Dear George:
Miss Jimmie Mims, Recreation Division, has furnished a list of
eight playlot sites that would be suitable for permanent development.
These sites were selected from the standpoint of good past
participation as well as potential attractiveness and ease of
development.
I have visited all of the sites and selected what I considered
the best four. The four sites were then referred to the Land
Agent for a rough cost appraisal which amounts to a total of
$69,000.00 (The Angier and Parkway site had to be discarded as
it is in an urban renewal area.)
It would appear to me that the above possible cost for land
acquisition doesn't leave enough for development costs and I
would prefer to keep exploring for suitable sites that might be
bought for a lower price.
Our design criteria would be to incorporate modern, colorful
play equipment that would invite heavy participation by the
children.
George, please advise about the land purchases,
Sincerely,
li 0°
