July 14, 1950 City of Ithaca Board of Public 'Jorks City Hall Ithaca, idew York Gentlemen: son and I have discussed the housing develop- ment program as set forth by '.j.R. Lamphear and his associates at last jednesday's meeting of the Board of :Public 'Jorks, and have tat ed -lith neighborinE property owners and other inter- ested parties. I feel that the development as proposed may not be to the best interests of either city or town residents; nor does it seem to be the best move for the City of Ithaca at this time. Therefore I am not interested in having my r>roperty included in the City of Ithaca with the lands of Lamnhea.r and Tyler as these owners are requesting. Should some more favor- able type of development become desirable in the future on the Lamnhear property I might be Trilling to allow certain pipe lines to cross my property for purposes of serving such a development.

Pyewas presented and read: "August 14, 1950 "City Clerk of City of Ithaca City 'Hall Ithaca, New York Dear Mr. Spr.. we7.t "In the early thirties a sewer dine was laid along Pearsall Place. "A house located at 134 Pearsall Place on the north side of the street was below the sewer line and hence was never connected. At that time a "sewer assessment" of ; 30.00 was made against this property. "Recently, the Cornell University sewer was laid in this section and it came to the back yard of 134 Pearsall Place and this house connected to this sewer and in all probability will never connect to the Pearsall Place sewer. "However, your books still carry a "sewer assessment" against this property. For ordinary purposes it makes little difference but i now wish to obtain title insurance on the property -without any exceptions. The title company will not issue such a policy because your certificate states that there is a "sewer assessment" of X30.00. Actually this is not an assessment in the legal sense although it is called an assessment by local ordinance. " Iould you kindly refer this matter to the Board of Public Works with a request that this "sewer assessment" of u30.00 against property at 134 Pearsal: Place, Ithaca, New York, be expunged from the record of sewer assessments with proper provision, however, that if this house ever connects to the Pearsall Place sewer that a charge of x;30.00 will be made."
