TO
The Almonte Electric Light Commission.
Deer Sirs:-
It has come to our attention that yon are
taking steps to raise the height of the damns on the South Side of the Mississippi River in the Town of Almonte known as "the old Wylie dam" and "the Town Side Dan". Such alteration to these dam would undubtedly at times raise the level of the River and cause our property to be flooded. o
In view of the foregoing we presume you will not persist in going ahead with the work but in case you do so we hereby give you notice that will hold you responsible for any loss or xdamage we may sustain, and also that we intend, to take whatever steps may be necessary to protest our legal rights.
Dated this 2nd day of August, 1928.
