Dear Mr. Cunningham:
Yours of May Sth to Mayor Allen has been referred
to me for consideration.
We have under way now rapid trangit development in
Atlanta that is closing out the planning stage and starting
the preliminary engineering. Ahead of us is the heavy-duty
political job of selling the project to the public so that
public financing can be made available to us in sufficient
measure to permit us to get into detail final design. For
the immediate future I can offer you little encouragement
because we are keeping our staff very small and putting most
of our resources into the hands of our consultants. After
public financing is received, we will be in a position to
consider seriously people of your background because it will
be necessary to enlarge the administrative, engineering and
public information staffs. I do not foresee public financing
at this level during the current year, and only with a smash-
ing success can I even predict it for next year. In the mean-
while, I am very glad to have your resume and will keep it at
the top of my file which has been set up to show us the resources
that may be available when it is necessary to enlarge our staff.
I assure you that when the time comes we will give serious
consideration to your application.
With best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
H. L. Stuart,
General Manager.
