MEMORANDUM
TO: Hon. 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 pdle, 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 for recreation) ---- Pool
table, electric water fountain, outdoor water fountain.
Windsor Street near Richardson -~--- Swings, slides, basket-—
ball goals, sand box, utility pole, lights and reflectors
and outdoor electrical receptacle.
Park Avenue & Lansing S.E. -—--- Utility Pole, lights and
reflectors, outdoor electrical receptacle, water fountain.
Arlington Cir., N.W. ----— Utility pole, lights and reflectors,
outdoor electrical receptacle and water fountain.
in
We 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 the exist—
ing 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.
