Davis Comptroller City of Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Charles: Thank you for your recent letter regarding the Finance Committee's action in levying an additional one-half mill tax and earmarking such funds for the use of the Parks Department. In your letter, you asked that I develop a list of the emergency operating needs of this department for the remainder of 1967; and, you further requested that in compiling my list of needs, I take in consideration the grants promised by Bconomic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. Let me say here that we have only been promised $160,000 not two to three hundred thousand dollars as your letter tndicates. However, there is a possibility that Congress will eee @ supplementa] appropriations bill which will amount to some 75,000,000 and out of this EOA may get additional funds for recreation. The problem is that the summer is already here and I must begin to move and move rapidly and I cannot wait on various decisions up and down the line. I am attaching a synopsis of the proposal submitted to Economic Opportunity that covers the operation of seven different and distinct recreation and cultural activities. They age listed in the order of priority and you will note that on page two there is a recap of the cash grants requested from BOA, The cash grant comes to $381,695.70. EOA has assured us of only $160,000. Thus, if no additional BOA funds materialize, from the City we will need $121,000. An additional sum will be needed from the City in the event that we wish to extend the hours of operation of community centers located in non-disadvantaged areas. We have included in this proposal to BOA only those facilities which will directly serve citizens of the poverty target areas. Mr, Charles Lb. Davis Page Two If you desire, I can supply you with a more complete breakdown as to how we arrived at salaries, travel expenses, equipment, etc. I assume that for the present, the attached synopsis is sufficient for your purposes. We have not included the $53,000 set aside for playlot salaries in computing the additional funds needed from BOA in that we would like to return this sum of money to our regular salary accounts and thus “unfreeze” a number of positions. Finally, Miss Carmichael has proceeded to requistion playground equipment and portable toilets using City funds. She knows her accounts will be in the red? however, we can transfer funds when EOA makes their grant.

As of last Thursday, the Land Agent was endeavoring to secure a lease on a lot facing Pryor Street across from the Pryor Street School. This is only one of several locations we are attempting to . secur and convert into a play facility for this summer. We have had some problems with the staffing of the Dodd Avenue Recreation Center; at the present time, there are four people assigned to this facility. We selected a resident of the community who we thought would be ideal in that he is in touch with the wishes and desires of a number of people. However, speaking candidly, some poor relation- ship has existed between this individual and the other three staff members. We are presently evaluating the best thing to do in the interest of the community towards chang- ing the staff or making reassignment.

Dear Senator Russell, I enclose copy of Mr.Barker's answer to our last letter (4-28-67) of which I sent you a copy at that time, We do not want to make a political issue of this, but we do want Dr.Creech to know that we have the fa- cilities and scientists here in Atlanta for all possible care against pests and diseases. We have Dr.Buchanan, who is connected with the United States Forestry Service, in his office right in Piedmont Park, coordinating city, state, and federal pest and dis- ease control, We have Mr.B.Oortman, Chief Horticulturist for the City of Atlanta, with his office in Piedmont Park, and previously with Fraser's Nursery in Birmingham, Alabama, where many trees imported from all over the world were in his care, We have Mr.Carl Scott,Jr., Head of the Ento-= mology Division of Georgia Department of Agriculture, and his staff, on call at any time and making regular inspections, We have Dr.Woolford Baker, professor of bio=- logy, from Emory University, and himself quite interested in bon- sai; Mr.Fred Galle, Head of Horticulture at Callaway Gardens, vice- president of the American Horticulture Society, and among our own members: Dr.Osman=-Hill of the Yerkes Primate Center, and Drs. Phelps and Miller of CDC. Every single member of our society is vi- tally concerned with pest-control. One attack of borers can ruin a bonsai forever. It may live, but the beautiful shape attained after years of patient care and training is destroyed. ven an attack of red spider mites disfigures an evergreen for not less than 3 years and may kill it. Japanese beetle larvae are fatal to azaleas and even aphids cause serious virus trouble with quince and other members of the rose family. We all strenuously use the most modern in- ventions of systemics, soil sterlization, and disease control, and we certainly do not want anything brought into our area which will cause us any grief. Our trees are too valuable in terms of both time and money to take any such risks. Bonsai are not like other plants left to grow themselves. Members inspect all their own trees daily while watering and grooming then. Dr. Stephens himself, formerly connected with the U.S.Forestry Service, gave us much frequent advice on the use of systemics and hygienic measures, and was experimenting with MSD on his own trees at the time of his death. -_ _——_— aaa eae r r ol ™ = » & -*¥ (COPY) ATLANTA BONSAI SOCIETY, p.2 | We feel that it is an imposition on the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to take up their space, equipment and time when we have just as good facilities and qualified men here. Also we want the people of the Southeastern Area to have the privilege of secing a living bonsai-masterpiece, Which is a work of art just as a sculpture is in its category. This is just one of many such trees for display which we hope to import through the years and must set the precedent of our caring for them ourselves, We are also fortunate in having a climate very similar to that of Japan (so that the tree would be much better off, here, than at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden) and the : art of Growing bonsai is becoming very popular here among the horticulturally discerning. (As you know, we have individuals in 4 Georgia spending large sums for fully-automatic greenhouses to. care for expensive camellias=- they have their Camellia Society- also people devoted to azaleas, alpine vlants, and fabulous col- lections of roses, who eventually find that bonsai-growing is the ultimate in horticulture.) We feel, too, that Atlanta has been dis- criminated against in not being designated as an air port-of- entry, and that it would be a good thing for her economy for all kins of air-cargo. In short, we need you to inform Dr, Creech of these facts, berause in the vastness of agricul- ture problems, he may not be aware that Georgia has come to the fore in agricultural technology. We are sending 3 copies of this letter, at his request, to Mr. Stewart finn, Editor of "The Harvester", the Georgia Horticulture Society's publication with over 10,000 readers. Mr.Winn wants to send these copies to:Mr.Fred Galle, vice-president of the American Horticulture Society, Dr. John Creech, Director of Agriculture Research Service, and Dr. Henry Skinner, Director of the National Arboretum, because of his interest in making Atlanta an air port-of-entry for nursery- stock. We are also sending a copy to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. at his request, because of similar interests, and a copy to Mr. Opey Shelton, President of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, knowing his concern with making Atlanta an air port-of-entry. We know you are a very busy man, and little problems like this take as much time as big ones, but to us it is of paramount importance, We are sure that the development of our Bonsai Garden will add lustre to Atlanta's image nationally. Knowing of.your deep interest in Atlanta, Georgia, and the South, and the South's orogress, we ask you: 1. to inform Dr, Creech, of the USDA, of our available facilities and thoroughly capable, above-named scientists, and 2. to help us have Atlanta recognized as an air port-of-entry and as a metro-= polis as progressive as New York City.

