Dear Principal Toalson:

Are you plamning on building concrete tarvia or some
other type of court? We have some specifications for re-
inforsed concrete but have no other kind.

Frankly, I would not know what to prescribe for courts
in your section of the state, unless I would suggest the
reinforced gonerete. They, of course, are alleweather
courts and in the warmer climates they are lighting them
electrically for play in the evening. In that way you can
get full service from them and the maintenanse and upkeep
is megligible. Of course, the initial expense is great
but it is the proposition that we encounter when we con-
sider highways -- conerete or sanded reads. Eventually
the sanded roads eat up all the profit and you still have
nothing but a sanded road.

Sincersly yours,

Direotor of *hysical Education,
PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
