Letter dated 8/15/1930 to Anne Bellangee Call from A. E. Shalkenbach in Chicago, Illinois (where he living temporarily caring for his sick mother). Both are Trustees of the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation, and are continuing their discussion about whether the FSTC should giving Corporation owned parklands to the Town of Fairhope. Shalkenbach's opinion is that no transfer should take place for two reasons. First, he thinks the Town of Fairhope does not properly care for public streets and spaces, and concludes the addition of the parks will put them in the same condition. Second, he said the language of the FSTC constitution requires the Corporation to maintain the parks; there is no option to transfer lands to the Town. Shalkenbach says if the parklands are transferred to the Town, then "Fairhope as a demonstration is a flat failure." From the correspondence of Anne B. Call. |