W. Atlenta, Georgia 30310 Dear Mr, Burns: Thank you for your letter of June 2, 1967 to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. concerning the conditions of the restrooms at Piedmont Park during the recent Arts Festival. Each year before the Arts Festival is held, we secure special per- mission from the City Comptroller to work on an overtime basis, one laborer to maintain the men's restroom, and one park matron to maintain the ladies’ restroom, Even with this added precaution, the heavy use of both of these facilities at times makes the conditions less than absolutely acceptable, In addition, the physical facilities are old and worn out. Only recently, the first federal assistance became available for the renovation of our older parks such as Piedmont, Chastain, Adems, etc. We hope to do extensive beautification and repair work to these major park facilities in the very near future. However, at the present time, there are no funds specifically earmarked for the restoration of the Concession Building at Piedmont Park. The Piedmont Sgimming Pool, along with four large similar swimming facilities are not filted, and therefore, do not meet the current Fulton County Health Department's regulations. It would be impractical for us, from an engineer- ing viewpoint, for wa to attempt to filter these large bodies of water and we are, therefore, entertaining the idea in our five year capital improve-~- ment program of replacing these fecilities. If funds were available, we would be somewhat reluctant to completely restore the existing Concession Building at Piedmont Park. However, I can assure you that we will do the necessary work to the existing restrooms within the cepacity of our general budget, and assuring you of our sincere appreciation for your interest in this matter, I am Cordially, General Manager of Parks and Recreation JCD imjh  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mrs. Brumby: It was realll a pleasure meeting with you and the other ladies this week to discuss your proposed Beautification Pr_o gram for the Boulevard Area. I wish to assure you that the City of Atlanta, and particulary this department, stands ready in any way and every way to assist you in this worthwhile "self-help" project. We have already had delivered to Mrs. Cantrell of the East Central Neighborhood Center, six attractive orange and white waste receptacles. As you suggested, we will allow the neighborhood to choose the block in which the cans should be placed. It is my understanding that our Dr. Buchanan has contacted you and will meet with your group later next week to discuss the tree planting program and the possibility of beautifying a front yard. Of course, the City of Atlanta cannot spend public funds or use city employees on private property; however, we are glad to give technical advice and assistance and I hope that we could receive private donations from nurseries, etc. for lawn, shrubs, etc. I A very fine young man on our staff, Mr. Stan Ayer, Assistant Parks Engineer, has been briefed on the overall project and is extremely willing and anxious to lend his technical abilities in the design of the planting scheme for the yard so chosen. I look forward to hearing from you and please keep me posted on your progress, I am pordially , I J ck C. Delius cY eral Manager of Parks and Recreation JCD :mjh xr;;;;.

Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mrs. Brumby: It was really a pleasure meeting with you and the other ladies this week to discuss your proposed Beautification Program for the Boulevard Area, I wish to assure you that the City of Atlanta, and particulary this department, stands ready in any way and every way to assist you in this worthwhile "self-help" project. We have already had delivered to Mrs. Cantrell of the East Central Neighborhood Center, six attractive orange and white waste receptacles. As you suggested, we will allow the neighborhood to choose the block in which the cans should be placed. It is my understanding that our Dr. Buchanan has contacted you and will meet with your group later next week to discuss the tree planting program and the possibility of beautifying a front yard. Of course, the City of Atlanta cannot spend public funds or use city employees on private property; however, we are glad to give technical advice and assistance and I hope that we could receive private donations from nurseries, etc. for lawn, shrubs, etc. A very fine young man on our staff, Mr. Stan Ayer, Assistant Parks Engineer, has been briefed on the overall project and is extremely willing and anxious to lend his technical abilities in the design of the planting scheme for the yard so chosen. I look forward to hearing from you and please keep me posted on your progress, I am ‘Cordially \ 3 Jack C.
