Dear Carol,
Enclosed is the claim paper that you sent to be filled out. Sorry it took so long
but I had a hard time getting a contractor that wasn't busy.
This would include moving the wall where the alley and Foye Street intersect so
that it is rounded off which will give more room for the garbage trucks to make the
comer between the two alleys. I will work it out with Don Vogt to ma~ke sure that
it is sufficient.
If you would like any other information, please contact me.' Thanks.
Sincerely,
Roger F. Hanselmann
