John Mayo, Public Works Director, reported that last week, the percentage of protests on the McClure Sidewalk L.I.D. #948, was 50.7%, and as of this week to date, there are 50.6% protests. City Attorney Andrews reported on his meetings and correspondence with a Harry McMurray, whose property outside the City Limits was flooded as a result of overflow from the Cowiche Creek going through his property. Mr. McMurray has written to the railroad, who he believes is chiefly responsible for this situation, because the new railroad bridge was placed at a wrong angle and catches all the trash, causing his property to be flooded. • The railroad has not answered his letter, and he has written to many others including the City of Yakima, Yakima County Commissioners and the State Highway Department. He has conferred with City Attorney Andrews, who asked the Council for suggestions on helping this man. City Attorney Andrews mentioned Mr. McMurray had threatened to take materials from the dikes to prevent his land from again being flooded if he doesn't obtain results from his notifications. Councilman Robinson indicated that Mr. McMurray should be warned against removing materials from the dikes and that he should seek help through his own Attorney. Councilman Lynch indicated the'City Council should try to help Mr. McMurray in some way, but legally the City can't-help him since he is outside the City Limits.
