Letter in support of rapid transit

Not only do Mayor Allen's records show the years of planning that went into Atlanta's Rapid transit, you can also find letters of support both for or against the project. Here is Roy Christian Kendel's letter of support for MARTA using folksy rhetoric.

Highlight: "While the Yankees get the faster (150 to 183 m.p.h.) trains, and get into the jet-age of rail road passenger trains, we here in the south have to settle for a depleting policy of passenger railroad trains as the malnutriciously anemic skeleton service catering to the Georgians and the Atlantans."
