Dear Mr. Allen:

Mr. Metcalf has referred to this office your inquiry of
January 51 regarding concrete tennis courts.

I enclose two publications of the Portland Cement Association;
"Reinforced Concrete Tennis Courts - Suggested Specifications"
dated August 1936, which gives their requirements, and "Concrete
Builder" dated October 9=15, 1933.

t also enclose a copy of my letter to Mr. Hebert, of the
Athletic Department, in which I mention requirements for concrete
courts, three of which have been built here,

In this design we improve on the Portlant Cement Association's
requirements somewhat,

If this does not give you the necessary information, I shall
be glad to clear up any further points.

Very truly yours,

bn Chae he / Cah?

P. S. Kindly return the "Concrete Builder" when it has served its
purpose.
