Mr. Edward H. Baxter, Regional Administrator Department of Housing & Urban Development Room 645, Peachtree-Seventh Building Atlanta, Georgia 30323 Dear Mr. Baxter: A question ha.s arisen regarding the correct interpretation of Section 114 of Atlanta's Officia l Plumbing Code. Prior to December 20, 1966, Section 114 required the ex clusive use of wiped lead stubs for floor outlet wat er clos ets and urinals. At about that time HUD ma.de a s t udy of t h e Plumbing Code and in the int erest of moderni zation r ecommended that the City amend numerous provisions, i ncluding Secti on 114 . I have b een i n f ormed that t h e revision of Section 114 rec ommended by HUD f ollowed verbatim the corr espon ding provi s ion of the Southern Standard Plumb ing Code . As amend ed , Section 114 reads a s follows : "Sec . 114 . Fixtu re connec tions b etween drainage p ipes and wa ter clos ets, floor- outlet ser vice s i nks , pedestal ur i na ls, and earthenwar e trap standards shall be mad e by means of brass, hardlead or iron f l anges , cal ked , s olde red. or screwed to the drainage pipe. The connection shall be bolted, with an approve d gasket or washer or setting compound between the earthenware and the connection. The floor flange shall be set on an approved firm base. Th e use of commercial putty or plaster is prohibited." Since Section 114 provides that "the floor flange shall be set on an approved firm base", one contention is that the choice of "brass, hard- lead or iron flanges, calked, soldered, �I -2- or screwed to the drainage pipe" applies only to a slab on grade, which constitutes "an approved firm base". Under that theory Section 114 does not permit a choice of the three materials on floors above a slab on grade because such other floors do not necessarily constitute "an a pproved firm base". Under that view of Section 114 it would be permi s sible to restric t such joints on floors above s lab on g rade to wiped lead stubs. The opposing interpretation is that the purp ose of the amendment of Section 114 in December , 1966, wa s t o p ermit t h e choi c e of "bra ss, hard-lead or iron fla nges, ca lked , sol de red, or screwed t o the dra i nage pipe" and tha t the express language of t he Section i s su ch as to permit such choice. Under th'at c ons t ruction t h e phras e "an approved fi rm bas e " applie s equally to all of the mat e r i als and not jus t to t hose other than l ead . The qu estion has, therefore, been raised as to whether, under Section 114, t h e engineer or plumbing contractor is restricted on floors above s l ab on grade to wiped lead stubs or has a choice on such floors of using "brass, hard-lead or iron flanges, calked, soldered or screwed to the drainage pipe". Since HUD was instrumental in bringing about the enactment of Section 114 in its present form, the City would like to know what HUD regards as the correct answer to that question. In addition to the correct interpretation of Section 114, it will be helpful if HUD will express its judg- �-3- ment as to what the code ought to provide on this point, entirely apart from the present language of Section 114, in order to encourage the construction of low-rent, low-cost housing without lowering reasonable standards of safety and durability.

TO THE H)NORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF AI.DERMEN OF THE CITY OF ATLAl'\JTA: Ge ntlemen: I am writing t h is letter asking you r h e lp along with the supporters and concerned citizens for the right of young girls to live as a f a mil y toge t her . They live on the same bas i s and principles that ou r colle ge s and u ni versities operate their hou ses. Thes e c ollege girls live on the west side in various places in t he communit¥ in numbers together when they find there is an overcrowded si tuation on their ca~puses, and this has existed for a l ong number of years. Bec ause of the shortage of living space in the City of At l anta , we have the evidence in writing of genuine support for t h es e girls from our leading citizens. J,01 Therekras an unjustifiable complaint made concernin g o ur hous e onAhurgood Street, s.wo, where some of these girls live d . It has been called to my attention that the person who made t h e complaint suffers from a degree of jealousy, evilness and envya I do n ot like t o i nvolve others, and I will call no names unles s a s ked to do so. But exactly four doors from this h ouse in q ues t i on there is a home for girls owned by a fellow comp etitor . The girls l ive and get along fine in number so 'Be tween 8 or 9 doors from t his s ame house in question, there is another house for girls b e ing conducted in the same mannera If a p erson creates a commotion, I think it is pr o per to c al l the p o li ce - that's what they are for. At Harvard, when t h e s t uden ts c r eat ed a commotion, they did not close down the university; they trie d t o cor rec t the s ituation . When a bank gets robbed , it is no t c losed; they try to catch the robbers and continue t he ir business ope ration.

Text Any textual data included in the document TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF ATLANTA: Gentlemen: I am writing this letter asking your help along with the supporters and concerned citizens for the right of young girls to live as a family together. They live on the same basis and principles that our colleges and universities operate their houses. These college girls live on the west side in various places in the community in numbers together when they find there is an overcrowded situation on their campuses, and this has existed for a long number of years. Because of the shortage of living space in the City of Atlanta, we have the evidence in writing of genuine support for these girls from our leading citizens. 4907 there jas an unjustifiable complaint made h concerning our house on urgood Street, S.W., where some of these girls lived, It has been called to my attention that the person who made the complaint suffers from a degree of jealousy, evilness and envy, I do not like to involve others, and I will call no names unless asked to do so, But exactly four doors from this house in question there is a home for girls owned by a fellow competitor, The girls live and get along fine in numbers. Between 8 or 9 doors from this same house in question, there is another house for girls being conducted in the same manner, If a person creates a commotion, I think it is proper to call the police - that's what they are for, At Harvard, when the students created a commotion, they did not close down the university; they tried to correct the situation, When a bank gets robbed, it is not closed; they try to catch the robbers and continue their business operation, There might have been some loud music or voices over a long period of time, but this could be and was corrected. COMPLAINTS FROM THE GIRLS: 1. These girls have had several complaints about this lady and her husband who live next door and who instigated the charges, They have proof that this lady drinks heavily and that her language on occasions is atrocious. 2. Her husband gets nervous when she gets on her benders and he starts shooting at birds and rats in their back yardo The other day a distinguished citizen that signed the manifesto in support of these girls was inspecting this house which is next to the complainant. This complainant comes from her front yard up to my car with her liquor glass in her hand and her breath reeking with alcohol asking me if I wanted to sell the house, I stated that it was not for sale, I was courteous, kind and polite, This distinguished citizen will confirm that while on his inspection tour, this did take place. (He just shook his head, ) We recognize that two wrongs do not make a right. This lady and her husband have been successful in getting a person in a high position to instruct one of the police officers of the License Department to send one of his men out to make a casee  to On one occasion an officer came out and asked one of the girls' let him ing The young lady stated that he would have to get in touch with my office. He then asked for a particular young girl; again the young lady stated that that person was not in, He then asked this young lady her name. She did not want to become involved, so she stated that her name was not important since he wanted someone else. The officer then said: "You give me your name or you're going downtown with me." This frightened the young girl and all of the other young girls in the house. She gave him her name, and he then left two summons to court in the mailbox, Out of the two cases that this officer made, both have been dismissed. However the Judge stated that the charges were improperly drawn and that he wanted this officer to get with the City Attorney and see if there were any violations. Because of this officer's belligerent attitude and tone of voice, these young girls were frightened. On account of his arrogant statement, these girls were so frightened that they moved out at night with no place to go, They stayed in cars all night, and some had no place to go up to three days. We ask the Honorable Mayor and the Board of Aldermen to use their powerful office to issue a directive or order to whomever is in charge to see that such tactics cease by this officer or any other officer, and that these girls be allowed to live without being harrassed by someone who might not like the color of their skin or texture of their hair. Allow these girls the right to live together as a family. These girls ask your support. The Concerned Citizens ask your prompt support and help for these girls and others so situated. Help these girls and concerned citizens today and they will help you tomorrow, I remain, yours, (LA e Glass” “” nd({ concerned citizens  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The question to be answered in this matter is whether the girls are living together as a family or occupying a boarding or rooming house. The above mentioned property is located in an "R-4" zoning dis- trict in which boarding or rooming houses are not permitted.

