. . . . . 3C hR. SHCmT: No sir. DR. JGHAN S. SEKHON, 1575 Edgewater Avenue: I was very much interested in the last gentleman's remarks and I think I won't have to say too much except I have letters here from residents of Arden Hills 2 and they are all for the sewer project, the sooner the better they say and here is one of them - "I don't think you realize that Arden Hills 2 is conteminating Lake Johanna. You have very bas soil conditions. The sewer runs on the ground and goes under Glenarden Road into that open space behind Cummings Lane that comes into Lake Johanna. I had a State BOi;rd of Health man,Mr. Johnson, take samples and it's very important to us that live on Lake Johanna that we be not subjected to contaminated water coming from Arden Hills 2." On Ingerson's property the water table is too high. They can't drain anything in there and they have a lot of trouble building homes in that property. Arden Hills 1 they have had trouble too and I have had a lot of reports. Right now I got word from a man living between County Road F and G on Hamline. He wants me to stop tomorrow to see him. He's a farmer and has two acres. One of the neighbors is draining the sewage on to his property so you see it's coming up to the farmers too. They are complaining that sewer is being drained out and it's not sanitary. I think we must all realize it's expensive. I had a cqnnection made from the stub to the house which was 150 feet. Prices are going up but you can't stop progress. 1\'R. FRANK C. HODGSON, 1484 Skiles Lane: I'm about 14 feet above the proposed sewer. I suppose the price is pretty stiff but as against an epidemic it might seem pretty cheap. I'd like to make an inquiry. To what extent, if any, is there evidence of any water contamination in the area?
