Dear Toms:

Please keep this matter cpnfidential for the time
being.

At your earliest convenience please rendermme an
Opinion if it would be legal for the City of Atlante
to lease part of Grant Park to the Atlanta - Fulton
County Stadium Authority. More specifically, the
leasing of the Cyclorama Building and immediate grounds
thereof, We might possibly use the Authority as a
financing vehicle, and the operation of the Cyclorame,
its service to t lic, etc. would not be changed.
I advised Mayor Allen and Mr. Lenders yesterday that
you had informed me that the House had reported out
the Bill which would correct the 1958 law which
prohibits our leasing or seliing park dedicated lend.

Please do not discuss these very tentetive plans with
enyone and thanking you for an early reply, I am

Sincerely,

Jack C, Delius
General Manager of
Parks and Recreation
