tisenlent a site 13Oxl35 feet, with frontage

of the Federal Building at Virginia, Min
nesota. authorized by the act of Congress
approved May 80, 1aOs. The greatest depths
of the lots on the sites under consideration
is 10 feet. and it would therefore not be
possible to secure site of the above di-
mansions without the inclusion of the al
leys in the rear of said lots. Will you kind
~ advise me if the city would be disposed
to condemn and convey to the Government
of the United States the alley AUDITING
such site as may be selected in case it
should be found inadvisable to change the
dimensions of the proposed site:
Will you also advise me if the down pipes
from the roof, cutters ETC.. of the Federal
Building. may be emptied into the sani-
tary sewer. or whether the United States
is expected to comply with the city ordin-
ance and provide separate sewers for such
drainage:
AS there are no streets paved contiguous
to any of the proposed sites. will you also
inform me if the city will construct con-
crete or other suitable hard roadways. and
cement or other suitable sidewalks, to con-
meet such site as may be selected with the
principal thorou9hfares.
Iwouid APPRECIATE being advised if the
city will undertake to secure a waiver of
the mineral reservation on the Federal
Building site. ~
The foregoing is subunitted for such Goa
