From Albert Follme to -wit:
Honorable Mayor and Members
of City Council
Port Townsend, Washington
Gentlemen:
Reading in the Paper, that the North Beach Community Club intends to
extend its fishing ramp to low tide, wish to bring to your attention that any attempt to
build up any part of the present level of Beach will tend to build up Sand and other
Materials blocking and covering mg pipeline. It has been proved bt the digging of the
Sewer line and only corrected by the settling of the Material building. I therefore must
protect energAtically that extension, unless the party or parties responsible, also titled
owners of said property extent my pipeline beyound this contemplated buildup or extension
of ramp. Trusting you Gentlemen give adequate thought and fair Judgement on the matter
I remain yours,
very respectfully
Albert Follme
After some discussion in which Councilman Steve informed the Council that he had
investigated the situation and that neither the Ramp of' the Sewer would affect the pipe-
line and CitycAttonney Stevens informed the Council that there was no legal objection
what-soever to the Ramp or Extension the above Communication was tabled.
