Atlanta, Georgia Res Our Underground City Dear Sir: Me. Cleghorn's article which appeared September 21, titled "Our Underground City” presents a wonderful idea for reestablishing an area which could uniquely repre=- sent Atlanta's past while at the same time establishing a tourist attraction for the future. As a native Atlantan this area has always intrigued me. It is a shame that the lower level of the Old Kimball House, which was across the railroad from the areca under discussion, had to be removed as it could have contri- buted greatly to such a program. his is certainly a worth while project that could me much to our City’s future and could go a long way ra ward reclaiming the area involved. I cextainly hope that Mr. Muldewer will be able-to seil this program to The City Fathers and am sure that the majority of Atlantans would appreciate the Atlanta Newspapers con-= tinued support of this project.

Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr. Muldawer: With great interest I read Mr. Reese Cleghorn's recent article in the Atlanta Journal entitled "Our Underground City." The Atlanta Convention Bureau is engaged in the purpose of bringing convention-holding groups to Atlanta and servicing them after the selection of our city. We compete in this activity with seventy-five other cities, and the revenue to Atlanta is about $45 million as an annual result of conventions meeting here. We are presently selling Atlanta as the new, dynamic, enthusi- astic city in America with new facilities--both hotels and exhibit halls. Most national convention groups have not met in Atlanta, and they are interested in convening in our city. The results of bringing a convention delegate to Atlanta are, of course, most visible and tangible in the immediate downtown area. The dele- gate spends most of his money in the downtown area; however, the persons hired in the stores, restaurants, hotels, motels, and nightclubs to serve convention delegates spend most of their money in the neighborhoods. All cities sell their facilities, location, and community activities and interests to convention groups; and they are successful for various reasons. We feel Atlanta is successful because we are new, and we expect to reach $100 million spent here each year by convention delegates by the year 1970. In a few years the newness of Atlanta will no longer exist due to the fact that many national and regional convention groups will have met here in our city.

Text Any textual data included in the document (ROUGH DRAFT) Board of Aldermen City of Atlante City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Attn: Mr. Milton Farris Chairman, Finance Comittee Gentlemen: The Atlanta Civic Design Commission is charged with certain responsibilities in terms of guiding, recommending, and sponsoring physical isprovements in the development of the City of Atlanta, and particularly of its down-town area or “business district". | The Commission has, of recent months, arrived at the definite opinion that @ model of this down-towm area would be of great benefit, both to the Commission in its efforts to guide and influence proper development and/or re-development of thie area, end also to the City of Atlanta in persuading its citizenry that such guided development would be of lesting benefit to the community. The commission's reasons for this opinion are as follow: 1. Proposed future developments could be located on this model, and the surrounding environs of the sites could be viewed, considered, and (we hope) brought into harmony with the new structures. 2. A model is far more understandable, and far more interesting, to the average leyman than are any nuaber of “plans” on paper. 3- Such &@ model would do much to advence the foresight, in terms of national publicity, of the City of Atlenta, by illustrating ite vision, its initiative, and its belief in end aspirations for ite future. 4. In consequence of Paragraph 3. (sbove) more outside interest and more outeide capital and investment could well be genersted in our down-town srea. (continued ) Page #2 The Atlanta Civic Design Comission hes obtained ea tentative proposal from one model maker in Wilmington, Delaware, and is seeking a competitive proposal from another in San Francisco. At this early stage it becomes apparent that a model such as the Commission contemplates will cost between fifty and one hundred thousand dollers. The Commission realizes thet such funds are not presently availeble from the City of Atlanta, and does not so request. Rather, it feels thet the undertaking can be, and will be, financed from private funds, if it can be conceived, launched, and presented in a realistic manner. While final details are yet to be determined, the present thinking of the Commission is in terms of a model possessing the following cheracteristics: i. 3. Approximate boundaries to be North Avenue or Ponce de Leon Avenue on the north, Boulevard on the east, Georgia Avenue on the south, ond Spring Street (or possibly Hemphill Avenue) on the west. It is anticipated that this ares would necessarily be divided into three seperate sections. That the scale of this model (or models) be at fifty feet equals one inch (50" = 1"). That the model represent present-day (existing) conditions in the down-town area, since all future developments will be unknown for years to come. “Permanent” geatures, such es existing streets, parks, plazas, major structures, would be shown in some detail, so ap to be recognizable to the lay public. Lesser structures, presumably more temporary, would be shown merely a6 blocks, with no detail required. | ( continued ) Page #3 4, That the floor of the model consist of separate and removable units (perhaps by city blocks, perhaps by erbitrery division lines). Thus, where @ specific future development was proposed, a certein unit could be removed and @ new unit, of equal size and shepe and of identical scale, could be substituted therefor, thus showing the size, mass, and general development of the new improvement. | 5. hat all buildings on the model be atteched by temporary means (possibly e wooden dowel or peg on their bottoms) rather than glued down end hence impossible to remove and replece. Many other thoughts and improvements to our concept will doubtless develop if end as the Comnaission carries further its program. However, to initiate this progrem, the Coumisesion needs and requests of the Board of Aldermen a small ' amount of “seed money". We ask of the City of Atlanta the sum of one thousend dollara ($1,000.00) to be used primarily to crate, insure, and ehip from Wilmington and from San Francisco, one existing model from each of the two model makers presently submitting proposals, end thereafter to return same to their present owners. The presence of these two "semples” in Atlanta vould assist our efforts in the following ways; 1, Through the press and through viewing by the general public, these exhibits would generate mass enthusiasm for our undertaking. @. Actually seeing models similar in many respects to what is conten- plated locally would help to persuade possible private donors to the cost of on Atlanta model of its value and its utility. 3- Studying these models would assist the Design Comission in estab- lishing in deteil ite own progrem and its own requirements for its own model. { continued ) Page #h In sumary, gentlemen, of a long letter, and for reasons as cited sbove, the Atlenta Civic Design Commission requests of the Board of Aldernen the sun of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for the initiating and promotion of the project herein described.

A decision was not rendered at that time.. HISTORIC SITES & STRUCTURES Mr, Baldwin reported he had contacted Mr. Pilcher of the City Attorney's Office, as requested at the last meeting, re preservation of "historic sites and structures", Mr. Pilcher feels that procedures sug- gested whereby City has first option to buy, in case the property is either offered for sale, or is approved for demolition, are good possibilities for preserving these sites. He further suggested the following steps be taken: 1. ACDC agree what sites and/or structures are of "historical signifi- cance", and make a declaration of same to be presentcd to the Board of Aldermen; 2. Check with the Parks Department re management; 3. See Land Department for information re acquiring property; h.

A copy of the booklet was distributed to members present, with the Chairman's request that they read it and give their reactions to same at the next meeting.
