Dear Charles:
I
Thank you for your letter . of July 13, 1967, advising us that
the Finance Committee on July 12, 1967, had discussed the problem
of financing additional parks and improvenents1 and, more particularly
reference to the additional State Grant funds by which the Finance
Committee desires to make some portion available to the Parks
Department for additional park sites, etc.
I have called together all of our staff members concerned with
park developrrent and acquisition to very carefully review
priorities on park projects. At the same time, we considered
the City's committment towards the purchase of four urban renewal
park sites located in various areas of the City.
After we completed the attached priority li s t, we revie we d it
with Chairman Leftwich on July 17, 1967. Mr. Leftwich has given
h i s endorsement to the attached proposed disbursement of funds.
Thi s entire priority list is based on the fact that we would
receive some $350,000 from the State grant .
As an expl ana tion to you and by c opy o f th is letter an explanation
to the oth er members of t he Ald e rmanic Parks Commi ttee, I wou ld
like to explain t o you jus t how we arrived at priorities. First
of all; Peyton Road is the only one of the four t e e n parks purchased
s ince 1964 which we have no t allocated a ny funds for the development
o f or have not act ua l ly b orken · ground. In the case of Daniel
Stunton Park Site (People's Town ) , we have under construc tion
t the presenttime a recre ation building and a modest amount of
mo n e y qas been set aside for storm drainage in the park. However,

this will be a case where we will have a completed recreation
building and yet the land immediately surrounding it, etc., will
not be usable. We built the park "backward" only because of
an existing sub-station structure which could be remodeled into
a gymnasium and we felt that having indoor facilities for yearround use took priority over basic site development of the park.
In the case of Harper Park, we would like very much to do the
second stage and this would virtually finish this facility except
for a large project such as possibly a recreation building. In
the case of Gun Club, we are not deviating from our announced
and formal policy of building only neighborhood size pools since
Gun Club is a community size park - the only one purchased under
the 1963 Bond Issue. Some 3900 children live immediately adjacent
to this park site and we have laready installed parking, electrical
condiut, sewerage, water supply, etc., as well as lighting (general)
for the s,;imming pool. If we move rapidly, Stan Martin feels
that one-half the cost ot the swimming pool could be obtained
under the Land and Water Conservation Act. As to Center Hill,
located on Bankhead Highway, this was at one time a fairly well
developed park which fell into disuse and now that the population
has surged we feel that we must use a modest amount of our money
renovating this facility.
It is good level land in an area
deficient of parks and we feel like moving very quickly on it.
As to Benteen, we are under contract for phase one, which will
cover only basic siting and improvements and when we finish this
you can hardly tell that anything has been done - it will
all be under ground. Therefore, we feel like moving very rapidly
into phase two so that the citizens can have something to use.
Thomasville Urban Renewal Park is unusual in that we have already
gone through phase one and are starting phase two and yet have
very little to show the public. It's another case of a lot of
money being spent underground to handle drainage, etc. We feel
however, that the modest additional expenditure of $15,000 would
virtually complete the park except for a swimming pool or recreation
center.
As ot items 8,9,10,
&amp;
11, you have advised me of what
you compute the total cost to be and the fact that the City has
formerly committed itself to purchasing these lands within
urban renewal projects.
The entire priority list, including the purchase of new park lands,
is based on the assumption that the City will get 50¾ assistance
from the Federal government either u nder the open-space program
or the Land and Water Conservation Act.
We still have a considerable nUmber of parks which we should
move into on phase two such as Benteen, Cleveland, Collier, the


f unding of Field Road when it's purchased, Shady Valley, Waters,


recreation buildings for Washington, Butler, University, Wilson
Mill, Wesley, etc.
Mr. Leftwich has asked that in the next few days we have a
ca lled meeting of the Parks Committee to formally endorse this
priority list and I assume that yQu will be reviewing the same

As an explanation to you and by copy of this letter an explanation

like to explain to you just how we arrived at priorities. First

of all, Peyton Road is the only one of the fourteen parks purchased

of or have not actually borken ground. In the case of Daniel

Dear Mr, Dillon:

Thank you very much for your letter of July 11, 1967
addressed to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., concerning your
gracious offer to assist in our recreation program and
facilities.

