February 16, 1951 3, -)ard of Public "Forks ty Hall I -,haca, 11ew York Gentlemen: Cn June 4, 1948, I T-rrote a letter to Superintendent Laverty calling r.is attention to the condition of lower Fall Creep. The facts 'Trere that the state dredge T,ras dredging the inlet and mating a fill on lo,-Ter `.J'illow Avenue to ma':e a Catholic `south Playground, and the run -of was made to run at Fall 'Creek at the railroad bridge. This run -of of s,rater was filled 7rith mud, T,rhich could be seen in tho prank very plainly after the dredge got through. Pls.) Cornell University tares the gate out of Beebe La-Ire and 11'a3hes the mud with a. fire hose, ,-Thi6h 'results in more mud in l.c e;� Fall Creek. This has been done t- Tice since I -T-rrote to Laverty. -nd `_he creel, has not been dredged yet. s you probably Rlnol-r, Fall Creel- is in a very dangerous condition at this time. This, I thin., ir2 ..s brought about by the poor judg- i. pni, cf Superintendent Laverty T,Then in January, 1951, he had a Luild_ozer in the creel: piling up large amounts of gravel for a o -edge- line to pull out of the creek. This large pile of gravel n?.rrwred the channel of the creel: before the dredge -line could get it out. Conditions changed for the TTorst - we had. zero Treather. The creels 4.'rozp, and the slush ice began to run. 'Tith the creel- half full of gravel and the channel na.rroT•red, it soon bloc! -ed the Thole nreei-. I should think that it 'T•ra.s a very poor time of the year to start taking gravel out, especially this -Tinter 'rrhen there has been M February 28, 1951 BOARD OF PUBLIC ?IORY.S PROCEEDIITGS Page 2 so much cold weather. I understand the reason for the removal of the gravel -T,ras that the Sharrrell Gardens housing project on Meadow Street -ranted some fill for roads. I don't think that a dredge --line and bulldozer are the right equipment for that purpose because they are only capable of removing; the center of the bar. Hoping that there may be some action in alleviating the bar this summer, I remain, Yours, /s/ Archie 'lilson A. 'Tilson EX. Laverty stated that he feels his handling of conditions in Fall Creek need no defense, but explained that during 1949, 2;00 C.Y. of gravel Was removed and that before additional gravel eras removed after the lake level permitted in January 1951, the grading at Shar,-Till Gardens had been completed.
