PAUL INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION w July 23, 1957 Frank D. Marzitelli, COMMISSIONER Dept. of Public Works Dear Sir: Last Friday night, July 19, 1957, approximately 2.6 inches of rain fell throughtotittttecity within a short period. This was the last of a series of heavy rains which have been occurring at frequent intervals throught the latter part of June and the early part of July, the cumulative effect of which caused an extensive amount of damage to the city streets, sidewalks, curbing, and sewers; and also deposited a large amount of debris in our city streets and sewers. These earlier storms caused a weakening in the surfaces of the streets and sewers and the latter severe storm brought out the damage at these weakened points. We shall not be able to correct these damages and clean up the debris with the funds normally appropriated for street repair and cleaning purposes for the year. The various divisions of this bureau have made up estimates based on the amount of damage which we have been able to observe, up to this time, and based upon past experience with storms of this type. That estimate is attached hereto and includes a list of the various types of damage and the locations at which they occurred. It should be noted that this list is not complete, as there are many types of damage which cannot be discovered until some time has elapsed after the occurrance of a storm. It should be noted that the total amount of this estimate is closely related to the amounts authorized by the City Council for previous estimates for damages caused by similar conditions.
