communication be ordered referred to
to the Town Engineer.
The following communication was
presented and read
ITO the Mayor and Common Council
of the town of Flagstaff, Flagstaff
Arizona.
Dear Sirs:
| desire to call to your attention to,
and make complaint against those
certain sidewalks on the west and
north sides of my property, which
properly is at the northeast corner of
the intersection of Aspen avenue and
Park street.
This sidewalk has been recently laid
according to your survey, but is, on
account of its height above the level
of the street, not only a great incon-
venience to the general public, but
detriment to my property. At the in
tersection of my sidewalk running
north and south, the sidewalk is at
least two feet above the level of the
streets and is several feet higher than
the sidewalk of the property belong
ing to Mr.. J. E. Jones, which is direct
ly west of my property. In building
my said sidewalks the contractor ad-
vised me that they were compelled to
put the sidewalks in at grade they are
now.
! am advised that street crossing
will be put in between Mr.. Jones pro-
perty and mine and that, in order to
have this crossing on level with the
street it crosses-which is Park street
where such crossing abut my east
and west sidewalk, either a series of
steps will have to be built, or it will
be necessary to step down from my
sidewalk to the crossing distance of
several feet, in order to enable pede-
strains to go upon said crossings
from my said sidewalk. This same
condition exists should a crossing be
built across Aspen avenue from said
corner to the opposite corner on the
north side of Aspen avenue.
Should such crossings be construct
ed, or should the condition as now
exists be allowed to continue, | am
fearful for the safety and life Of any
people who cross either street at that
corner, particularly in the winter time
when such steps will be covered with
ice and snow, and will, very likely, be
hidden from view.
desire, at this time, to and hereby
give notice that, in the event of acci-
dent, injury or damage caused by
conditions about which | am herein
complaining, will in no way be liable
to any person, persons, corporation or
corporations for any loss, injury or
damage by them sustained.
Will you kindly give this complaint
your immediate attention, make full
examination and investigation of the
matters complained of, and take such
steps as are necessary, without cost
or expense to me, to remedy this de-
feet, advising me as to what your ac-
tion is herein.
Yours very respectfully,
| (Signed)
