Honorable Mayor and Council.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
In regard to the lot on the COR
ner Of Fourth and Bondie, the
party of Bertha Gorski does not
wish 10 buy the lot, as 1t would be
an additional expense which she
could not afford and it is not prof.
liable to her.
So If they would agree to keep
the voting booth off and also plant
some grass and trees which was
promised to her when they paved
the corner and took away her cor
ner, she would be satisfied. AL she
asks for is to keep the dust away
from her home and so that her
place doesn't lose its value as It
has In the past.
Thank you.

Dear Sir:
On June Is, 1914 we wrote a let
ter and called to your attention
a gas situation coming from the
Halowax Corporation Of Wyandotte.
Michigan. They have been allowing
gas to escape In the air and 1t Is
getting constantly worse. 1t is af-
fecting the employees of the Chlor-
inc and other departments of the
Wyandotte Chemicals Corporation
so bad that men in the Chlorine
Department are threatening to quit
en- maSse.
Briefly there has been call after
call to the Halowax people and
positively no results. On two occa-
siuus employees were compelled to
wear masks for hours at time.
We have tried every courtesy
known possible to combat this Sit
uation but with negative results.
We therefore are appealing to your
department for a quick solution to
this problem.
Sincerely yours,
Edgar Lawrence,
President UM.WA
