Mr. Wendell Campbell, Office Manager
Water Works Department
City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Wendell:
Thank you very much for your telephone call of April 11, 1967
inquiring if water supplied by your department should be placed
on @ non-revenue basis when used by private individuals to care
for the trees planted in the downtown area.
I firmly believe that these accounts should be placed on 2 non-
revenue basis in that the tree planting program by private
individuals is in fact part of the City's overall beautification
plan. However, at the present time, the Department of Parks is
not responsible nor does it have the capacity to maintain these
trees. We have requested the beautification crew for several years
but it has not been possible for one to budgeted in our general
appropriations. However, I am of the opinion that ultimately these
trees will become the City's responsibility.
Trusting the above information will suit your purposes in discussing
this matter with the Water Committee, I am
Cordially,
Jack G. Delius
General Manager of
Parks and Recreation
