Motion carried. From Crown Zellerbach Corporation, to -wit: Pt. Townsend, !lash. July 3, 1944 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City Hall, c/o City Clerk, Port Townsend, °:ashington Gentlemen: The Snow Creek crossing of the Port Townsend pipe line will require a protective bulkhead and it is the intention of the Crown Zellerbach Corporation an part of its obligation to maintain the pipe line to get the required construction under way at once and completed before large volumes of water are agulnKarried by Snow Creek. T'-e bulkhead to be constructed will be similar to the one constructed sane seven or eight years ago, some 800 feet downstream from present pro- posed job. It will, however, be longer and of greater cost; and it will require most of the time available this summer during low water to finish it. The necessity for this bulkhead is caused by the fact that where the pipe line crosses Snow Greek it lies exposed in the bottom of the creek bed. So exposed it is subject to injury and possible rupture, first because the erosion of the creek is cutting away the pipe support, and second, because during heavy run-offs the creek brings down logs and other heavy debris. The pipe line rifiit of way adjoins certain lane owned by John Schmocher, In carrying on our work it will no doubt be necessary to temporarily occupy some of the land. ;le refer to that land adjoining the creek and now used for grazing. Er. Sch:�ocher has indicated that whenever vie proceed with the ,job described he would take offense at our doing so without consulting him. He expressed some resentment about past occurences out there that caused him certain loss and annoyance. ':e believe this had to do with the flood caused by a log jam before the existing bulkhead visa built. The above is written as our sincere desire to have the necessary work done without incurring Mr. Schmocher's resentment. Y!e should like to suggest that Mir. Schmocher be advised regarding this work. Possibly this could best be done by nr. Si Lockhart, city water superintendent, and 1:r. H. L. Bukoasky, plant engineer, contacting >s. Schmocher. Yours very truly, CR01411 ZELLEh5ACH CORPORATION Port Townsend Division E. W. Erickson hesident Manager This matter was referred to the Plater Comrnittee of the Council and to the Plater Superintendent. Carroll Arrives Councilman Carroll arrived at this time and assumed his proper place in the proceedings. OhDE;AIXES A:1D : ESOLUTIUNS RESOLUTION :10.
