Tomplait, of 11657 North "H" Street, approached the Council: Mr. Mayor and members of the City Council, I just wanted to let you know, I got problems. When you see me, I got problems; you don't see me until I got a problem. These culverts you'all are putting in my ditches - I can't sleep in my house because of the culverts. Tell me, how many cities in this county take out concrete reinforced culverts and put in tin culverts covered with tar? Our sewer system is set up in the ditches. We've had a lot of rain; the water has backed up in the sewer system. You can't walk into my house because you can't stand it right at the present time. I don't know what to do. That's why I am here for an answer. I don't know if other people have run into this problem. I guess it's because we have had a lot of rain, then i,t was hot today. It has melted the tar and the smell has come into the house. Now I had a policeman • out there this evening; I just wanted to get his opinion. More opinion you get, the better off you are.
