The Honorable Ivan Allen
Mayor, City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Ivan:

The article which I saw with reference to the County's lack
of cooperation in connection with housing alarmed me somewhat.
I hope that we shall be able to proceed to work out a workable
and cooperative program with Fulton County.

For the record, the writer and Mr. Jack Izard met with the

County Commissioners and their staff approximately one year

ago on this subject. We officially represented the Housing
Authority on this matter. I reported back to the Atlanta

Housing Authority that the County Commissioners were most cordial
and cooperative and they had assured us that while they had no
money or means for sponsorship themselves, they would cooperate
and work with the Atlanta Housing Authority and staff in the
development of housing in Fulton County. Mr. IZard and I reported
the details of this to the Board and staff of the Housing ;
Authority, and this has been followed up from time to time.
Unfortunately, I am afraid a bog-down has occurred somewhere which
resulted in this misunderstanding.

I sincerely hope that this can be cleared up and we can begin to
make progress in this undertaking.

With best regards, I am

Sincerely youys,





Fran TOYS sce