I think you have an excellent suggestion in the use of
worn out tractors as a play object for children. We
have been considering for several weeks of acquiring an
antiquated jet fighter plane and similar equipment and
build a playlot somewhat like the John F. Kennedy
Memorial Playground in Washington, D. C. Our problem
at the present time is that of all the thirty some odd
playlots that we have leased, we hold only a thirty

day renewable leasehold and we pay no rent. Most of
them are quite small and adequate only to accomodate

a swing, slide, in some instances a portable swimming
pool, and etc. It does not create too much of a hard-
ship when we lose possession of a given playlot since
the equipment is reusable at a permanent park installa-
tion or some other area, However, in the case of more
unorthodox play objects we would be hard pressed to
blend into our master park schemes such objects as

P,T. Boats, jet fighters and tractors.

Being as candid as I possible can, there is another
problem involved in using anything that is new and
unusual in these disadvanted areas. The problem is
that many of the citizens of these areas consider that
we use them as guiena pigs and never consider new
equipment and facilities for them but merely use cast-
off items. We have experienced this to some extent
with our portable swimming pools. I believe @ number

of these people would consider a tractor just another
piece of "junk" and would accuse us of trying to save
funds in not buying swings, slides, jungle-gyms, etc.

Please let me give some more thought to how we might
make use of your excellent suggestion and if I can
find an area in size and location that it is suitable,
I will so advise.

Again, both Mayor Allen and the undersigned deeply
appreciate your personal interest and I am

Cordially,

As directed, an investigation was made at #555 East Anthony Street
N. W. to determine if we could be of assistance in the solution of
a flood problem.
We found that storm water from the streets does not flow into this
drain ditch, and, therefore, responsibility by this Department cannot be justified. However, there is a great volume of storm water
flowing into this ditch from City property belonging to the Parks
Departmens. I believe, it would relieve the problem of this ditch
-overflowing onto this person's property if this water was intercepted
and directed to Proctor Creek. · This could be accomplished by
constructing a bunker at the top of the small ditch bank or by the
grading of a small berm ditch parallel to the existing one.

I am writting you hoping you are able to help me in some wey. I live
at 555 E.Anthony St.N .i·: . ,my back yard is at the base of Maddox Park
where there is a ditch that belongs to the city. When it r a ins t he
ditc h overuns with water, the wat er th e refore b a ck s up i n to my b ackdoor into mJr hous e and my whole do wnst a irs is then flooded wi t h water.
When this h appens I have to send my children to stay at my mother until we c an get t h e hous !E! dry from the water. My baby has .taken pneumonia fro rn t h e lfi'ouse be ing floo ded i n the l ast rains.
I have called the Sewage · and Pa rk Departments concerning the problem,
but I have got no results fro m the departments.
The ditch needs to b e dug de~per or something so that the water will

If ~u can give me any kind of help to s top the the wat e r from flooding my house I would Appreciate your heip •. I feel that you will help

Dear Sir, Eee A Pee, Fez
I am writting you hoping you are able to help me in some way. I live
at 555 E.Anthony St.N.W.,my back yard is at the base of Maddox Park
where there is a ditch that belongs to the city. When it rains the
Qitch overuns with water, the water therefore backs up into my back-—
door into my house and my whole downstairs is then flooded with water.
When this happens I have to send my children to stey at my mother un-
til we can get the house dry from the water. My baby has -taken pneu-
monia from the House being flooded in the last rains.

I have called the Sewage: and Park Depertments concerning the problen,
but I have got no results from the departments.

The ditch needs to be dug degper or something so that the water will
not be overun with water during a rain.

If wou can give me any kind of help to stop the the water from flood—
ing my house I would Appreciate your hebp.. I feel that you will help
me with my problem.

Sincerely yours,

9 SINE acme

As directed, an investigation was made at #555 East Anthony Street

a flood p:lioblem.
We found that storm water from the streets does not flow into this
drain ditch, and, therefore, responsibility by this Department can. not be justified. However, there is a great volume of storm water
flowing into this ditch from City property belonging to the Parks
~ r t me ns. I believe, it would relieve the problem of this ditch
overflowing onto this person's property if this water was intercepted
and directed to Proctor Creek. This could be accomplished by
constructing a bunker at the top of the small ditch bank or by the
·grading of a small berm ditch parallel to the existing one.

