Subject: (BLACK SNAKY THING) ( City Ordinance Violation )

The following describes violation of ordinance or violation of the mayor's city beautification program but more likely, both. This violation is brought to the attention of the city in spite of the fact that Public Works has been seen making inspection and surveillance drive-bys several times a week even many months before this problem occurred and initially became a hazard.

More than eight months ago, a section of 4 inch flex drain-pipe was seen lying within that portion of Train Lane where motor vehicles travel. After two days of the pipe creating a hazard, an un-named " citizen", in consideration of safety, removed it from the right-of-way to the shoulder of the road but to where it remains to this day on city property. It would seem that adequate time has passed that during one of Public Works surveillance and inspection tours, the city employee would stop for a few seconds and remove what could now be considered abandoned trash.

Because Public Works has failed to observe this abandoned trash, we can only assume they are in need of detailed description and exact location of the abandoned trash. We are presenting distances and lengths in feet and paces because Public Works has displayed an inability to accurately read a measuring devise.

Description for Public Works:The abandoned trash is a black snaky thing, about thirty feet, (ten paces), long, (when stretched out) and has a hole through it all the way from one end to the other. We are certain public works can find the line between 101 and 105 Train Lane. If they will then look the opposite direction, they will surprisingly find there is here-to-for un-noticed property, commonly known as "the other side of the street". Find the power pole, (that is the long piece of wood sticking up in the air from out of the ground with the wires on top). Here the Public Works employee should be careful not to pick the pole that is between 101 and 105 Train Lane at the fences that they have become familiar with because that is the wrong one. The one we are now talking about is the one on the newly discovered "other side of the street". Having found this power pole, look about twenty feet (approximately seven paces), to the west, (that is toward where the sun sets and opposite of where the sun rises, also known as up-hill), is the black snaky thing partly hiding in the grass. It should be easy to remove because it won' t bite and it isn't heavy.

The mayor may reward whoever removes it because although it has taken more than eight months, these few seconds will continue to support his city beautification program.

News Flash! At approximately 7:00 PM this evening, after more than 8 months of freedom to roam the here-to-for un-noticed property, commonly known as "the other side of the street". The above-mentioned " Black Snaky Thing " has been removed from that public property. It can be stated that it was not SC Public Works to credit for this awesome deed, but rather, thank you SCPD and especially Chief Gibson's handling of Shady Coves citizenry's welfare.
