Dear Tom:

Please keep this matter confidential for the time
being. ie
At your earliest convenience please rendermme an
Opinion if it id be legal for the City of Atlanta
to lease part of Grant Park to the Atlanta - Fulton
County Stadium Authority. More specifically, the
leasing of the Cyclorama Building and immediate grounds
thereof. We might possibly use the Authority as a
financing vehicle, and the operation of the Cyclorama,
its service to t lic, etc. would not be changed.

I advised Mayor Allen and Mr. Landers yesterday that
you had informed me that the House had reported out
the Bill which would correct the 1958 law which
prohibits our leasing or selling park dedicated land.

Please do not discuss these very tentative plans with
anyone and thanking you for an early reply, I am

Sincerely,

Jack C, Delius
General Manager of
Perks and Recreation
