When you have made this determination, please advise so that we

As you perhaps know, the City is becoming increasingly
concerned over the advanced state of the deterioration of
The Cyclorama of the Battle of Atlanta. Several experts
have given us their opinion on what must be done to the
painting and there ere severel decisions to be made; for
example, where to locate the new Cyclorama ~ or should we
simply remodel the existing building.
I believe that you mentioned in the Demonstration City's Bill
there is a provision for the restoration and preservation of
historical buildings, etc. Since Grant Park lies in the very
heart of the model city area I wondered if you would research
the situation a little further and see if conceivably we
could receive Federal assistance. It appears that a General

Atlanta, Ceorgia 30506
February 23, 1967
“onorable Ivan Allen, Mayor
city of atlanta
Atlanta, Ceorgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
Aas you know Atlanta was saddened by the recent death of
iy. Wilbur kurtz, Sr., who had been so outstanding in our City's
history and it occurred to me what a wonderful tribute to his
memory if the City could obtain the Little strip of woods on
lionroe Drive, which is up for re-zoning now, Petition 4-66-260-B,
and convert this into a "Confederate Memorial Park."
Our Alderman, Hon.Richard C. Freeman, has fought so hard
to try and keep this property from being re-zoned for apartments
and tefore it becomes & losing battle 1 humbly ask that you toss
this idea around and i'm sure there are hundreds of people willing
and ready to contribute to & memorial to Mr. kurta.
Unfortunately, the City refused to accept this property
years ago when it was offered as a park area, and I am under the
impression that there is very little money tied up in it now.
It would be most fitting as a "Confederate Memorial" as 1 under-
stand the Civil War was fought hard in this vicinity and even
today trenches can be found testifying to the battle.
If there is any spark of interest on your part, I hope
you will act promptly, as this matter will be decided by the
Zoning Committee very soon,
Respectfully,
Flt Bas b Class

Dear Mr. Kurtz:
Thank you for your letter of March 8S, 1967 and advising that
Mr. Bruce A, McNaughton of New York City has forwarded to
you a. check in the amount of $10. which is to serve as a
contribution towards the new home for the Cyclorama painting.
I agree this is a very fine gesture and I will immediately
acknowledge it on behalf of the City. It will be necessary
for a resoltuion to be passed by the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen authorizing the acceptance of this check and the
creation of a special account; however, this is simply
routine paper work so don't concern your self about it.
Please endorse your check as follows: “Pay only to the order
of City of Atlanta" end mail to my attantion and I will
handle the bell from there.
We were all deeply saddened by the passing of your father who
hes certainly left his mark on Atlanta. Anyone would be
pores to say that they hed known him, that he was a friend or
relative.
Cordialgfy,
Jack C. Delius

Dear Mr. Allen:
Some months ago we employed two experts to evaluate the
canvas painting of the Cyclorama of The Battle of
Atlanta. At that time, we were advised that the painting could possibly fall in the next four or five years.
Already, two years of that time has passed. The City
of Atlanta has not reached a decision on whether to remodel the e x isting building or replace it .with a new
one and, if the latter course is followed~ where the new
location should be.
The undersigned is o f the opinion that a new building is
needed and that it should be placed in Grant Park. Based
on preliminary figures supplied to us by an architectural
firm, plus the cost rendered to us by the art experts,
Charles Davis has computed that it would take $3 ,. 000 , 000
to adequately f inance a new structure.
Alderman Leftwich and I wish to urge the City that if a
futur e bond issue is off ered to the public that one o f
the high priority items to be funds necessary f or the
restoration o f the painting and the proper housing o f it .

