RECOMM ENDATIONS
There were several types of recommendations which appeared often in the intern
evaluations . · These were concerned mainly with the City Services Coordinator,
junk cars, and the establishment of a central telephone nurn.ber or office.
Although
many recommendati ons were quite siinilar each wa s prese11ted fr-om a
different vi ewpoint .
The recommendations concerning the City S ervices Coordinators centered around
the number of coordinators and their duties.
Miss Sowell, Mr. Isaac, and Mr.
Beme nt recomme nd that there be one City Service Coordinator per target area.
Others, such as Christenberry, Mrs. Snider, and Miss Woodward felt that more
City Servic e Coordina tors should be hired 1 1 •
Mr. Christenberry sugges ted that
since the City Servic e Coo rdinator·s do public relations work a nyway, the

the commission 1 s mone y be used for 1nor e City Service Coordinators.

..All of this involves

Mr. Christenberry feels
the City Service Coordinators be viewed as "inovative chaps with an overview of
the whole system whose job is to better integrate existing services and develop
ne~ services as they see .fit".
They shoi:ild ha~e the po\ver to "recom:rr.end

Those "\vere not the only recommendations pertaining to City Service Coordinators.
Mr. Christenberry wants all City Service Coordinators (both present coordinators
and all future ones) to sp e nd time with experienced coordinators, learning methods
of "handling 'routine' community problems".
He also feels that all City Servic~
Coordinators should have a personal kno w led g e of th e operation of all city departments .
Mr. Isaac recomm e nded that th e coordin a tors be publicized in the community.
· Miss Sow ell sug gested that r e gular "houp5 of att e ndance" in their offices be k e pt

EVALUATIONS OF CITY SERVICES =

In evaluating City Services not all interns mentioned all City Services. There was
divided opinion on many departments. However, the general consensus was that

’

- the City Services were not responding well enough to complaints by area residents,

The Atlanta Housing Authority, according to Miss Sowell, does not respond at all.
However, the Housing Code Department was commended by Mr. Christenberry and
Miss Sowell. This was not the case with Mr. Menez, who feels the department is

"not only inadequate, but also poorly administered",

Mr. Isaac reported that the Police Department is doing well in Central City, but °
Me. Christenberry, Mr. Menez, and Miss Sowell reported very poor response. Mr.
nristenberry was told that the Police Department did not know to return route sheets:
however, that is not believed: In most areas they have shown poor response on

pick-up of junk cars.
Only Mr. Isaac mentioned Public Works. He noted only one third response.

The Recreation Department was commented on by Miss Woodward and Mr. Menez.
Mr. Menez stated that the Recreation Department was not only hampered by lack

of equipment, but its unsystematic system allows for inconsistency. Miss Woodward
was more explicit, stating that recreation."appears to suffer not in quanity but in
quality". Since this is Atlanta's third year of expanded summer recreation, she feels
that "one would expect to find activities with carryover values". Further, Atlanta

is loosing its best opportunity to communicate with youth in these areas. She

reports that youth does not participate in other programs, such as Model Cities,

E.O,A,, etc.
The Sanitation Department came in for quite a bit of comment. Miss Sowell, Miss
Woodward, and Mr. Isaac had reasonably good experiences with this department.
Mostly their request.had been answered promptly. Miss Sowell stated that the
quick response on the trash barrels gives tangible evidence of the City's concern.
Thus this service of the Sanitation Department is invaluable. Miss Woodward
sakes that there is such’ eh. contidence-in the department and in Mr. Hulsey in
West End that citizens there usually call Mr. Hulsey directly with their complaints.
Not all opinions of the Sanitation Department Ss2 Goad. Mr. Christenberry reports
poor pick-up of junk cars by this department, especially if the car has not been :
tagged by the City Service Coordinator. Mr. Menez feels the departments ''output
capacity is totally Wiadeqiata's, Thus the Sanitary Department seems to respond
well on complaints pocnerning litter barrels and/or tach removal and poorly on

removal of junk cars.

The "Sidewalks Department"! was commended by Mr. Isaac who stated that he has

received one-hundred percent response.

Miss Sowell reports Street Maintenance as being prompt in replying. However, she

feels they should have informed this office that no additional paving could be done.

