Jersey City, Aug. 81, 1897.
TIC the Honorable Board of Street and
Water Commissioners
Gentlemen-I wish to call your atten-
ton to a nuisance existing on property
bounded by Randolph avenue, Newark &
New York Railroad, Carteret and Gar
field avenues; said property is becoming
entirely covered with stagnant water,
caused by sewer in Randolph avenue
emptying on said property. The owners
of said property are willing to fill in the
lake, providing your Board will stop
emptying the sewerage or drainage from
Randolph avenue on the same.
This matter should receive your imme-
date attention.
Respectfully yours,
