Mrs. C. R. Brumby, Jr.

Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mrs. Brumby:
It was really a pleasure meeting with you and the other ladies
this week to discuss your proposed Beautification Program for
the Boulevard Area,
I wish to assure you that the City of Atlanta, and particulary
this department, stands ready in any way and every way to assist
you in this worthwhile "self-help" project. We have already had
delivered to Mrs. Cantrell of the East Central Neighborhood Center,
six attractive orange and white waste receptacles. As you suggested,
we will allow the neighborhood to choose the block in which the cans
should be placed.
It is my understanding that our Dr. Buchanan has contacted you and
will meet with your group later next week to discuss the tree planting
program and the possibility of beautifying a front yard. Of course,
the City of Atlanta cannot spend public funds or use city employees
on private property; however, we are glad to give technical advice and
assistance and I hope that we could receive private donations from
nurseries, etc. for lawn, shrubs, etc.
A very fine young man on our staff, Mr. Stan Ayer, Assistant Parks
Engineer, has been briefed on the overall project and is extremely
willing and anxious to lend his technical abilities in the design
of the planting scheme for the yard so chosen.
I look forward to hearing from you and please keep me posted on your
progress, I am ‘Cordially
