St. Paul, Minnesota, 55102.
Dear Commissioner Tedesco:
On August 23, 1966, a public hearing will be held for the purpose
of determining the advisability of constructing a public sewer to
drain the low back lots in the eastern portion of Block 4, Robert
L. Wares Eastern Heights. Since I will be unable to attend this
meeting, I would like to make my thoughts known at this time.
I have owned property in the area affected by the proposal for
more than eleven years, and have been in a position to observe
the ever- increasing need for such an improvement over that period
of time.
Surface water from an area of approximately eight acres drains
into the low back lots, and has on occasions covered an area of
two acres or more and affected the properties of at least ten resi-
dents. The water reaches depths that could prove extremely dan-
gerous to small children. There is no natural outlet for the
water so it remains in the area until it evaporates, soaks into
the soil, or is pumped out. Frequently the water becomes stag-
nant, offers a perfect breeding place for mosquitos, and poses a
potential health hazard for the residents of the neighborhood.
This is a neighborhood problem contributed to by some twenty prop-
erties which all drain into a common low area. No one resident
can solve the problem alone. The solution lies in the construc-
tion of a public sewer which will cross five separate properties
and run from the low point to an existing five -foot sewer.
I respectfully solicit your support in approving a neighborhood
improvement project which will not only remove a serious health
and safety problem, but will make possible a more attractive en-
vironment for a substantial number of citizens.
Sincerely,
Bernard L. Edmonds

Dear Mayor Byrne:
Re: File #17o65
Preliminary Order No. 228116
I am writing this letter in regards to the above mentioned,projedt
which is coming before the City Council Tuesday, August 23, 1966.
Briefly, the City of St. Paul has proposed -to construct a storm
sewer across the'rear of my property at 1974 E. Margaret Street
to relieve a serious water problem that occurs evdi7'spring and
during any heavy rain. This storm sewer would also ` serve many
of my neighbors who are faced with the same problem.
In-as much as I will be unable to attend the Council meeting August
232 1966 I wish to -take this - opportunity to express my interest and
concern in this project aind'to state my affirmative position with
regards to its installation.
if I can supply any further information please call me at 771 8833•
Thank you very much for your consideration in this matter.
Very truly yours,
