Re: stor.m Sewers at the Oorner of East Shore Drive & Marianne & Poinsettia & Marianne. Clearwater Beaoh. ~~o~lda. Gentlemen: I wish to petition you ~or the relie~ ~rom water oonditions at the oorner ot these two streetu. At my request to City Manager Bennett tlw engIneering depart- ment has cooperated in making a survey to dete~ine the badly needed drainage in- stallation. Arter oonferring with them it appears that all the water from the 8ur~ounding area of two blocks aocumulates at this spot and the only solution is the above referred to installation. Mr. Lee, the City Engineer, has made a thorough study of this and hIs es- tImate states the nead ot two catch basins and 21 inch pipe for the drains and a tide gate at the sea wall. Please give this your oonsideration and in view of the tact that I am endeavoring to complete paving in this area at my expense for the opening of my new 32 unit Sandpiper Apartment scheduled for opening Deoember 20th, it 1s imperatIve that I get aotion 8S soon as possible. Due to the fact that this drainage problem results from flow from city owned property to the south and trom adjacent property extending to l~ndalay Dr1ve west and Palm St. to the north it should be installed and costs absorbed by the city, 8~i1ar to the recent same condition being corrected at Myrtle and Court Sts. at thct request the Mr. Herbert Blanton.

Dear Mr. Bennett: I was informed on yesterday by long distance telephone from Norfolk that the City Council o~ the Oi ty of Clearwa ter had under consideration a proposal to have . orossing over the Seaboard tracks at Missouri Avenue in North Clearwater and I was asked to get together with Mr. C. H. Lineberger, the division Superintendant ot the Seaboard, and go over with him and make a study of the situation at this oroBsing and to take the matter up with you and the Oity Council. The Seaboard is desIrous of cooperating 1n ever.1 way possible with you and the City of Clearwater and. of course, to p~ovide convenient crossings for the public wherever such crossings are necessary. You understand, of course, that every orossing, especially in a thickly populated oommunity, oreates an addItlona~ traffio hazard. This is especIallY' true where there is more than one track. More- over, considerable expense is always involved in opening a new crossing and in maintaining it thereafter and providing proper signals therefor if such s1gnala are indicated. I would have been over today to see you, bec~use I understood fram Norfolk that some discussion of the natter was contemplated for Monday night, but my oommitments were suoh that I could not leave tne office. Next week I have three cases In the Federal Court ani some two or three other matters in the Circuit Oourt rendering it PhY'sically tmposslble tor the proper consideratio~ to be given to this matter by me for the Seaboard &s requested by them. It would be greatly appreciated if the oonsideration o~ this ~tter could be postponed until after the first of the year. This will give me time during the month ot December to study the situation, report to my people, get their vIews and to consider the matter with y~. Would you be kind enough to do this for me under the circumstances? Mr. B. B. Casler, who has been and is now a member of your governing body, bas baen tor many years and is now our Local Counsel but in matters affecting the City. he has oonsistently asked to be exoused and, therefor, the matter has fallen to ~ lot to handle. ~nking you, I am MlftI:11V S1noerely yours, Signeds Morris ~.
