Memorandum from Floyd B. Taylor to George B. Hartzog

Memorandum from the Superintendent of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, Floyd B. Taylor, to the regional director, presumably George B. Hartzog, concerning the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial and other items. Several topics are discussed including the two causeways connecting Theodore Roosevelt Island to the Virginia shore, the dismissal of a proposed landscaping plan, the decision to only remove dead trees where public safety is concerned, the reason for a delay in the completion of foot trails, the status of the ferryboat and boat dock and the vandalism which occurs on the island due to the access provided during non-visitor hours, the safety of the moat footbridges and the recommendations by the designing architect and the availability of funds.
