Dear iKrs. Butler,
�de are indeed distres��d by your letter of May 19 which notified
us of the proposed reconstruction of siaewalks on Wilder Ave. between S�.immit and
�
Selby nvenues„
We built our present home on tre southeast corner of Fortland Avr.
and N:ilder Ave. in 1933 and have maint=iina� it in a presentable manner for thirty-n�
.years. th'e complied with so-calle� n,�cessary improvements when they were recommended
by city officials even tr.ou�r_ we t�ersor_all,y h�Id the opinion that on more tran one
occasion they were superflu.oizs ar.d ill-advised. One example was tt-1e laying of new
sidewalks on Portland Avenue in :^:.ugust, 19b5, We were assessed w149.82, although our
si3ewalk was not damaged by tree roots, since there are no trees on our fifty foot
frontage, but the new sidewalk ha3 to be completed to the corner.
'r,e realize that roots of older trees cause sidewalk tiles to rise and
beco�re irregular. It does not seem impractical to suggest that those sidewalk blocks
aifecte3 by roots be lifted, tre tree roots be reduced or removed where necegsary, an�
the present, unbroken sidet�ralk tiles be firmly replaced. The cost of such Iabor would
sureiy be less tran the pouring of new cement sidewalks.
Throu�h t�-e years we have been aware many times of the disadvantages
of living on a corner, a fact you may agree to fr�m your own experience; annual ass�ss-
ments for street �prinkling on the paved street, oiling on the black-topped street; and
tree trimming eve:y fea ys2rs on both streets even though there are no trees on a portion
of the property.
�uring the years that Ns. Engel was a wage-earner we accepted our ob-
ligations and took C�re o_° them. IJow at age 72 he views with alarm an assessment of
ap�roxirrw tely �8GC �hen we deeT it unnecess�ry. The majorit,y of our neighbors have
lived in their ho:nes =bout t!;e same number of years that we have� an3 like ourselves,
live on retirement ir.ccmes.
:ti'e take this opportunity as two concerne� citizens to make our sta.tus
known to you and your f ellow council members before the public hearing on June 7 in the
hope that such knowledge may convince you that Prelimi.nary Order �257976 should be
nulli.fied in the interests of the affected tax-payers.
?roe will surely apFreciate your per.sonal efforts in our behalf.
Very truly yours,
Albert W, and II.izabeth D. �gel
