Dear Mr. Williams;

In answer to your letter requesting our opinion on the Urban Corps and the
interns used by this office, we should like to give you the following report,

We had originally hoped that at least five or six interns could be assigned
to this office to assist us in studying high accident locations within the city.
This number would have justified our assigning a full time supervisor to their
activities. However, since the beginning of the Urban Corps program on June 16
we have had only one intern assigned to our department. This intern, Harold
R. Nash, Jr. has received a very minimum amount of supervision but has done a
commendable job. Using procedures outlined in Traffic Engineering publications
he has organized and carried out both the office and field investigations in a
very satisfactory manner. He has also worked very well with other members of
our permanent staff. Based on this limited experience, we feel that an
expanded project of this type could be of great value to this department and to
the motoring public.

We appreciate the opportunity to make these comments to you concerning
the Urban Corps program. If you desire any additional information, please
feel free to call on us. y

Yours very truly, -

e/g Mdi)