Dear Mr. Delius;
We appreciate your letter dated March 9, 1967 eapreseing your coacer of
the progress made on the Grant Park Concessions Building.
On July 11, 4966, we mailed Mx. Ms A. Tucker a letter in response to your
letter to him dated July 7, 1966, regerding the progress at that date. We pointed
out that the construction of the parking lot had been stopped due to the fact that
additional sewers were being designed to be installed in this area. Mr. Tucker
ordered this work stopped until the sewer had been installed. Approxzimateiy 30
days were lost while thie system was being designed, and en additional 7i days
were lost before we obtained a change order for this work. We complained vigor
cusly to Mr, Tucker and Mr. david iee for delaying the job during good weather,
end we warned them thet it would probabiy be sext spring before the weather would
perait the curbe end paving to be installed az the ground must be dry to perform
thie work.
In response to your phone call today, at which time you informed me thet our
bending company may be called in to complete this project, we would like to point
out that time extensions have been approved te extend construction through May 20,
1967. Also, we are entitled to extensions as outlined balow:
i, Additional time, 71 additicoral days while waiting om Chonge Order
Ho. 3 to be processed.
Ze Since the sewer contract was net approved watil appronimately 2
weekg befere bad weather began, the new deadline should be adjusted
siter dry weather oceurs this spring.
3. Additional time should be granted for alternates that were accepted,
4 Adéditionsi tiue should be grented for bad weather, which is out of
our controi, and provided for ia the contract.
MR. JACK C. DELIUS Mareh 20, 1967
S. Nemeroue ether dslays heve beca encountered, due to changes,
decisions, etc.
the curb and walk sub-contractor hes resumed bis work now wder protest,
as he desired to complete hie work in ove trip, but he ca not, as we are awaiting
spproval of a change order to add additional drainage and waiks. This delay and
many others could have heen avoided if the planming had been completed before the
time the work was ready to be installed.
we have endured numerous hardships on thia project, due tc delayed decisions,
change orders and payments. Since payments are seldom made te us on or before
the 15th of esch month as provided for in the contract, we heve to keep additional
eapitel availeble for this project.
We would like te aseure you that we ere, and have been most arxicvs to.
complete thia project, but it hap been increasingly appasent thet we cannot
obtain the proper ceooperstion necessary to help expedite this work.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir:
I am writing with reference to the Gun Club Park Site located near Gun Club
Drive, N.W., and the total lack of recreational facilities in the Northwest
Perry Homes Area of Atlanta.
I don't believe the Parlrn Department and the Board of Aldermen has acted in
good faith toward the citizens living in Perry Homes. Scottscrossing, Carver~-lollywood Hills, Lincoln :-Iomas and the Bankhead Road area.
Funds for the Gun Club Park !3ite were approved three years ago and additional
Federal funds have been approved for Parks construction. however. there are
only four (4) finished Tennis Courts on this site.
I am sure Parks Director. Jack Delius and members of the Board of Aldermen
are aware of the fact t~at over fifty-seven (57%) percent of the population
in these communities a:::e below the age of eigh·i :een.
Atlanta was able to build a Ctadium in one year. but it has re~uired three
years to build four (l:.) Tennis Courts on a Park ~it:e which will serve a
predominate Negro populadon. The Gun Club site would be adjacent to the
huge Perry Homes Housing P=oject.
The Citizens of these conmunities would appreciate a personal investigation
by the Mayor concerning the reason for the serious delay in completing thic
Vei'7 important public facility.
Fe will be looking fo ruard to your reply.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr.
FROM:
Jack Delius
SUBJECT:
Mr. Rich's donation to equip four playlots
The Land Agent is attempting to secure leases on a number
of new playlots. Until we have the land in hand - and I
have urged the Land Agent to proceed with all possible
speed - we can't really give Mr. Rich any locations or
equipment needs.
However, we do need the following equipment for existing
playlots:
373 Thurmond (Lightning) ---- Utility pole, lights and
reflectors, outdoor electrical receptacle.
Gillham Park (Blue Heaven) --- Utility _po.le, lights and
reflectors, outdoor electrical receptacle.
Haygood and Crew (Summer Hill) ---- Utility Pole , lights
and reflectors, outdoor electrical receptacle and water
fountain.
255 Dodd Avenue (Rented house f or recreation) ---- Pool
table, electric water fountain, outdoor water fountain.
Windsor Street near Richardson---- Swings, slides, basketball go a ls , sand box ,utility pole, lights and ref lectors
and outdoor electrical receptacl e.
Park Avenue & Lansing S.E . ---- Utility Pole , lights and
reflectors, outdoor e l ectri cal receptacle , water fountai n~
Arlington Cir., N. W. ---- Utility pole, l igbts and ref l ectors,
outdoor electrical receptacl e and water fountain .
�-2We are trying to lease a house at 81 Little St., S.E.
(Summer Hill) as a Recreation Center. We are attempting
to locate land on Bender St., S.W. near the Candler
Warehouse. The Land Agent is also trying to locate
land in Plunkett Town which is in extreme southeast
Atlanta near the Airport. We propose a new playlot on Hardee
Street at Aberdeen (Blue Heaven) as well as a playlot at
Perry Blvd. and Lively St., N.W. (Perry Homes) and anohter
playlot for Haynes and Foundry Sts. (Lighting).
We deeply appreciate Mr. Rich's offer and we shouldn't look
a gift horse in the mouth. But, if it would be possible,
we would appreciate having the funds donated for supplies,
milk for the children that come to the playlots, equipment,
and the expense for renting busses for transportation to-the
swimming pools, Stone Mountain, Mathis Dairies, the State
Capitol, etc. Of course, you have already advised me that
Mr. Rich is interested only in equipment. We appreciate this
very much. We estimate a cost of $ 2900. to equip.•.t . :bhe existing lots as outlined above. If we are successful ~in leasing
six additional playlots, it would cost us roughly $800 per
lot to grade, equip, install lighting and water fountain.
