Dear Mr. Axe;

i am enclosing a print showing the swimaing pool remodeling
for the Robinson Gymnasium. Will you check thie with Prof,
Allen and see if they heve any final suggestions in regard

to the general design of the pool?

Will you also see if they have any recommendationg relative ee
to any certain type of diving board which we should include ied
in the speeifications and whether or not a 14! board would

be satisfactory or if it must be of official length (16'),

If there are any other suggestions, or criticisms, relative to
the pool, we would be glad to receive them, We did not use

& recess tile ladder sinee that required offsetting the son-
crete construction, but I know they would like to have it.

It can be obtained at additional expense and the question is

in order to present a WPR form 617, request for authorization

for construction, so that we will have a priority rating on

this project, we have to answer sone questions. I believe you
can do « better job than I in preparing these answers and would
appreciate it if you would write me statements to the follow-

ing two quest » Which are the important ones in the applic-
ation; (1) What is the relationship of this project to war
production, essential civilian needs, or public health and safety.
(2) Give specific reasons why the projest is so urgent that it
oannot be deferred for the duration of the war,

I will fix up the rest of the answers if you want me to do it,
A copy of WPB form 617 is enclosed,

Yours truly,

Charles L. Marshall
Asst. State Architect
