Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Ivan:

I read in the paper where the Zoning Committee turned down an application
for 510 public housing units under the Turn Key program at Browntown Road and
Bolton Road.

As you are fully aware, both you and the Board of Aldermen are pressing the
Housing Authority for more public housing, the need for which is very great. We
are trying to do our best, but as you also know, the maiter of obtaining sites for
public housing is extremely difficult. We had gotten this particular site cleared
until it was turned down by the Zoning Committee.

Of course, we are agents for the City in carrying out this program which is
most urgent, but if we cannot get sites approved, we cannot get the housing
built,

With kindest regards, I am

Yours very truly, a Ch

Edwin L. Sterne

Chairman, Atlanta Housing Authority
