Dr. Martin L. King, 5r.
Ebenezer Baptist Church
413 Auburn Avenue, N.E.
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Dr. King:

It has recently came to my attention that your organization
has not yet broken ground on your 152 unit Rawson-Washington
project.

As you know this is an important element of Atlanta's over-
all low-income housing program and is very much needed in meeting
the City’s goals for housing omr low and moderate income families.

I wish to encourage and urge you to move as rapidly as
possible in getting construction actually started on this very
important development and its ultimate completion as soon as
possible.

If problems arise which tend to delay this development and
which you are unable to resolve, please call on our Housing
Resources Committee to assit you.

I wish you the best of success in carrying this devélopment
to early completion and I hope to the mutual benefit of both
your organization and the City of Atlanta.

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr,
Mayor
