DIXIE HILLS COMMUNITY COUNCIL
2193 Verbena Street, No. W.
Atlanta, Georgia 30314
February 24, 1969
Mr, Ivan Allen, Mayor of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Sir:
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention a definite
need that exists in this community, Namely, the fact that there is
no up-to-date and sanitary swimming pool in this area, We know that
you know that all public pools that are not chlorinated in this city
have been or will be condemned by the Health Department, We know of
no definite date set for closing these pools,
We do know from our personal survey that Mosley, Washington and
Maddox are in this condition, therefore, are condemned or should be.
As far as we can ascertain no plans are known to replace or update
these pools,
Now Anderson Park is in a state of development and this community is
proud of the progress made as of this date, We also know that it was
too long a time before any improvement was made, and we feel that it
should be completed as soon as possible, We know that funds are
limited to some degree, but we also feel that a pool at Anderson Park
this year should be number one priority over all others, because of
the unsanitary conditions of every pool in this complete area,
It was stated, factually or not, by a city official that Anderson
Park would have a pool and bath house completed this year (1969) by
the close of school and opening of city parks, The people of this
community, especially the children and teenagers, are hopefully
looking forward to the completion and opening of this recreation
facility.
As stated in the newspapers and verbally to members of this
committee, there is no money available at this time for this
project, We feel, however, because of the conditions of the
existing park pools in this area somehow, somewhere, the money
must be found for a pool at Anderson Park this summer,
We feel that you as a person who has shown a definite interest
in the future growth and development of our overall city will
cooperate in seeking means and ways to get a swimming pool for
Anderson Park, We know we can count on you,
Please give this your earliest possible attention and advise us
on what other steps we may take to expedite this project, We
would appreciate hearing from you in the next seven days,
Sincerely,
