October 29, 1969 Chief C. H. Hildebrand, Jr. Atlanta Fire Department 46 Courtland Street, S. E. Atlanta, Georgia Dear Chief: I am indebted to you for having sent me a copy of the Annual Report of the Fire Department. I shall pass it around the premises. It ls mo t complete and the taxpayer can read It and answer all the questions, and I know It is prepared with no small amount of work. I have been in Atlanta seventy-seven years, they say, and with this company almost sixty years. I have known many firemen ln my time and remember when many of the various houses were built, and when Assistant Chief Bill Cummings lived ln the block near me at Pulliam Street and Georgia Avenue. By the way, the fire bell in one of the boxes was actually repeated in his residence. One of the things all of us carried in those days was a card with the number of the fire alarm boxes and their street addres1. You have a right to be proud of your department and so has our Mayor·, for whom I have a profound respect. Sincerely yours, GWW:aac cc: Mayor Ivan Allen / ~ ~ ~5~-; .. AA~\\ l / /L P.1,:_· �
