REPORI' OF ATLANTA HOUSING AUI'HORITY CONCERNING DEATH OF MRS. JESSIE MAE COLLIER AND CHILDREN AT THE PERRY HOMES HOUSING PROJECT The first information the Housing Authority received as to the above occurrence came from a telephone conversation between a maintenance mechanic at Perry Homes and the Manager on Sunday morning, February 26. The Manager, Mr. Arthur F. Smith, had been called out of church to be given the information that the tenants residing in Apartment 726, 2186 Clarrisa Drive, N. W., had been found deaq in the apartment. The police had broken into the premises late Saturday night, but had not notified any Housing Authority personnel at the time the occurrence was discovered. The Manager in turn telephoned the Executive Director and it was arranged for the Assistant Technical Director, Mr. Ernest Bathke, to proceed to Perry Homes for an on-the-spot inspection. Mr. Bathke reached the site at about two o'clock Sunday afternoon in company with the Manager, the assistant to the Maintenance Superintendent and a maintenance mechanic, who entered the apartment. The gas heater located in the living room 'is vented through a plaster partition and connected to a transite vent located underneath the stairway on a diagonal and connected at the upper end to a vent from the gas water heater, thence to a vertical vent through the roof. The transite vent had become disconnected from the pipe leading through the wall from the heater. The heater may have been exhausting fumes into the apartment at this point. The space heater appeared to be clean and in good condition and this was later confirmed by a detailed examination. The plaster immediately surrounding the opening in the partition had a broken edge rather than a smooth appearance. All other features of the gas system were in good condition. The only evidence of carbon deposit in the room was on a paper bag located on a shelf nearby the vent pipe. There was no evidence of carbon on the windows or walls within the apartment. The records of the project Maintenance Department were examined and it was determined that in line with instructions from the Central Office to all projects requiring an annual inspection of all heating equipment prior to the heating season, this apartment was inspected on October 20, 1966, and the gas space heater readied for operation. This inspection was conduct ed by a maintenance group of three persons. Everything was in order except that one glass in the f r ont of the space heater was missing and was replaced. This heating inspection routine also includes cleaning and adjusting the space heater and vacuuming the vent system where necessary. The maintenance log also shows no requests made for service in this apartment subsequent to the October 20 inspection. Since this occurrence, space heaters in all the other apartments in the project have been inspected again and are in good condition.

Atlanta, Georgia Deat Mr. Slaton: Pursuant to telephone conversations with your office and Mr. Paul Ginsberg the representative of your office assigned to consult with us, and pursuant to instructions of your office, we hereby formally request an Inquiry by the Grand Jury into the deaths of tenants of the Perry Homes Housing Project due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Following the suggestions of your office, We have checked Police Department and . Coroner reports. We have asked Mayor Ivan Allen to also request reports. After reviewing the reports in the Mayor's office and the Coroner's office, as compared to information brought to our attention by concerned citizens of the Perry Homes Community we suggest the following: 1. Thatappropriate officials of the Atlanta Housing Authority be questioned regarding possible negligence in the maintenance of heating system of Perry Homes Apartments. 2. Call in the entire employee staff of Perry Homes for questioning, including employees now terminated but were employed on or after January 1, 1965. We have been informed that Mr. Claude Bates complained on more than one occasion about sickening fumes to the Perry Homes Management Office, without corrective action. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Bates were · fatal victims of carbon monoxide poisoning on February 3, 1965. 3. Suggest that Mr. Charles Kemp, brother of Mrs. Josie Callier, victim, whose body was discovered Saturday, February 25 (died Thursday, February 23rd), along with three children all dead, cause given as carbon monoxide poisoning. Mr. Kemp lives in Perry Homes and he has information that allegedly suggests questionable motives and conduct of ex-husband of victim regarding deaths. 4. Suggest ex-husband Eddie Callier be questioned. He reportedly previously visited family every Thursday or . Friday. A VOTIELIESS PEOPLE I S A · HEIL.PLESS PEOPLE �Page 2 Honorable Lewis R. Slaton 3-8-67 He is suppose to have visited ex-wife on her job Thursday where they had an argument.

Our interest here is that somehow too many people appear to consider Negro homicides very lightly. The death of this family is an Atlanta tragedy and every effort should be made to prevent future occurrence. If it was caused by negligence, the case should bring shame to all of us and is "City· Scandal." If there is "foul play" the guilty should be brought to justice.

We are in the process of implementing these resolutions as it relates to the various departments of our city government. We have noted since you have been mayor that your appointments from the negro community to committees and commissions have been catagorized by a certain pasture o~ individuals. The Executive Committee of the NAACP directed me to express their serious concern over this progressively growing pattern. We acknowledge that this is your privilege, but we would also indicate for your information that many appointments of personalities that do not relate or, in mapy instances, are unacceptable to the populace.
