Attention Mr.. Ford Wagsr.
City Clerk
Dear Sir:
We are returning herewith eerti-
fled copy of resolution adopted by
the City Council under date Of &c.
tober II, 1914, for the reason that
said resolution fails 10 state the
specific use for which the property
is requested.
We have noted our records so
that same will not be sold pending
the receipt of resolution contain
ing this information.
Yours very truly,
r. G. Wood
Regional Supervisor
State Land Office Board
Referred to Council.
To the Honorable
The Mayor and City Council
Of the City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
Due to last weeks shower OF dist
and dirt precipitating on certain
sections Of the City, this in turn
causing numerous justified calls OF
complaints and comments about
same, We feel it fitting and proper
at this time to report the follow
ing facts, as an explanation as TO
its cause and our progress upon its
elimination.
Wind direction being In the prop
er direction and atmospheric con-
ditions being ideal for quick rrecip-
itation caused this to fall within the
downtown and residence area sd-
Joining so that it may be termed
the heaviest fall We have had so
far.
In addition we have had no an
preciable rainfall TO wash the air
since September 18th, and taking
into consideration the amount OF
dirt congregating since that time
along with the burning of leaves,
and the accumulated dust thereon
Icing disturbed. and our heavy con-
centration of flu dust from hea-y
industries in the south end OF town.
this made conditions ideal for the
heavy shower Of dust and dirt.
There is no doubt but what in
dustry is the the greatest violator OF
this nuisance, however, nature didn
help US any during the four hectic
days Of the dirt storm, until Fri
day night. when we had a shower
of rain and q change in direction
Of wind.
AS to abatement of this nuisance.
We have been in contact with the
largest violators numerous times ard
they are conscious of the nuisance
they are creating and since some Of
the mechanical equipment has been
made available by W.P.B. we know
that they have negotiated with var
iouS concerns In regards to the cost
and feasibility OF installation. /.
fact, last Wednesday tests were ia
ken by representative of a collec-
tor company to determine te
amount Of dust within the lue
gases. This may be a step further
towards reality because each unit
should be designed for its individual
installation.
Other obstacles stand in our vsv:
as to the time of allowing installa-
ton and whether production Of war
needed products can be curtailed
long enough for installation is the
question for the WP.B. or other
authorities in war production To
grant permission for same.
In conclusion, to say that the oirt
falling within the City Is discour
aging to the residents, who are con-
tinually cleaning, Is merely stating
1t in a mild manner. We too regret
that it is happening and are disap-
pointed in our progress, but with
all the obstacles confronting us as
to shortage of materials and time.
we Will just have to plod along and
hope for better results soon.
In fact, If offenders would only
keep their dust and dirt on their
own premises, this surely would re-
duce or eliminate the complaints
and create a cleaner and more
neighborly area In which to live.
This is the program or intentions
OF the Smoke Abatement Commit
tee, and We hope to overcome above
mentioned. difficulties In the not
too distant future.
Respectfully,
Louis Brohl, o..
