Honorable Ivan Allen

Mayor of the City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

Several months ago I wrote you and told
you of Georgia Tech's study of the economic impact
of the Braves on the City of Atlanta, With usual
academic speed, it has just now been published
and I thought it might be helpful to your staff,

During the early months of this study
we were concerned that while the Braves were
having a significant impact on the business
community, their contribution to city revenue
was relatively insignificant, Perhaps the newly
proposed Business License Tax will divert some
of this money to the city.

I would like to take this opportunity
to tell you how intensely proud I am to be an
Atlantan; I never miss an opportunity to sing
the praises of our city. If I can ever be of
any assistance to you or your staff, I would be
delighted to help sustain the progress which has
characterized Atlanta during your administration,

With best wishes,

Very truly yours,

.

G. D. Houser
