W ILLIAM R. FISHER, M .D. JAMES E. PRUETT, M.D, SUITB ~65-C, DOCTORS BUILDING 490 PaachlrH Strael, N, &. ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30 308 JA 4-2666 August 29 , 1967 Chief Herbert T. Jenldns Atlanta Police Department Atlanta , Georgia Dear Chief Jenkins : After a letter from Mr. Edmund W . -Hughes of J uly 7, 1967 , of which you have a copy, and my letter t o you of July 17, 1967, I fe lt that the matter of using the taxi lane to pick up private passengers at the Atlanta Stadium after stadium events had been settled. However, I was again prevented from doing so after a baseball game a few days ago. As I stated in my last letter to you, I appreciated your consideration of my request and your help in making it possible for us to use this lane, but apparently your patrolmen have not received instructions to allow this. Since I am told on the one hand that such a thing is now permissible and am told on the other hand that is is not permissible, I can certainly E?ee why the patrolmen are confused. Since it apparently has already been deoided that this lane should be and is available to private vehicles to use after stadium events for picking up private passengers, I would certainly appreciate your informing your officers of this fact or else giving me something in writing which I may show them. It is embarrassing to be stopped in the middle of the street repeatedly after being given assurance that what I am doing is legal. I would appreciate your consideration and help in this matter. Respectfully, I// ? ; ,(; ~~1 William R. Fisher, M.D. WRF/lp Copies: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. William C. Bartholomay Edmund w. Hughes �
