“My dear Mr. Shenk

In answer to your inquiry of May 2lst concerning the various
types of tennis courts, we are sending you under separate cover
our special bulletin on surfacing which contains the experiences
and recommendations of a number of recreation leaders with various
types of surfacing. This bulletin has a fee of 20¢ which you can
return to us in stamps upon its receipt. We also enclose our
latest general list of publications for your reference filese ©

We should like to suggest a few additional sources of
information for youe The U. S. Lawn Tennis Association at 120
Broadway, New York City issues a very fine bulletin called "Care
and Construction of Tennis Courts” priced at 25¢. The Athletic
Institute at 209 S. State Street, Chicago, Ill. has Bulletin #42 ~
entitled "Construction of Tennis Courts" priced at 30¢. The Portland
Cement Association at 347 Madison Avenue, New York City will be
glad to send you its pamphlet called "Tennis Courts for All-Year
Sports" which givés construction details for cement courtse

A great many recreation executives at the present time try
to build batteries of tennis courts since this is the most economical
way of doing ite It also gives the opportwmity of using this hard-
surfaced area for a number of other activities. In the winter such
an area can be sprayed and used for ice skating. In the spring and
fall it can be used for roller skating, hopscotch, jump rope, volley
ball, basketball, paddle tennis, shuffleboard, end the like. On
summer evenings such an area can be used for outdoor dancinge

We received the 35¢ which you sent us in payment of material
