Report of City Engineer Page 3
Prior to the time set for the meeting, written notices were
mailed to all the property owners across whose land the proposed
sewer Installation crosses and they were invited to be present
at the meeting.
There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting,
Mr. John T. Quinn, representing the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Portland. The proposed plan for the new sewer was explained to
him and he was provided with an attested copy of the Council Order,
copy of the letter to the Catholic Bishop of Portland advising of
the meeting and a complete set of plane for the sewer project.
Prior to the time of the meeting, Mr. Russell H. Peters tele-
phoned informing us that he was representing Mr. Curtis Hutchins
and advised that Nr. Hutchins would not have any objections to
the easement over his land. Mr. Michael Pilot telephoned stating
that he was representing the S. A. Maxfield Company And that he
would not be able to attend the meeting and requested that the
City Magineer call an him at his office and provide detailed ex-
planation. This information and a plan showing the area needed
for the sewer right-of-way has been given t o Mr. Pilot.
The amount of damages, if any, which may be claimed by the
property owners was not discussed at the meeting. At a later con-
ference, Mr. Quinn was advised of the amount of damages to be re -
commanded for the easement over the cemetery property and he indi-
cated he would advise the proper authorities of the recommendation.
No objection to this recommendation has been received.
The S. A. Maxfield Company will be inconvenienced to a certain
extent while the sewer is being installed across their property and
they will not have access to the storehouse for a few days during
the construction of the sewer. This storehouse Is used for the
storage of lime, sulphite and some wool and access is needed at
least every three or four days.
The location soroes the cemetery property is Adjacent to the
west bank of the Renduakeag Stream and a portion to the center line
of the stream. A good part of this area is inundated when high
water prevails, especially in the spring and part of the area is
covered with tress and wild growth. After the sewer hes been in-
stalled, it will be necessary to build a gravel roadway over the
sewer location to provide access for inspection and maintenance.
This roadway can also be utilised by the cemetery for access to
their land after construction has been completed and this access
will be a benefit to the cemetery
location of the sewer across the land owned by Curtis Hutchins
will not interfere with any possible future development of the land.

lishad-es a fair value £er-damages on raw or undeveloped land.

for dosages on the right-of-way needs for this section of the Ren-
duskeag Street interceptor. The following mounts are recommended
as full payment for damages.
