1960/09/03: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.105116)
Date: September 3 1960Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He sent approval of the gate house changes to Mr. Ward. Curbs with plantings are better than platforms. Posts should be 6 inch pipe, fitted with eyes for chain and filled with concrete. He cautions about trailer heaters with unsightly tanks. Electric heaters may be too costly. But proper ventilation would be required for LPG heaters, and conceal the tanks. He approves the change in location of the west gate house, which might be good if they start to charge for parking. Consider the same for the east gate house. He is pleased with the Meadow Lake dredging deal that Godshalk negotiated. He hopes the same for Lake Marmo, and that they both should not need cleaning for a long time. For the bridge he agrees to "put a new arch on either side, after cutting away all of the crumbling concrete." Also a new arch at the back of the old dam is a good idea. He suggests a new deck to tie it all together and he likes the look of a wooden railing to give a better view. He sees many changes to the map and roads in the past five years. He can't find the 'Bird Bath' on the map. He looks forward to meeting Mr. Swink, who has a big job to fill Mrs. Watts' shoes.
