~42 TUESDAY AUGUST 24, 1965 Council acknowledged receipt of the following bids for the installation of 6,689 feet of sewer line (6,566 feet of 8m and 123 feet of 611) in the Lanier Road area, with Council accepting the lowest bid, as submitted by Prillaman and Pace: Hackler-Seymour Metal Works, Inc. Laramore Construction Company Prillaman & Pace, Inc. $45,868.00; $38,763.00; and $28,955.00. Mr. H. E. Thomas, along with his counsel (ltr. Frank I. Richardson,Jr., Attorney at law), appealed to Council for relief from--or correction of-- conditions described as hazardous and alledgedly caused by the impounding of water on Mr. Thomas' land in the area between George Street and Liberty Street by the construction of Armory Road. City Manager Hirst reported that, in the construction of Armory Road, which was graded by Lester Lumber Company (donor of the right-of-way) and for which the City furnished culvert pipe, Lester Lumber Company had verbally agreed to fill in the area in question to make for property drainage and to prevent the impounding of water, but that the method now being used by Lester Lumber Company(viz., by soil erosion) is quite slow and is not that originally contemplated. Council referred this matter to Mr. Hirst and v~. Brown who indicated that they would attempt-- as they have in the past--to work out a solution of this problem with Lester Lumber Company. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously adopted, Council accepted a perpetual easement from the Virginia National Bank covering an area of fifteen square feet at the corner of Lester and Church Streets to provide for a realignment of this corner in relation thereof with the proposed widening of Ellsworth Street for an improvement in the flow of traffic at this intersection.
