Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
204 City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. Allen:

The Mayor and Aldermen must give serious consideration,
direction support, and if necessary some financial
assistance to Mr. Robert Sommerville’s proposal

on "Rapid Busways."

The city of Atlanta, its merchants, its industries and
commercial employers, will be strangled soon by auto-
mobile traffic. The continued growth and very development
of our city demands the immediate implementation of the
rapid busways system.

This system, as proposed, will be the method for acquiring
right of way and thereby will speed up the implementation of
the rapid transit system. ;

Please exercise your influence to see that this system is
adopted,

Sincerely,

Ship
Joe Tayl
