Dear Miss Kelley:

This letter is in reference to your correspondence to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
tequesting that the above-mentioned property be beautified so as to
benefit the neighborhood.

We would certainly like to do this in that we have a continuing program
of developing remnanta and swall pareels of land left over from street
widening, ete. However, we are advised in this case that this property
was purchased by the City Land Agent, acting as agent for the State
Highway Department, for the construction of the Stone Mountain Freeway.
We are further advised that the construction should start in the near
future. We have been keeping up rather closely with the construction
timetable in that the freeway does go through a part of Candler Park.

Thank you again for your suggestion, I am
Cordiaily,

Jack C. Delius

General Manager of

Parks and Recreetion
