As previously stated, we are extremely an..~ious to get back into operation at Per~ rson Park at the earliest p:,ssible date and it has been determined that it would not be practic l for the limited number of car nters in this department to undert ke the rep ir, Becau e of the time element in bidding, prep ration of oo.nt.rects, etc. , I ' m afraid th eummer • uld be ov r; before subst ntial repairs had been mad. were delight _ when informe by the insur nee c rrier th t they would prefer to follow the policy curr ntly used by the Atlanta School s yst in permitting the inpur n ca~rier to bring in t ir own bonded cont,:aotor to do the rk. Accordingly , I discussed this matter with llrJ Chairman, s ell with. Mr . Charl s vis and Mr. Earl Landers . 11 o,f thes gentlemen gJ;e d tbat the most practical thing to do is to allow the insur nc comp ny to engag oontr ctor .

Accordingly , with th pprov l of my COroroitte , I authorized ccur te Con.atruction ·Company to stei-t WQrk on Perkerson Recreation building Tuesday, My 6, 1969.
