Gentlemen: -
Your petitioner, the undersigned, begs leave to
respectfully submit the following,towit: That heretofore your
Honorable Body granted him permit to extend his six inch supply
pipe to the Sprinkling Equipment that he is installing in what is
known as the Heisig & Norvell building, to a connection with the
eight inch main on the Test side of Pearl St. ,necessitating the
crossing of Pearl St. ,and which pipe your petitioner had laid
i
i across said Pearl St. ,and ready for connection with said main; but
subsequent to the laying of said pipe your Honorable Body,in an
ordinance pas.s.ed at your last meeting,directing the Water Co. to
make said connection, included a clause providing that all such
connections should be made at 100 feet away from the building con
taining said sprinkling equipment,which provision your petitioner
I humbly begs to represent,not only adds an additional expens,e,but
also defeats the object of its purpose, to -wit: in that it puts
i.
the connection nearer to the unprotected risks,thereby making it
much more uncertain to be able to get to such connection in case of
a general conflagration. Your petitioner therefore humbly requests
of your Honorable Body that he be permitted to make the connection as
originally contearplated,and he asks that this permit be done by a
h
resolution at tads meeting,as he is ready to install the water
service in the building above referred to as soon as this connection
can be made,and desires to make this connection immediately.
Respectfully submitted,
To the Hon. City Council,

Gentlemen:
It has been brought to the writer's attention that an
ordinance has been passed, requirij:g all '-property ornery to have
valves_in the water pipe connected at least 100 feet away from
buildings. -- Now it has been the rule.heretorore to have these
valves placed in the curb stone on the sidewalk, which plan was
followe_d__out im.- the construction of the-vrriter's buildings, on
Pearl and Forsythe atreets,.the valves being connected v:pith the
Water main, in a concrete box, with a lid, and easily accessible.
_� ------ -- To change -t -he -se now would _:vor!K a. great -.-hardship, as it
would be necessary to go do :.a under the pavement, an(! dorm the
street 100 fest with a pipe, as it woulcl not be possible to get
100 feet away from the buildings by going straight across the street.
I virite to Inlor: if you would not reconsider this, as I do
not believe Jou mould care to put property or: -hers to such epxpense,
when the benefit to be, gained vioul not justify.
Yours truly,
