<br />
<br /> ?2-440 The following letter from Mr. Donald K. Hobday, 5805 Hawthorne Lane, was read:
<br /> "On this date (Oct.2), my wife, Mrs. Bernice H. Hobday, saw the city machine that cuts
<br />up tree limbs on a side street (Heather Road) near our home and walked over and asked the
<br />attendant if he would bring the machine over to our street and cut up some tree limbs for her~
<br />He stated that he had already bee~ on our street and ~ould not come back until a week from
<br />now, but if she would drag the limbs over to the machine, he would cut them up for her. Thi~
<br />involved dragging the limbs through another neighbor's yard and placing them on still another
<br />neighbor's lawn which is city property at the street. My wife, and my son who had arrived
<br />home from school by this time, dragged the limbs over to the machine. When the truck returnee
<br />to the machine, the city employees could not get the machine motor started and therefore coul¢
<br />not cut up the limbs. When asked to carry the limbs away on the truck, they refused and my
<br />wife and son had to drag the limbs back to our yard. When asked if they could get another
<br />truck or machine, the city employees were very arrogant and both waved in a sarcastic manner
<br />as they drove off.
<br />
<br /> It seems to me that we deserve better service and treatment from those employees whose
<br />salary we pay with the exorbitant taxes that we pay the city.
<br />
<br /> This, Gentlemen, is not a case of demanding serrices, it is only requesting courtesy and
<br />a small return for a large investment."