The Traffic Engineering Department did not please Miss Sowell, Mrs. Snider, or
Mr. Menez. Miss Sowell felt they should have notified the Community Development

Coordinator's Office that no traffic signals were available for this year. Mrs.
a 2 I

Snider noted that many times the Traffic Engineering Department replied with "will
check this next week" or ''maybe next year". She felt this type of reply did more
harm than good. Mr. Menez criticized "the bureaucratic seoredare in which things
are done". Mr. Isaac reported answers a all five route sheets sent to Traffic

Engineering. Thus of the four comments on this department, only Mr. Isaac was

satisfied.

RECOMMENDATIONS
There were several types of recommendations which appeared often in the intern
evaluations. These were concerned mainly with the City Services Coordinator,
fails cars, and iia .setabliahment of a central telephone number or office. Although
many recommendations were quite similar each was presented from a slightly

different viewpoint.

The recommendations concerning the City Services Coordinators centered around
the number of coordinators and their duties: Miss Sowell, Mr. Isaac, and Mr.
Bement recommend that there be one City Service Coordinator per target area.
Others, such as Christenberry, Mrs. Snider, and Miss Woodward felt that “more
City Service Coordinators should be hired", Mr. Ghristenberey suggested that —
since the City Service Coordinator's do public relations work anyway, the "expensive,
blue-ribbon bedecked Community Relations Commission" could be abolished and

the commission's money be used for more City Service Coordinators. Miss
Woodward, Mr. Bement, Miss Sowell, and Mr. Christenberry also discussed
possible thane in the coordinator's duties. Miss Woodward recommended

making them the administrators of "Little City Halls" and increasing the scope of
cae

their duties to include early slum detection, consumer services complaints,
public relations, and general information distribution. All of this involves
removing the coordinators from the E.O.A, Centers. ve Christenberry feels
the City Service Coordinators be viewed as "inovative chaps with an overview of
the whole system whose job is to better integrate existing services and develop
new services as they See fit", They should have the power to "recommend
revisions in and additions to the city codes in their respective areas", Mr.
Bement saw the coordinator‘s job as that of a "city-man in the ghetto; touching,
listening, stimulating, heaching’, reporting". Miss Sowell believes the City

Service Coordinators could perform a broader coordinating function between the

various groups on his (or her) area.

Those were not the only recommendations pertaining to City Service Coordinators.
Mr. Christenberry wants all City Service Coordinators (both present coordinators
and all future ones) to spend time with experienced coordinators, learning methods
of "handling 'routine' community problems". He also feels that all City Service
Coordinators should have a personal knowledge of the operation of all city departments.
Mr. Isaac recommended that the coordinators be publicized in the community.
Miss Sowell suggested that regular "hours of attendance" in their offices be kept
by the coordinators, and that route sheets car the City Service Coordinators
should received priority action (perhaps special funds could be allocated for this).

Thus these inten recommendations concerning the City Service Coordinators relate
-5- , . ;

‘to their role, their number, their training, etc. There is disatisfaction not with the

ideal of a City Service Coordinator, but with the reality.

A large number of recommendations concerned centralization. Mr. Bement suggested
the entire system be tied to one telephone number, suchas 5ll. He also suggested

“a central City Services Intake and Routing Office containing one or two complaint
desks from each department, This would segaha the Community Development Office's
coordinating function by enabling départments to work together on problems not
"apropos' to any one denartaent. Mrs ; ‘Saider also felt a central information
service for field personnel was needed. Under her plan, the Community Develop=
ment Office could become a central coordinating agency for target area groups who
might need supplies or other help and those churches, businesses, etc., who might
like to help such groups. A centralized publicized telephone number was also
recommended by Mr. Isaac. Miss Woodward suggested a central complaint depart-
ment similar to that of Mr. Bement, but not included as a part of the Community
Development Office. In the complaint department there would be a central real-time
information bank and "exceptions" crews to investigate all types of complaints.
Centralization as seen by the interns, would expand the function of the Community

