Hon. Members of the City Council
City of Saint Paul �
Gentlemen:
During the month of September, 1967, one of your sewer cleaning
crews was cleaning the�public sewer in f`ront of my hom.e at 1597 Old.
Hudson Road. During the course of their cleaning operations, they
forced some sewage and wa,ter to back up into my basement. I immedi-
, ately pointed this out to a Mr. Blewett Vrho tiaas in charge of this crew
and he vex�r obligingly had his people help me clean up the basement.
� The Ci�y of Sai.n-t Paul SeVrer Maintenance crew was very helpful in
cleani.ng up my basemen� but there was some';damage done to my basement
to the extent of about �L1.�.0. T asked Mr. Bl�t�ett t�hat should be done
about �his and a]legedly he said that he would take care of it. I
assumed that this me�nt that he would turn this in to the Corporation
Counsel�s Office and that i,t would not be necessary for me to file any
further claim.
. However, when I d.id not hear from the City on this matter� I dis- �
cussed this i�i.th Mr. Richard Hunt, the Supervisor of Sewer MaintPnance,
and he told me that it was necessary to f`.i.le a claim with the �:�y
Corporation Counsel1s Office within a period of thirty (30) days after
this happened. Since I assumed that Mr. Blewett was to take care of
this� I did not file the claam and thus apparently I cannot collect on
this.
Zf T would have lrnown I would have filed the claim within the
thirty (30) day period; however� in the light of the fact that there
was a misunderstanding between myself and the Sewer Crew Leader� I am
respectful.ly requesting the City of Saint Pau1. to still honor my claim.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation in this matter.
Yours very truly�
