B. Lee in connection with the proposed Elmira Road Water District was presented, It April 260 1948 Board of Public Works pity of Ithaca pity Hall Ithaca, &ew York Attention; Water and Sewer Committee, Re: Elmira Road Water District. Gentlemen: Upon inquiry and after careful investigation it appears almost impossible for an individual to obtain cast iron pipe and this a ,)plies to the average contractor. The suppliers seem to have pledged their future supply for :several raonths to municipalities# public projects or largo scale enterprizes. While it might be possible, and undoubtedly would bc, to obtain such pipe on the so- called black market., the prig, would be prohibititve. The developmE:nt contemplated on the Elmira Road is a modest one. Via would need approximately 2,000 feet of 8 -inch or possibly 6 -inch pipe (including the estimated distance to be laid within the City limits). The cost of laying the pipe and the cost of the pipe itself will be defrayed by the Water District (except for the possible, adjustment for the part within the City). In the circumstances, would th -City of Ithaca be in a position to supply pipe and lay it at the expense of the District? We c M contract for the digging and backfilling of the ditch if you wish& vitae would also require, indidentally, two or thr:;e hydrants and wonder if these could also be supplied from your stock on the same arrangement? I sincerely hope that you will find yourselves in a position to accommodate this group of individ'dals who are extremely anxious to obtain the water and whose project may have to be postponed for another year unless a satisfactory arrangement can be worked out. Very truly yours, F. Boardman Lee dbl/m cc to Mr. F,. J. Lavery m ComIli$slonjr Aull stat <.�d that water pipe is available and he expressed the opinion that the City should not furnish pipe from its sup ?ly'v and it was moved, By COmr; issioner Hull; Sec. by Comm. Bradford Rcsolviud., that Mr. Lue be advised that cast iron water pipe is available on the market and that the City declines the request to furnish pipe and hydrants from it�. aUH91My nan o fly Carried.

Reed Colbert in regard to a water sul.ply for tlze Shopping Plaza in the Elmira Road district was presented. December 6, 1948 Hoard of Public Works City Mall Ithaca, New York Gentle :ten; Your decision of November 18, 1948 denying assurance that water will be supplied to t'ae- Eliziira Road District when formed, laavas ma witli thy: f ollowing alternatives in the completion of the Ithac -i Shopping Plaza. 1) Lo drill a w,.;ll on my own property and install a filtration and pur:tfication system. us3 an existing well in ti, locality and pipe it to ny prer::lses and inst 111 a filtration and puri- fication system. 3) Effect logislation to the end that my property be inclu6.6d in the municipali cy of Ithaca. Eacn of these altern,1t .vas has it s mutual advantages and disadvantages but I frankly favor the latter proposition if it can be completed in an expeditious manner. It is obvious that this project is primarily an "Ithaca Project" which will be supported primarily by the people of the city and was designed to benefit primarily the; people of the city. The project was established at its prosent location only because it was the best site obtainable from a merchandising standpoint, affording complete parking and uncon gested traffic. The project should be a part of the municipality despite the arbitrary south line: of the City of Ithaca. My problem, however, is to know definitely today which source of water supply will be available an April 1, 1949 or in other words, which of the abov =e alternatives to choose today* If I petitioned tho Common Council of the City of Ithaca to be adidittad and such petition met with their approval (as they indicated in their last meeting) the only further step would be for the City Attorney to draft an Act of Ldgislation to be introduced in January in tho r.ssembly by Mr. Ray Ashbery and in the Senate by Mr. Chauncey Tiammand. If the Het wor© passad there would be nothing further to be done except for the Common irouncil to accept the jet of the Legislature. No alacGion will be necessary as there are no residents on my propertyr This could be done by April 1, 1949. Ineidently, there is no bonded indf.;btcdnass of the Town of Ithaca nor will there be any political probl.:m as to the formation of a new ward or voting district which will definitely simplify the procedure. The Town of Ithaca has indicated they will not oppose an annexation to the city. However, wE are all awa -.Po of the possibility of legal delays in the perfection of detail and legislative red tape. You can see that I cannot take the chance of these unforeseen delays. I cannot afford not to havo a water supply on April Z� 1349. It does seem to me that we could attain mutual benefits to each oth<:r in 3 concise agreement expressing good faith on both sides. � -w 4 Board of Public '4orks -3- December V, 1948 1 8 1 IViy su ,,r-estion is as follows; If I petition the Common Council of tlLo City of Ithaca to 'nave my property in the Town of Ithaca included in tho municipal limits, will the City of Ithaca agree that I will hake a source of water supply from the City of Ithaca, on April 1, 1949 in either of thy: following ways: 1) If the Act of Legislature has been perfected, as a City use, or 2) If the Act of Legislature has not been perfected, as a user in the Elmira Road Vlatc:r District. In the latter event my use would be only understoocl to be te.aporary and if for any reason some pressure group pre- vented uhe Act from passing I could then be given a rea- sonable opportunity to make: my own water supply under my first or s3ccnd alt rnatives. I would ;appreciate an imti:ac�diate d,�finitc, answer to my su,gestion,, Yours very truly, Is/ J.
