Mr. Allen A. Phillips, Jr.
Box 5788
Demorest, Georgia
Dear Mr. Phillips:
This will acknowledge your letter of January 28th
concerning the action taken by the City in abandoning
portions of Peyton and Harlan Roads.
The City of Atlanta took the action which we felt was
best for all parties. This action in no way restricts
anyone from buying a house anywhere in the City of
Atlanta.
This is the 52nd area or street in the past eleven months
which has undergone transition. Fifty-one have been
solved satisfactorily. This is an artificial situation
created by unscrupulous real estate dealers and
developers who, by panicing the neighborhood, sought
to gain great profits from the sale of property.
Sincerely yours,
Ivan Allen, Jr.,
Mayor
