Epp read the attached letter which was sent to the Town Board . • At a Planning Board Meeting held February 14 , 1968 , it was unanimously agreed to send the following letter to Jim Cortright , Dr . Broad , and Harry Hatfield : Dear Several months ago the Tompkins County Health Department stated the back half of the Town Hall property was contaminated by surface sewage from the property next door . Since that time , the situation hasn ' t improved . ' .,J6.1It would seem that these buildings are physically unsafe as well as a public health hazard . Our recommendation is that the Town Board , the Building Commissioner and the County Health Department investigate the properties and submit a written reply to the Planning Board as soon as possible . We , as a group , are not only concerned about the health hazards involved , but also with the appearance of the center of what could well be a very attractive hamlet . S incerely , . DAN BY .
