A letter was presented to the Board from Harry Gannett of the Star
Piano Company , stating the drain from the South End of the C & (8 track
to the river has been filed up by the dump so that this water is now
running down into the drain close to the factory building at the South
end of the concrete building and some times runs in the building.
The dump at the North End' is as wide as we care to have it.
The roadway from South 5th Street to our plant is very narrow and.
insecure at the South End of the same and we would suggest that the
sewer coming in from South 5th Street be covered over so that the dump
could be made from South 5th. Street over this sewer so a-s to make the
roadway wider and more secure.