Development Office and aid in its operation. —

Junk cars were the object of many of Mr. Christenberry's and Mr. Menez's
recommendations. Both felt that only one department of the City should have
responsibility for removal of junk cars, rather than both Sanitary and Police.
Menez suggested that this single agency be the Sanitary Department. Both felt that

manpower in Sanitary should be increased; Christenberry suggesting that these
ha

&lt; Se, : =o

be used to make "periodic sweeps through all infected areas to remove junk cars",
An additional suggestion made by Mr. Christenberry was to assign personnel from
the Community Development Office to work with Rex Honeyoute of Sanitary in the
development of a profitable system for handling junked cars. In other words, these

intern recommendations were concerned with increasing the efficiency of junk car

yemoval;  &lt; &lt;i... : : j ‘ ; é

Although the above are the major types of groupings of intern recommendations, there
were many more. -Mrs. Snider and Miss Woodward suggested Vlittle City Halle",
Miss Woodward also suggested a social Seseeech and planning staff which would.
begin slum prevention studies, a new training orientation program for summer
recreation employees, plain english translations of city ordinances,new ordinances
concerning consumer service violations, investigation of bribery complaints,
regulation of absentee landlords, and use of volenteers for summer recreation
programs. Mrs. Snider and Miss Woodward had recommendations pertaining to
publicity. Miss Woodward feels the War on Poverty should be publicized to affluent
Atlanta; Mrs. Snider suggested that City Hall publicize itself through direct effective
action. Miss Sowell and Mrs. Snider felt thathighlevel pressure (ise., Mayor Allen)
should be used against those departments which were unresponsive to the Community
Development Office. Several suggestions were made with regard to personnel.

Mr. Isaac believes the intern program should be continued part-time all year. Miss
Woodward suggested the pay of policemen and recreation employees be increased.

She also suggested strengthening the lines between the E,O.A, Manpower Program
- -7-
and the City Personnel Office. Miss Sowell ie homtaseied that the Atlanta
Beautification Boris ea tcne could be used to clean streets and vacant lots in
answer to complaints. Mr. Christenberry also suggested increasing the number
of housing inspectors. Other's suggestions included improving the Summer
Program Book by printing it in color code, havinw each department use the same
area definition osevidine space for up -dating the book, revising the route sheet
filing system by using file cards (Mrs. Snider); charging land owners for cleaning
their property, giving recognition to the Housing Code Department for its fine

performance, making a concentrated effort in one area in the hope that changes

in crime, property values, etc. (Mr. Christenberry).

OFFICE LETTER
TRUST COMPANY OF GEORGIA
TO
A. H. Sterne
FROM
C. Linden Longino, Jr.


SUBJECT: Bank Loans to Minority Businesses
I have a collection of many news articles and other reports, as well as my own thoughts,
on the general subject of business formation and development in urban "underprivilegedghetto-black-minority" areas. Connnon threads bind all of these together:
1.
A city cannot endure with a central core of business and individual poverty.
2.
Strengthening the underprivileged
toward solving the overall number
members comprise 12% of the U. S.
business, according to government
3.
This uplifting can be done by direct government "intervention" or by the more
fortunate members of the "privileged" business community; the latter being a
better way for innumerable reasons, but a combined effort being workable and
not necessarily undesirable.
4.
Many government programs exist and ~ any private organizations have been
formed to cope with these problems, but there is much duplication of effort
and a general lack of intercommunication and coordination.

TRUST COMPANY OF GEORGIA

TO A. H. Sterne

FROM cC. Linden Longino, Jr. SUBJECT: Bank Loans to Minority Businesses

I have a collection of many news articles and other reports, as well as my own thoughts,
on the general subject of business formation and development in urban "underprivileged-
ghetto-black-minority" areas. Common threads bind all of these together:

1. A city cannot endure with a central core of business and individual poverty.

2. Strengthening the underprivileged business community would go a long way
toward solving the overall number one problem of the city. (Minority group
members comprise 12% of the U. S. population but they own only 3% of U. S.
business, according to government figures.)

3. This uplifting can be done by direct government "intervention" or by the more
fortunate members of the "privileged" business community; the latter being a
better way for innumerable reasons, but a combined effort being workable and
not necessarily undesirable,

4, Many government programs exist and many private organizations have been
formed to cope with these problems, but there is much duplication of effort
and a general lack of intercommunication and coordination.

5. Banks can play a key role because of the general scarcity of money available
to the ghetto businessman for starting or upgrading his business. (Only 150
of this country's 14,000 commercial banks engage in specific loan programs of
this nature.)

6. A bank can follow three basic paths:

A) Establish its own high risk loan plan (C&amp;S has done this).

B) Participate with the SBA in "Project Own", a liberalized loan guarantee
program. This plan is endorsed by the ABA. (Trust Company, First National,
National Bank of Georgia and maybe Fulton National Bank do this.)

C) Banks within a city can organize a "pool" of funds and talent, offering
loans as well as management assistance. (This has been informally discussed,
but no such move is under way in Atlanta. Banks in some other cities have
taken such action.)