I am w-ri tting you hoping you are able to help me in some wa:y. I live
at 555 E.Anthony St.N .H. ,my back yard is at the base of Maddox Park
where there is a ditch that belongs to the city. When it rains the
ditch overuns with water, the water therefore backs up into my bac~cdoor into my house an d my whole downstairs is then flooded with water.
When this h appens I have to send my children to stay at my mother until we can get th e housF dry from the water. My baby has taken pneumonia fro 1!1 the lfi'ouse being flooded in the 18st rains.
I have called the Sewage· and Park Depa.rtments concerning the problem, .
but I have.go t no results fro m the departments.
The ditch needs to be dug de~per or something so that the water will
not' be overun with water during a rain.
If ~u can give me any kind of help to ::.top the the wat e r from flooding my house I would Appreciate your hepp •. I feel that you will help
me with my problem.
Sincerely yours,

I am writting you hoping you are able to help me in some way. I live
at 555 E. Anthony St.N.W.,my back yard is at the base of Maddox Park
where there is a ditch that belongs to the city. When it rains the
ditch overuns with water, the water therefore backs up into my back-—
door into my house and my whole downstairs is then flooded with water.
When this happens I have to send my children to stey at my mother un-
til we can get the house dry from the water. My baby hes taken pneu-
monia from the House being flooded in the lest rains.

Dear Sir,

I have called the Sewage: end Park Depertments concerning the problen,
but I have got no results from the departments.

The ditch needs to be gue deeper or something so that the water will
not be overun with water during a rain.

If wou can give me any kind of help to stop the the water from flood-
ing my house I would Appreciate your hehp.. I feel that you will help

me with my problem.

Sincerely yours,

eke ee Hg

�July 26, 1967
A Called Meeting of the Aldermanic Parks Committee was held on Wednesday,
July 26, 1967 at 2:00 p.m. in the Conference Room of the City Hall Annex.
Present were Aldermen Charlie Leftwich, Buddy Fowlkes, Q. v. Williamson,
and G. Everett Millican. Also present was Mr. R. Earl Lander,
Administrative Assistant to the Mayor, Mr. Charles L. Davis, City
Comptroller, Mr. Woody Underwood of the Comptroller's Staff, Mr. Eric
Harkness of the Planning Department, and Messrs. Jack c. Delius, Stan
Martin, A. P. Brindley, and Stan Ayer, of the Parks Department.
Chairman Leftwich stated that the primary purpose of the called meeti ng
was to discuss the recent allocation of some $35p,ooo by the Finance
Committee to the Department of Parks for emergency-type activities in
the Parks Department. Mr. Leftwich explained that the funds were ,·, :.
allocated only for capital improvements, etc. and were not intended to
be for operating costs and other everyday items. Mr. Leftwich distributed
a preliminary list of priorities drawn up by the Park Staff. A
cons i derable discussion to'ok place by members of the Park Committee
a s to just how priorities should be established and the best ways
to s p e nd the fund. I t was unani mously agreed that whenever and wherever
possible the money should be utilized for projects qualifying unde r
50¾ aid assistance from the Federal government through either the Land
and Water Conservation Act or the Open Space Program. Although additional
park lands are desperately needed and should be purchased while still
a v ai lable, it was generally felt by the Committee that the funds should
be spent on Parks already purchased and owned by the City of Atlanta s o
tha t the se faciliti e s might b e placed in service at the earliest
possibl e d a t e . The Ci ty Comptrolle r h as pointe d out t h at the City o f
Atlanta is officially committed to the purchase in the immediate future
o f an Urban Renewal Park Site in the Western portion of the RawsonWash i ngton Urban Renewa l Area and a park site adjacent to the W. c.
Hills School in the Bedford-Pine Urba n Re n ewal Area. Oth e r urban
renewa l p ark sites were co n sidered too far o ff in the f u t ure t o
commit f und s a t t he present t i me . Alderman Wi lliams on fe lt that the
Peyton Ro ad Proj ect should b e deferred at t h is t ime s i nce i t is in a
middle class community and not a disadvantaged area. The General
Manag er pointed out tha t Peyton Road wa s the only par k site purchased
under t h e 1 9 63 Bond Pr ogr am that had rec e ive d no de velopment o r
alloca t ion o f funds and whi le i n p ri nci ple the majo r ity of the f u nds
should go to disadvantaged areas o f the City , s ome development should
start on the Peyton Road Site. Alderman Fowlkes expressed an opinion
that all the funds should be .used for development, an opinion generally
expressed by the General Manager. Alderman Mil l ican stated that one
of the best ways to use the money would be to light ba l l fields for
night- time use.
The f ollowing list was finally decided upon and received the unanimous
approval of the Parks Committee:

