443 & H EAT I N G STONEWALL ST. S . W ., ATLANTA , GEORGIA 30313 February 14 , 196 9 Mayor Ivan Alle ny J r. Ci ty Hall Atl anta , Georgia Dear Sir : I t is with deepest c on c ern that thi s complai nt i s f orwarde d t o youo A person c an s uffer just so muc h bureauc ratic oppres s ion before s ome thing has to be done . I am attac hing a copy of a letter r ecieved by u s around the first of the year. This i s based on an ordinanc e adopted by the aldermanic board and approved by you on December 16 and De c ember 18 respectively. This particular amended section of the code is not prac tical to perform or to enforce, this seems to be entirely harassment of the citizens of this city who use gas, and for any plumber or person involved in connecting of appliances. If this section of the code is retained it will be. necessary for us and I am sure, many other contractors, to discontinue the practice of connecting heaters, gas dryers or gas ranges. The performance of work under the conditions :·or the amendment would be prohibitive for us and for our customers. When citizens want their work done we will have to tell them that the City of Atlanta Government has made it impossible for ' us to perform such work, we will send them a copy of your ordinance and advise them to take. their case to the sour ce of the oppressive legislation. We would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this with you and to e x plain the impossible situation that this presents. JWC : DS Enco ,f 0.J �
