Mr. Coombs , Mr. Xavier and Mr. Merrill representing the
Mishawaum Association appeared relative to rounding corner of West St. and
' Summer Ave. Mr. Birnie is to get a blueprint and give to Mr. Coombs.
They think that by moving line out about 15 feet, Mrs. Wiberg would give
land provided drainage is properly cared for. Mr. Xavier thinks staking
would help. Mr. Merrill says that Tarvlating Forest St. has stopped
the natural drainage of surface water and a pond results thru which the
women and children have to walk, and asks gravel to fill this place.
III' They have excavated several very large rocks and asks to hire compressor
at some convenient time when in that vicinity, say on Colburn Rd. so
that the rocks might be blasted.
Board adjourned at 8:00 P. M.