TOTALS
The last item on the proposed budget, number 11, concerns the purchase
of additional park land throughout the City. Alderman Leftwich and other
members of the Committee expressed an opinion that in the event that
e stimates of construction were too low on some of the other projects that
i tem 11 in part at least could be diverted to make up deficits. Stan
Martin, Parks Administrative Assistant, has already requested the City
Planning Department to make a survey to determine where additional park o
lands are needed. Mr. Martin has already requested Mr. Collier Gladin,
t he City Planning Engineer, to up date the 1961 Park Plan.
.rhe General Manager was directed to forwa r d immediately to the Finance
Committee of the Boar d of Aldermen 1rhe above suggested·.1allocation of
t:he $350,000.

�The General Manager then requested the Chairman of the Parks Committee
to take up the discussion of the proposed location of the new Cyclorama
if and when it is constructed. Mr. Delius feels that the Cyclorama shoul_d
remain ih Grant Park since it is located on the fringe of the actual
Battle of Atlanta which the Cyclorama depicts, has been in the park for
some eighty years, is internationally advertised as being in Grant Park,
and is adjacent to ample parking, the zoo, and Fort Walker. All members
of the Committee agreed that the best location for the Cyclorama was for
it to remain in Grant Park. Mr. Delius explained that there was some
feeling among certain individuals that if the Cyclorama is rebuilt it
be located in a downtown area possibly adjacent to the auditorium where
it woul9 be immediately accessible to tourist traffic, etc. The Chairman
of the Parks Committee suggested that at the next Park Committee meeting
on August 15, 1967, that the matter be formally voted upon but that
.
in the meantime Mr. Delius should contact all those individuals who have
expressed an interest in where the new Cyclorama should be located and
invite them to come before the August 15th meeting. The Committee agreed
that any and everything should be done possible within the capacity of
our present finances to begin study towards the renovation of the painting
proper and the construction of the new Cyclorama building.
Mr. Charles Davis, City Comptroller, suggested to the Committee and the
Parks Department that work should begin immediately on applications for
matching Federal funds relative to the above mentioned $350,000 and that
in addition, applications should be submitted for the purchase of park
lands in the norther portion of the West End Urban Renewal Area and in
the Rockdale Urban Renewal Area. In the case of the latter project,
originally only one park site was suggested for Rockdale1 however, the~e
appears to be three park sites now with two being donated and one having
to be purchased by the City. Mr. Davis said that somehow or other funds
would be made available for a park in the northern portion of the West
End Urban Renewal project and in the Rockdale Urban Renewal Project.
Being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

Dear Mr. Shelton:

During a recent Called Meeting of the Aldermanic Parks Committee
the members informally discussed at my request the best

_ location for the Cyclorama of the Battle of Atlanta if and

when we reached the point where financing is available for
restoration and a new home. The Committee directed that

we bring this matter up for a formal decision at the regular :
meeting scheduled for August 15, 1967 at 2:00 p.m. in

Committee Room No. 2 of the City Hall. Members of the Committee
further asked that I correspond with you and invite you to attend
this meeting in the event that you would like to express an
opinion on the best location for the Cyclorama. If it should

be inconvenient for you to attend on August 15 and you would

care to write the undersigned, it would be my pleasure to_

present your views and opinions to the Aldermen. We particularly -
appreciate your continued interest in the Cyclorama which is —
obviously our most valuable physical historical possession and
trusting you can attend on August 15, I am

' ; Jack C. Delius :
General Manager of
Parks and Recreation

A Called Meeting of the Aldermanic Parks Committee was held on Wednesday,
July 26, 1967 at 2:00 p.m. in the Conference Room of the City Hall Annex.
Present were Aldermen Charlie Leftwich, Buddy Fowlkes, Q. V. Williamson,
and G. Everett Millican. Also present was Mr. R. Earl Lander,
Administrative Assistant to the Mayor, Mr. Charles L,. Davis, City
Comptroller, Mr. Woody Underwood of the Comptroller's Staff, Mr. Eric
Harkness of the Planning Department, and Messrs. Jack C. Delius, Stan
Martin, A. P. Brindley, and Stan Ayer, of the Parks Department.

