Dear Mr. Perselis;

Reference is made to your letter of July 23, 1969, in which
you inquire about the possibility of the City furnishing
recreational services to citizens of Atlanta whe live in
public housing. I believe perhaps that the conclusion you
have reached, that is, "that the only reason such services —

are not supplied to these citizens, is that a definition
of City services hes been made that prevents City funds
from being expended for this purpose” is not correct.

As you are aware, the City is in dire need of additional
financial resources, and it is for this reason that the
City Parks Department is limited as to areas inte which
they can place recreation personnel,

imbureed for such services,

I am forwarding a copy of your letter together with mine

Committee for further discussion and consideration.

Sincerely,
