with the Paris Community Theater. The Paris Main Street Board will further discuss ordinances at the next month's meeting. The Lamar County Courthouse was discussed with regard to its grant application for renovation being rejected by the Texas Historical Commission. Judge Chuck Superville asked for a group to lead a letter writing campaign and the Paris Main Street Board suggested Bruce Cooper's Spanish Club. Bill Payne suggested that the law office handle the function of helping individuals with inquiries about renovation and rehabilitation. It is therefore no longer required that the Paris Main Street office be manned by board volunteers. The next meeting of the Paris Main Street Advisory Board will be held on Wednesday, May 3, at 3 p.m., in Heritage Hall (adjacent to the Bonham Street Depot). There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Y " Linda Su Suarez, Memb Paris Main Street Advisory Board
