<br />At your ?ast meeting g complaint wL ;s ifiaide by Mr. Zmudzinski to the effect that the G+
<br />ce Zt Streets in
<br />+ 'd
<br />,le nemr. . Adalbe--t s School ht. sumk ewer_ ty � a
<br />fear inches and th_t g =s was eficrTpirag -..n the
<br />buil,,ing to the extent ghat it traG
<br />necessary to d.isWjisc schOOl.
<br />I immediately ordered the Street COmmi-ssioner to make an invest ip; t ion and insist that the
<br />compant; •engineers
<br />eccor ^p: closed zou wil.I find a c- 1r of his report. if ±�_ has
<br />env him. Enclosed „' ^p - eceivi ig
<br />this report I wrote to Father
<br />Jarkr, a copy of vrhich letter is also enclosed.
<br />ATCt hairir..g recive a re Ply from
<br />y Father Jarka the Chief of Police and myself celled or. him Satur-
<br />day Fftermoom,'. The
<br />irfcrma4-i^ re received from him indicated that the ibeople in tret sedtion
<br />are quite alarmed on account
<br />of $ gas main having broken some tirne ago and csueed f death,
<br />Of Several Oo le bsr � � the ne r
<br />p� p �'as e�.,�p4ng into 't.�eir home.. -
<br />`
<br />Father Jer' ^ Qtates that he has smelt gas from the floor drain in-the-basement of the school
<br />This is
<br />probaply due to the odor of the sever gas, which will always result when the trap in
<br />the drain has lost its seal Where
<br />. floor drains are connected to sewer, it cho,zld a1 �pt,�s b- e t
<br />practice to pour water into the drain once a day in-order to keep the This
<br />proper aenT. wi?1
<br />eliminate any sewer gas from escr-ring into the basemert, `
<br />The report thpt the street has sunk twenty four inches; is greatly exaggerated, and should be
<br />discredited.
<br />As these comp?_pints urerc made to =our honorable ��_�.xable body, trd have, no doubt, caufied you soite con_
<br />�
<br />corn, this cOmmunicrti.on Is sent to you for your information to be placed in the City records.
