Dear Dre Allen:

This is in confirmation of our recent chat sbout the
propesed Lawn Bewls court for Ke Ue

I would like to say that Z em much in sympathy with the
construction of such a court, and believe it would be a value
able addition to the Campuses e

The lecation proposed: 1 ¢ = in Fowler Grove, will fit

in very well with the general campus development scheme.

Some care should be exeroised in order to locate the court
exactly on an axis running through the center of Fraser Hell, so .
thet when the Anatomy building is demolished, the effect will

be that of an open lewn~panel on the main axis of the proposed
Quadrangles ‘The fact that the lewn-panel will also be utilitarian
makes the design so moh the betters

Without making a study of the area, I would say that a tile
drainage system should be installed, and also a pop-up watering
system, Mescarine=grass, available at the Ottawa Nurseries is
probably the best answer to the grass problem, as it is dense,
tough, rugged, and will stand very close clippings

Tf I can be of further service in consultation I shall be
gled to obliges |

Sineerely,

We De Durell
