May 21st , the d�te o� the public hearing ror the proposed sew2r pro- ject on North Sho?-e Drive. I believe my views are well known to most of you--I would like the project completed as soon as possible. Throughout this process we , the residents, have been told that our views would be taken intc account and tha� it was up to us to decide whether or not we wanted the pro- �ect. I believe the vote (8 to 3 with one abstentior., or 8 to 4 in favor) is a rinqing endorsement that should ,_ not nor cannot be ignored by you, our elected repre- sentatives. I believe the project is essential for the reasons specified in my previous letters to you so I will not belabor those points here. I would only like to emphasize that the project has been overwhelmingly approved by tnose of us affected and that the bidding climate is e�;tremely favorable at the present time--one onlv has to look at the low bids coming in on the stadium to see the savings we might realize if we mo��e witnout delay. I might add that witn the extremeiy drj� weather we have been h�ving, tne water levels have dropped and construction miqht be cor.siderably less costly. It is no�T time to act--tc folloti� tnrouah with your original �romise thzt the resinGnts should decide the issue--we have decided--we want the �-oject by at least 2 to l .

Our feelings in this maiter are that we do not want the sewer, as we do not . have a problem. This has been determined by tests on our '' present system as late as 13st Fall , 1979. l�le regularly take care of our system on a planned pump out schedule to meet the city of Orono r2quirements. We cannot attend the hearing May 21st, but would be against the project. Very truly your � John H. Eastman 2656 North Shore Dr. P.O. Box 53 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 '
