The Honorable Mr. Ivan Allen jr., Mayor
City of Atlanta
Georgia

Dear Sir, eo;
¥our appearances on the televisian news-

casts, and the recent columns in the newspapers con-
cerning the critical shortage in low-income housing
have brought me to this point of addressing you.

I am an innocent owner of slum property,
( just of pocket handkerchief size, but it weighs on
my mind and heart), and I wish to do all in my power
to correct the situation, but I am “ham strung " by
The Housing Authority.

Your appeal to private investors, not rely-
ing on Federal Government programs, encourages me to
respond. My area of participation would be very small.
not in the least comparable with the Celotex Corporat-
ion, but as a last descendant of an old Atlanta fami-

ly, and concerned with the well-being of us all, I
would so very much like to talk to some one who can

offer an answer.
If you are interested I can give further
details and facts.

Most sincerely,

ecm. ee Poe

Mrs. Henry H. Ware Jr.
