Mr. Erickson states that Mr. Simpson has made an estimate of the cost of this re
pair at the sum of approximately $200.00. The Paper Company assures us that they will fu
nish the necessary engineering providing the city furnishes the labor.
From the information that Councilman Lammers and myself have gleaned, the work o

I am authorized to inform you that any action that you may take in this matter.
