Dear Mr. Allen:

I am taking the liberty of directing this letter of
inquiry to you as I feel you can give us the best
possible advise.

Our problem is ir connection with the construction of
four cement tennis courts as apart of a recreational
project under WPA for Colby. We can't seem to get any
authoritative advise as to how far the backstops should
be from the edge of the courts.

The plans as now drawn allow a distance of fifteen feet,
but a number of people here seem to think that the distance
should be greater.

It is possible thet on some occasions the courts will be

used for tournament play and we want to allow the correct

distance between the courts and the backstops.

If you can advise me in this matter, I will be very grateful

for the favor.

Very truly yours,

ell
