Dear Mr. Peters:

Thank you for my copy of your letter of May 18, 1967 to
the Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr. written on behalf of the citizens
of the Pryor Street Community. As of last Thursday, the
Land Agent was endeavoring to secure a lease on a lot
facing Pryor Street across from the Pryor Street School.
This is only one of several locations we are attempting to
. secur and convert into a play facility for this summer.

We have had some problems with the staffing of the Dodd
Avenue Recreation Center; at the present time, there are
four people assigned to this facility. We selected a
resident of the community who we thought would be ideal in
that he is in touch with the wishes and desires of a number
of people. However, speaking candidly, some poor relation-
ship has existed between this individual and the other
three staff members. We are presently evaluating the best
thing to do in the interest of the community towards chang-
ing the staff or making reassignment.

By copy of this letter, I am advising Miss Virginia Carmichael,
Director of Recreation, that you would be in a position to
furnish volunteer workers to assist in this program on a

We appreciate your civic interest and thanking you again for
your letter, i em
Cordial ly e
