This he #ai done. Also a letter in regard to the inspection of the main line from Roadworks to the City Limits. Both letters are attached to this communication. Yours verytruly yours, W. J. Sadler, City Eng. Letter Re. Tunnel at City Lake. _ City of Port Townsend, Port Townsend, Washington, April 24, 1931 Port Townsend, Wash. Attention; Mr. W. J. Sadler, City Engineer. Dear Sir: - A part of the City of Port Townsend water pipe line at the City Lake line in a tunnel. From the portal of the tunnel; for a distance of approximately 8o ft., the sides and roof of the tunnel were timbered at the time the tunnel was driven. The timbering is now in a very bad state and needs to be replaced, witj in a short time, to prevent the overlying dirt and rooks from falling on top of the two steel pipes inside of the tunnel. One of these pipes in the 24 inch main and generally runs full of water, The other is a 18 inch overflow pipe and at all times is only partially filled. Should the roof of the tunnel fall in on top of this smaller pipe there is nothing to prevent it being damaged and rendering it incapable of further use. No doubt should this occur the 24 inch pipe would also be damaged to a large extent. When the writer examined this tunnel with you and our Mr. Ticknor last week we estimated that it would require approximately $300.00 worth of material and labor to replace the timber and you agreed that thi should have been done at the time the two pipes were installed. Will you kindly take up this matter with the City Council, or the proper Committee, as soon as possible and obtain authorization for performing this work which this Company considers outside of ordinary work in maintaining the water line of the City of Port Townsend Yours very truly NATIONAL PAPER PRODUCTS COMPANY H.
