Ivan Allen, Jr. FROM: Jack Delius SUBJECT: Mr. Rich's donation to equip four playlots The Land Agent is attempting to secure leases on a number of new playlots. Until we have the land in hand - and I have urged the Land Agent to proceed with all possible speed - we can't really give Mr. Rich any locations or equipment needs. However, we do need the following equipment for existing playlots: 373 Thurmond (Lightning) ---- Utility pole, lights and reflectors, outdoor electrical receptacle. Gillham Park (Blue Heaven) --- Utility _po.le, lights and reflectors, outdoor electrical receptacle. Haygood and Crew (Summer Hill) ---- Utility Pole , lights and reflectors, outdoor electrical receptacle and water fountain. 255 Dodd Avenue (Rented house f or recreation) ---- Pool table, electric water fountain, outdoor water fountain. Windsor Street near Richardson---- Swings, slides, basketball go a ls , sand box ,utility pole, lights and ref lectors and outdoor electrical receptacl e. Park Avenue & Lansing S.E . ---- Utility Pole , lights and reflectors, outdoor e l ectri cal receptacle , water fountai n~ Arlington Cir., N. W. ---- Utility pole, l igbts and ref l ectors, outdoor electrical receptacl e and water fountain . �-2We are trying to lease a house at 81 Little St., S.E. (Summer Hill) as a Recreation Center. We are attempting to locate land on Bender St., S.W. near the Candler Warehouse. The Land Agent is also trying to locate land in Plunkett Town which is in extreme southeast Atlanta near the Airport. We propose a new playlot on Hardee Street at Aberdeen (Blue Heaven) as well as a playlot at Perry Blvd. and Lively St., N.W. (Perry Homes) and anohter playlot for Haynes and Foundry Sts. (Lighting). We deeply appreciate Mr. Rich's offer and we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. But, if it would be possible, we would appreciate having the funds donated for supplies, milk for the children that come to the playlots, equipment, and the expense for renting busses for transportation to-the swimming pools, Stone Mountain, Mathis Dairies, the State Capitol, etc. Of course, you have already advised me that Mr. Rich is interested only in equipment. We appreciate this very much. We estimate a cost of $ 2900. to equip.•.t . :bhe existing lots as outlined above. If we are successful ~in leasing six additional playlots, it would cost us roughly $800 per lot to grade, equip, install lighting and water fountain. JCD:bjw �
