Date: June 20 1939Creator: Steinbrecher, Harold F.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Harold F. Steinbrecher to Mark Morton addressing Godshalk's report that Lake Marmo is filling up with silt he believes is coming from Morton's farm. Steinbrecher found that Morton's drainage tile was in good shape, but the drainage tile on the Slusser farm had been partially blocked and has now been blown up by its connection to the Morton drainage tile, creating a ditch. Some of the silt has come from Morton's farm, but the bulk of it has come from the Slusser farm. The ditch should keep further siltation to a minimum. He suggests planting a grass strip from the road on up the gulley to the point where the erosion stops to remedy a second situation. Handwritten on letter: "Clarence; This explained your trouble MM." Also handwritten on letter: "Aug 15 Sod ditches on Slusser Farm."
