Please refer to our letter C/PA-132 of May 24, 1944
to which was attached three copies of our Map BRA-1553 - Revision
1 giving a detail survey of the proposed right-of-way necessary
for the installation of our 12 inch pipe line.
*
We attach to this letter three prints of Drawing BRA -
1553 5 Revision 2. Revision 2 covers a slight change in the pro
posed right-of-way just south-east of the town of Buri. We are
proceeding with the right-of-way in accordance with Revision 2
as this particular section of ground is undoubtedly State land.
Our reason for this revision is that as originally
contemplated the right-of-way crosses a large burial ground in
this particular section and rather than do the huge amount of
earth work removal to level the right-of-way in this area and
also because of the historical significance that may be attached
to such mounds, we deemed it advisable to skirt around the
northern edge as shown in our Drawing BRA-1553-2.
Will you please substitute the attached Drawing covering
Revision 2 for previous Drawings submitted to your office.
We are proceeding with leveling operations and stringing
pipe along the right-of-way although we have not yet received
formal approval from your office. If there are any objections
to us proceeding in this manner until formal approval has been
received please advise.
