Owosso, Mich, June 27, 1899.
Hon. A. M. Hume, City,
Dear Sir-In October, 1885, mailed Mayor
Kerwin petition and a letter like the enclosed
copy, for sewer from Main street up Elm to the
end of Elm street SOUTH or to the south side of
Factory b. This petition represents 100 feet of
frontage aside from the streets, all the ground
from Main street except four benefits or four
date the Casket factory and Factory of the Es
tey Mfg, Co. Would probably accommodate 500
people. There Is no place In this city where a
sewer could be built for that length that would
accommodate one quarter the amount of people
that this sewer will, and 1t is case of absolute
necessity for the health and protection of our
men. While 1t is very large expense TO us we
are very glad to bear our share of the burden for
the benefit of our employees.
We have never heard word from the petition
or any communication from the past mayor in
reference to same, but we hope it will be the
pleasure of YOU, honor and gentlemen of the
council to take this matter up and put this sewer
In for us Immediately.
Respectfully, EStey Mfg Co
Dictated-D. M. Estey.
