Hon. Mayor and City Council,
City of Port Townsend,
Gentlemen: -
The land thru which runs the overflow pipe of the city pipe line near the city lake is
owned by the Lindstrom Mill Company, a corporation.
I might say that from what I can learn from former members of the City Council and Mr.
Scott, it was understood by the representatives of the City that an easement thru the land in quee-
tion would be granted the city free of charge.
Both the writer and Councilman Quenell interviewed Mr. Lindstrom on Thursday last and he
now denies that this was his tender, but that he would want $50.00 for an easement thru the land in
queetimn.
Mr. Allen of Donworth, Todd & Holman has ordered a certificate of ownership from S. W.
Peach & Son and it seems that they are going to make a pretty thorough check before accepting the
lease.
I address this communication to your honorable body that you may govern yourselves so-
cordingly in the premises.
Respectfully,
W. J. Daly Jr.
Said communication was referred to the Water Committee.
Motion to pay Lindstrom Mill Co.
It was then moved by Councilman Quenell and seconded by Councilman Robbins that upon the ten-
der of a good and sufficient deed or easement by the Lindstrom Mill Co., that the Mayor and the
City Clerk be authorized to draw a warrant in the sum of $50.00 in payment of title to said right-
of-way. Upon roll call, all six councilmen present voted in favor thereof and motion was declared
carried.
