Sometime ago Ilgought a tract of land in Al Pettygroves addition on Morgans "ill with
the expressed intentions of constructing a home upon this site. Upon investigation I find that the
city overflow comes down the street on the side of this tract. It has washed considerable of the
street away and with it has gone some of my proper -by.. I wish at this time to draw your attention
to this with the sole purpose that your honorable body will rectify this as soon as possible.
Respectfully yours,

Honorable Mayor and City Uouncil,
Port Townsend, Washingtonl
Gentlemen:
Under date of the 17th instant, the Steel Tank and Pipe Company is quoting you
$425.00 for doing the necessary cutting and welding at the screen box and the feeder line into
City Lake. As you will recall, the National Paper Products Oompany offered to do this work for
the Gity of necessary, but in ta]]dng with Mr. Schoenwerk the other day, I formed the impression
that it might be difficult for them to release their welder for the length of time required, and
therefore asked the Steel Tank and Pipe Company to submit a figure to you.
