Mr. William Wofford
Building Department
City of Atlanta

Dear Bill:

In reviewing the City's various funds in preparation of the 1969
budget, I have noted that we have not made significant expenditures
from the demolition grant fund. As you are aware, this fund was
established to handle the demolition grant project for which we
received a grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment.

According to our records, we have only expended a total of $19,229
for the years 1967 and 1968. A total of $85,540 was authorized
for this project.

I have reviewed your Mr. Waddell's report on this project in which
he indicates that there were a total of 157 structures to be demo-
lished under the program and that only 42 have been demolished in
a two year period.

It is a considerable cost to us in both time and effort to carry
this fund. It is the smallest fund and has the least activity of
any fund in our budget. I would appreciate your thoughts on how
we can move forward to complete this project and accomplish the
intent of this program,

Very truly yours,

Oh itz BS.

Charles L. Davis
Director of Finance
