1953/10/30: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.101899)
Date: October 30 1953Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. You can order the post hole digger before the Trustees approve of it. Rather than adding more men, I want you to add other labor saving machinery. As housing developments get nearer, we will need to fence the entire Arboretum. Draw up an annual fencing plan to submit to the Trustees, using your new post hole digger and your existing crew. For the housing project, ask Mr. Steinbrecher to run a survey of the two locations we have tentatively decided on, giving contours at 25 ft. intervals. You could then sketch in houses, drives, sanitary arrangements before inviting in the architects. Also check with Steinbrecher about the cost of updating our 20 year old general plot of the Arboretum. He is pleased with the preliminary layout of the laboratory building and he thinks something very good will develop out of it.
