MEMORANDUM TO
FROM

Our Housing Code Compliance Map, together with the Policy and
Procedure Guide, was delivered personally to HUD on March 7, 1967.
The map and policies were briefly discussed with Mr. Papageorge,
Mr. Taylor and Mr. Lackey who spoke highly of our program and
accomplishments in Atlanta.

I purposely took a representative from the Plumbing Division
(Mr. Mitchell) with me to deliver the map as I had been told that
our Plumbing Code may be questioned. During our discussion Mr.
Papageorge stated that he felt we had no problems with recertifi-
cation and, in fact, made the statement that Atlanta had the best
codes program in the region. The other gentlemen present agreed
but had some reservations about our plumbing code. We discussed
the matter agreeably and were furnished with a review of the code.
Mr. Mitchell and I have an appointment with the Codes staff on
Tuesday, March 14, to discuss the code review and firm up plans
for implementation of our conclusions.

As our Housing goals are stepped up considerably consistent
with the expanded staff, I have advised the Chief Housing Inspector
to place particular emphasis on field inspections and supervision.
This may cause him to be out of the office more than heretofore.

If there are any questions or matters concerning our Housing

Improvement Program or policies, I will be available to assist you
or the members of your staff in any way possible.