INSPECTOR OF.BUILDINGS MEMORANDUM TO FROM The Honorab!~ :X~~fAllen, Jr. W. R. Woffo~ RE 1307 Thurgood Street, S. W. • In regard to the matter of a group of girls living on the premises at the above address I advise that there is considerable difference of opinion in the neighborhood concerning this matter. We have had a number of complaints from adjoining residents contending that the current use of the premises violates zoning provision while, on the other hand, the operator of the premises contends that he is not in violation. Attorney Ward's review of the matter clearly points out that the girls can live on the premises as a family in the event the girls are sharing the rent and expenses and are cooking and eating together, which would be permissible under zoning provisions. However, if the girls are paying rent separately to the landlord, it would appear that a boarding house is being operated in violation of zoning laws. Based upon inspections made and information obtained it appears that Mr. Glass is operating an illegal rooming or boarding house. Mr. Glass has been notified of the above matter and asked to correct the situation. Due to the differences of opinion between the neighbors and the rooming house owner, it seems best to bring the matter before the courts in order to determine if a violation of the zoning ordinance exists. We are in the process of getting facts together in order to bring this matter to the municipal courts. The Police Department, through its licensing of rooming houses , has recently brought this matter before the Municipal Court for failure to obtain a license. It is my understanding that the girls thereafter vacated the premises for a period of approx imately one month. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Jordon, Housing Code Inspector of W-5 sector, City of Atlanta, did on 6-6-69 go to a dwelling located at 1542 Pineview Ter., S.W. I inspected this dwelling, except for the terrace apt. and 3 rooms of the front apt. The occupants were away, and talked with Mr. & Mrs. B. Gober, Mrs. Sheldon and the postman for this route. When I approached the house I met Mrs. Sheldon, I asked for Mr. Gober and she directed me to their apt. After knocking on the Gober's door and being asked to come in, I entered. Mr. & Mrs. Gober then immediately started a string of complaints after I introduced myself. The complaints included the Police Dept., the Parks Dept., the Postmaster General and the Post Office in general, the State Patrol, the Traffic Engineering Dept., and others including near neighbors. After listening to these people for about 25 minutes and completing my inspection, I came to the conclusion that I had just been listening to two people that should be under a mental health program. After leaving the Gobers, I went to the front of the house to talk with Mrs. Sheldon and inspect the front apt. Mrs. Sheldon let me into her bedroom which was clean and tidy, except for a small area of plaster that had been loosened by rain water. This room was satisfactory. She explained that she would rather not show me the rest of the apt. until Mrs. McCutcheon, the owner, returned. Mrs. Sheldon informed me that Mr. Gover had been using abusive and threatening language laced with profanity at almost every chance. She had revealed this also to Mr. Joe Lame of the Parks Dept., and Mr. George Timbert of the Traffic Engineering Dept. While talking with Mrs. Sheldon the postman of this route came by and offered additional information. It seems that Mr. Gober wanted his mail put in a box he had mounted on the head of the stairs to this apt. (This the Department forbids). So he went down te the post office and cursed out everyone he could find down there and getting no satisfaction wrote to the Postmaster General and the President. These statements increased my belief that here were two mental cases. This dwelling hae been recently painted inside and out and a 100 amp. electric gervice installed, will refer to electrical division for check, 4 The above is a true account of my findings at 1542 Pineview Terrace on 6-6-69, Otis FP.

Wofford FROM: W.A. Hewes RE: Complaint Against Mr. Sidney Konkle On Wednesday, June 25, 1969, I talked with a lady whe identified herself ae Mre. Colby, the operator of a beer tavern on Connally Street. She stated to me that she had called Mr. Konkle on Tuesday, June 22, 1969, to complain to him about a gas line at hie apartment on Glenwood Avenue, She further stated that she was not able to contact Mr. Konkle at the office but that he came by her place of business at approximately 5:05 p.m. om that day and that he told her that he did not appreciate her meddling in his affairs and that she should stop this. £ questioned Mr. Konkle regarding this from two angles. The condition of the apartment and the relationship with Mra, Colby. He reported to me that there was a leak in the gas line but the gas had been turned off and that this leak would be fixed before cool weather necessiates turning the gas back on. Im relation to Mrs. Colby, he said that he could find no explaxtion for her choosing to call him as he had never previously met the lady or had any contact with her at all. He stated that he did not appreciate her meddling in his affairs and told her eo and aleo requested that she cease from doing so in the future. From other diseussion with Mrs. Colby, it @eppears that she is very He ag with the City and Housing Authority generally and the fact that Mr. Konkle is employed by the City is her wain reason for her dislike for and interest in him,  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In spite of this, however, our efforts seem to be in vain because of the dilapidated and unsightly building known as #170-172 & 174 Auburn Avenue which is on the northeast corner of Pi edmont. It is my understanding that before the title was transferred to the present owner in September 1964 the previous . owner of this property had received a list of violations from the City. These violations were to be corrected and brought up to the City Code or the building demolished. Due to illness and some pressing financial obligations that prevented the owner from complying with the Code, it was necessary to sell. And, now, approximately five years after the sale of the property, the building still stands and those same viola tions, along with some additional ones, still exist. It seems that the present owner is ignoring the violations he inherited with the transfer of the title or he is not c once rne d about improving the appearance of our Great Ci ty and particularly the Auburn Avenue area. Withou t having mentioned this situation to any of the other property owners, I attempted to bring it to the attention of City Hall and made several telephone calls but to no avail.
