City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
The members of this office and myself want to commend you for the wonderful
leadership shown during the recent mob violence activities in Atlanta. That
positive non-violent reaction stops them in their tracks and we hope you can
continue to be successful with this technique.
Prior to the recent disturbance I had written you a letter concerning the fire-
man's walkout, which should be a cause for concern for all citizens. It sickens
me to see the federal government drain off off our tax money and waste it on pover-
ty programs and other senseless activity while our public servants, firemen,
school teachers, policemen and municipal employees remain underpaid. One cannot
expect talented, responsible people to work for low income, I favor increasing
local taxes so that this money does not reach the federal government who spends
it so irresponsibly.
If this trend is not corrected, I fear it will give the federal government excuse
to interfere with all activities down to the conmunity level, We of the medical
profession are beginning to feel the liberty chilling influence of the federal
bureaucracy since insection of medicare since July 1, 1966,
Sincerely,
(a L bee Che L A a t / =
