"Mayor and Common Council

CityClerk,

City "
Gentlemen:
We wish to call your attention to a certain area which we own
and is located in the Mill Reserve'Northern Addition of the
City of Rochester. This area lies between 3rd Ave. N.W. and
the Cascade Creek, west and south of where the creek joins the
Zumbro River.
Recently various changes Jxa.ve been made in the channel of
Cascade Creek due to the installation of the new City Sewer,
line crossing this creek and also the dredging of the creek
above this area. The result is that there has been a needless
dumping of water on our property without any provision for our
protection. We have already suffered losses to our property
there and feel that if present conditions prevail, these
losses -will become more extensive.
We are therefore placing this notice on file with you now
before too much damage has been done so that if events prove
our contention true, you will have been property notified.
Sincerely yours,
Robert J. Thompson