Chairman Leftwich stated that the primary purpose of the called meeting
was to discuss the recent allocation of some $350,000 by the Finance
Committee to the Department of Parks for emergency—type activities in
the Parks Department. Mr. Leftwich explained that the funds were °°
allocated only for capital improvements, etc. and were not intended to
be for operating costs and other everyday items. Mr. Leftwich distributed
a preliminary list of priorities drawn up by the Park Staff. A
considerable discussion took place by members of the Park Committee

as to just how priorities should be established and the best ways

to spend the fund. It was unanimously agreed that whenever and wherever
possible the money should be utilized for projects qualifying under

50% aid assistance from the Federal government through either the Land
and Water Conservation Act or the Open Space Program. Although additional
park lands are desperately needed and should be purchased while still
available, it was generally felt by the Committee that the funds should
be spent on Parks already purchased and owned by the City of Atlanta so
that these facilities might be placed in service at the earliest
possible date. The City Comptroller has pointed out that the City of
Atlanta is officially committed to the purchase in the immediate future
of an Urban Renewal Park Site in the Western portion of the Rawson-
Washington Urban Renewal Area and a park site adjacent to the W. C.
Hills School in the Bedford-Pine Urban Renewal Area. Other urban
renewal park sites were considered too far off in the future to

commit funds at the present time. Alderman Williamson felt that the
Peyton Road Project should be deferred at this time since it is ina
middle class community and not a disadvantaged area. The General
Manager pointed out that Peyton Road was the only park site purchased
under the 1963 Bond Program that had received no development or
allocation of funds and while in principle the majority of the funds
should go to disadvantaged areas of the City, some development should
start on the Peyton Road Site. Alderman Fowlkes expressed an opinion
that all the funds should be used for development, an opinion generally
expressed by the General Manager. Alderman Millican stated that one

of the best ways to use the money would be to light ball fields for
night-time use.

The following list was finally decided upon and received the unanimous
approval of the Parks Committee:

The last item on the proposed budget, number 11, concerns the purchase

of additional park land throughout the City. Alderman Leftwich and other
members of the Committee expressed an opinion that in the event that
estimates of construction were too low on some of the other projects that
item 11 in part at least could be diverted to make up deficits. Stan
Martin, Parks Administrative Assistant, has already requested the City
Planning Department to make a survey to determine where additional parks
lands are needed. Mr. Martin has already requested Mr. Collier Gladin,
the City Planning Engineer, to up date the 1961 Park Plan.

‘The General Manager was directed to forward immediately to the Finance
Committee of the Board of Aldermen the above suggested allocation of
the $350,000.

The General Manager then requested the Chairman of the Parks Committee

to take up the discussion of the proposed location of the new Cyclorama

if and when it is constructed. Mr. Delius feels that the Cyclorama should
remain in Grant Park since it is located on the fringe of the actual
Battle of Atlanta which the Cyclorama depicts, has been in the park for
some eighty years, is internationally advertised as being in Grant Park,
and is adjacent to ample parking, the zoo, and Fort Walker. All members
of the Committee agreed that the best location for the Cyclorama was for
it to remain in Grant Park. Mr. Delius explained that there was some
feeling among certain individuals that if the Cyclorama is rebuilt it

be located in a downtown area possibly adjacent to the auditorium where

it would be immediately accessible to tourist traffic, etc. The Chairman
of the Parks Committee suggested that at the next Park Committee meeting
on August 15, 1967, that the matter be formally voted upon but that

in the meantime Mr. Delius should contact all those individuals who have
expressed an interest in where the new Cyclorama should be located and
invite them to come before the August 15th meeting. The Committee agreed
that any and everything should be done possible within the capacity of
our present finances to begin study towards the renovation of the painting
proper and the construction of the new Cyclorama building.

Mr. Charles Davis, City Comptroller, suggested to the Committee and the
Parks Department that work should begin immediately on applications for
matching Federal funds relative to the above mentioned $350,000 and that
in addition, applications should be submitted for the purchase of park
lands in the norther portion of the West End Urban Renewal Area and in
the Rockdale Urban Renewal Area. In the case of the latter project,
originally only one park site was suggested for Rockdale; however, there
appears to be three park sites now with two being donated and one having
to be purchased by the City. Mr. Davis said that somehow or other funds
would be made available for a park in the northern portion of the West
End Urban Renewal project and in the Rockdale Urban Renewal Project.

Being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
