The lots along Marquette have a san.ittry sewer in the rear which takes cure of house drainage.' But =no providision had been made un-.Gil the construction of this Wakewa sewer to care for the street drainage which is gust as necessary as the house drainage. It seems therefore -just and equitable that you revise the assessment roll to the extent "of placing against property on. Marquette Ave. its proper quota of the crest. And I suggest that this should include the extnsion of the 10" sewer, 1451 at $5.75 or $833.75, also ip)prox. 147 ft. 8" drain at $1.00 or 0147.00, 1 manhole at at $135.00 one cover at $25,000 and 4 inlets at $SO.00 pr a total of $1200.759 this amount of course is in the rough and your Engineering Department can easily determine the exact and correct distribution. You will recognize that the cost of this pipe sewer is, at best extraordinary even in this day of high prices, but I am not commenting on this*especial ly as you have no doubt awarded the contract to the lowest and best bidder, but upon further consideration I believe you will agree with me that the 'rough facts are as I have given them and that a reduction should be made in the assessment of the lots on the north side of Wakewa Avenue an the cost of street or roadway drainage be nade against the lots on Marquette Ave ° As I estimate the amount there should be a reduction of something over- $240.00 on my three lots, 173--187.188 and I wish to enter my protest against the assessment roll in its present form and request that you have the change made before pass ing on the f inal • hear ing.
