MEMORANDUM

TO: Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr.
FROM: Jack Delius

SUBJECT: Piedmont and Harris Triangle - New Fountain

Thank you for my copy of your letter to Mr. Jack Adair
of March 2, 1967, regarding the plaque and the dedication
of the above park.

We are proceeding to have the plaque cast and it will take
several weeks. The trees and other plants have been hand
picked by A. P. Brindley, our Parks Engineer, and we hope
the Purchasing Department will release the purchase order
to Monroe Nursery this date.

We have requested the fountain supplier to expedite the
shipment of the mechanism that goes in the basin. Delivery
is being quoted to us from 4 to 6 weeks. I think it would
be advisable to have the park completely planted, the
fountain in operation, and the plaque installed before
having a formal dedication.

The Parks Committee has not decidéd on a name for the tri-
angle but we are referring to it in our resolutions and in
our departmental files as the Piedmont and Harris Triangle.
I think it would be best if we would officially name it
this but refer to the fountain as the "Adair Fountain". We
already have an Adair Park.

I have asked Jimmy Little to have a formal resolution with
the seal of the City framed for delivery to Mr. Adair.
