`SUBJECT
Gentlemen:
June 26, 1957
Hearing scheduled for July 3 to
'raise sewer assessments for
Morgan Avenue sewer - grading
project approved by City
Council •1958
We, -the undersigned, do hereby register our concern over the
necessity of raising sewer assessments against residents who
supported the Morgan Avenue sewer- grading order in good faith.
We fully realize that rocky strata may seem a formidable problem
to any sewer contractor; however if such conditions exit, they
are any act of God, and should not be used against homevwners
who are striving to improve an area at a cost ($C6.00 per front
font) already excessive to their means.
Would It not behoove the city to contribute funds to this project,
thus adding considerably to the tax values of a number of lots?
Also, with the freeway, a multimillion dollar project, being built
not far from the proposed project, would it not be incoZgrujous
that such a progressive city as St. Paul should be harboring areas
without even good sanitary drainage? ,
Please lend your kindest consideration to our proposal.
