Box 66 Orono, MN 55323 J(/,V 1931 Re Request for waiver of demolition permit Residence on Lot 1, Block 1, MacMILLAN ADDITION, according to the recorded plat thereof, Orono, Minnesota TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council: Fbr a number of years it had become obvious that it did not make practical sense for our family to retain the old residence on Lot 1, Block 1, MacMILLAN ADDITION since no one was living in the house, and therefore a determination was made to remove the dwelling house from the property.

He was very happy to agree to that and in connection therewith an agreement was entered into ivith the Long Lake Fire Department whidi we understood to be everything which was necessary in order to permit the house to be burned in this controlled burning and training exercise.
