Reference: 13th Street Sewer Outfall. Gentlemen: I am submitting to you here with a plan for the extension of the 1211 Sewer on 13th Street from the bulkhead on Avenue Q to low water, a distance of approximately 258 feet. This is the sewer outfall which the state Department of Health wroto pbout-':8ome-.tome ago. The plan calls for pile bents 12 feet center to center to be driven along the center line of 13th Street, with a boom stick float along each side to protect the pipe and keep floating drift from lodging across the pipe at low tide. The estimated cost of the work including piling, pile -driving, lumber boom sticks and pipe in place is 31500.000 This work should be done during the low tides of May or June. As there was no provision made for this work in the 1944 budget, the work will have to be financed by an immergency ordinance the money coming from one of the State Aid Funds. . Yours very truly, TGIL. lm T. G. LicCrory City Engineer. After some discussion a motion was made by Brady, seconded by Schulz that the city council approve of the plan as submitted ny the City Engineer and that the City Attorney be instructed to draw up an emergency ordinance to provide funds , for the, construction of said 13th Street sewer outfall between Q avenue and low water..

We received a number of replies but have not heard from some of you; however, we are taking a chance and asking for a truck for you anyway. You do not have to carry this any further unless you wish to purchase a truck. As .previouwISr atatod, we feel that the price is going to be very low -- only a fraction of what the truck is actually worth. If you have not already made your application to the Treasury Procurement Department, please do so without delay as we are furnishing them the estimate of trucks wanted today. Your application should go in Address: The Treasury Procurement District Office 2005 Fif tt. Avenue, Seattle, 1, Washington. Attention: Sales Division. Advise that you wish this truck for the mounting of either federal fire-fightinJ5 equipment or ambulance bodies, whichever the case may be. Trucks for other purposes are not available under this plan. We Vii11 keep in touch with the situation and do everything Ore possibly can to bring this matter to a successful conclusion. It would be very desirable if you would advise us if you have made application, then we will know just to what end we are working, otherfrise we would hot have the information concerning your location. For your further information, when trucks are available if you do not thick the price is right, there is no obligation for you to -buy. Title will pass to the community purchasing the truck. tZ Mr. L.
