m Acreage sold to L' at Front lay? tags Fcgcs - December 39, 1944* W 1-1-S-B Mr. Frank Strong? In Brasher 1943, we sold 4 aores just north 'of the (Mart A veins* Underpass to the &e«t Frontier Hotel, under ¥0^4?S, and this aoreage was more recently re-sold to C. A, Buffey who proposes to build a ware--- house t,hereon. Htiffsy h'is aad4 application for water service on this acreage, and question arias® a® to the best mof’-'-d of furnishing it. ' • • For your re &y reference^ I attach a sketch showing -the closest water mains ?© this location. It is ?apparent thr.t th« ap-re^oh may fee made fr©8§ one. of three sources, na ’follows? 1. .Fro® the 13-inch ran in running in alley back of BiItmore, thenos aoroas Horth Main Strest# f© offered to make Hufl’ey a connection fro* this wain, I a one inch aarvios line to be extended through a culvert under Berth M«i» Street near the north line of hie.prop­erty, However, the State Highway Department objacted t© this. It is impracticable to excavate' aarotea this - highway. 3* From the 4-inch main at the intersection of Morgan Avenue end Bailroad Avenue, west of the tracks. On -©rthie method, we would mice a connection at the main on Railroad Avenue and carry the service Pipe 50 feet, from which point if would be necessary to arrange with railroad officers for*permisalon to Jack the pi re under ? the tracka, ©f which there are three in this vicinity. The objaction to this method is that it would create a ' situation where industries south of the Underpass w o ld be receiving water from the railroad line m a meter basis, and north of the Underpass on a flat-rate basis.