7. Conculsion: Each bank must make its own decision as to the extent of its
involvement, if any, in this area of community service. A formal "pool" of
banks is not necessary if each bank will assume its responsibilities and take
an active role in this area of lending. A central "clearing house" would make
the job easier for all interested parties, public and private. Independent
services of banks, attorneys, accountants, consultants and various national,
state, and local government bodies could be efficiently channeled toward the
common objective. We have suggested that the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce might
assume the role of coordinator if such a "clearing house!’ is established.

Dear Mr. Welch;

Trust Company of Georgia will be delighted to take part

sponsored by the Community Relations Commission. Attached is the
form which names C, Linden Longino, Second Vice President, as our
representative. Mr. Longino will participate in the Banker Round

You also asked if we would provide a table during the

be in charge of our arrangements in providing such an information
booth, He may use one or more of our people to assist him.

I believe that the program will be a good one, assuming
you obtain the participation desired by those who are really
interested in going into business for themselves. The program has
been well thought-out, and I see nothing in it that would be con-
trary to our own views of how to attack the problem. It was a
pleasure to sit in for Mr. Sterne, and he of course has been apprised
of what went on and supports fully our participation, as outlined
above.

Negroes’ Cwn Fault, Leader Says
_ As C of C Launches Money Drive

By LAURENCE GWIN

Atlanta Journal Business Writer

Is there a “black money curtain”

in Atlanta which deters

Negroes from getting assistance they need to enter the main-

stream of capitalism?

One of the leading Negro busi-|
ness executives in Atlanta says
“yes.”

“But it’s partly the fault of
the black community,” said T.
M. Alexander Jr., who in addi-
tion to having financial ties in
various Atlanta projects, is with
the Courts and Co. brokerage
firm,

Alexander noted that although
the fault does not lie with the
banks totally, “‘it is a psycholog-
ical fact that when a black per-
son gets turned down on a loan
by a black bank — and because
of the restricted capital of these
banks they most times have no
choice but to be more careful in
higher risk areas — these peo-
‘ple would naturally feel they
;wouldn’t have a’ chance to Ee
‘money from a white bank .
|.and they don’t try.”

Another problem he com-
! mented on was that blacks seek-
ing financial aid ‘‘just do not
‘have the records and reports
_ filed on them, and the institu-
| tions don't have enoUgh infor-
imation to be able to make the
decisions.”

OFTEN when a Negro applies
for financial assistance, the
banks will ask him to fill out a
financial statement, Alexander
said. ‘‘And he thinks this was
| just a nice way the bank had to
| turn him down,” he said. “More
often than not he doesn’t know
how to make out a financial
statement ... and this is where
it’s dropped.”’

He cited a precedent for suc-
cess in John Jefferson, who
after being turned down numer-
ous times, finally recieved as-
sistance froin Citizens &amp; South-
ern National Bank and construc-
tion is now under way for a 78-
room downtown motel to be
owned and operated by blacks.

Atlanta is currently trying to
change the climate surrounding
the “black money curtain.”

 

. and we also hope to get
successful Negroes to encourage |
other Negroes.”

Although not completely out-
lined, the program will have two
phases, he said. “You have
money on one side and candi-
dates on the other—and these
have to be matched. Especially
when less than $5,000 is in-
volved, the percentages go out
the window. You’re backing the
individual.”

THE LATTER PHASE will be
to provide counseling and mana-
gerial coaching for the appli-
cants “‘so that they may learn
the ins and outs of the busi-
ness.’

Dickson, although not seeing a’

separate division formulated,
envisions that banks “will ag-
gressively go after worthwhile
.| applicants.”” He added that ‘‘this
will not be a giveaway—but we
are going to genuinely try and
create an atmosphere whereby
the black community’ can enter
the mainstream of capitalism.”

In connection with this, the
Community Relations Commis-
sion has announced plans for a
workshop to be held Feb. 20 at
Atlanta University’s School of
Business.

The Workshop on Black Busi-
ness Opportunities will be co
sponsored by the-Atlanta cham-

Atlanta Negro-owned manu-
facturer of hair products—the
Cannolene Co.—will top the $1
million sales mark in 1969, ac-
cording to predictions by com-
pany officials. ‘

Robert ©. Cannon, president
of the firm, said the big sales
rise—more than 700 per cent;
over 1968—began when the firm
expanded into the national mar-
ket three years ago.

“We are now able to take
full advantage of the greatly
