Dept. personnel in getting account straightened many times. Letter was sent to Mayor Kruzan.

Ms. Rockwood wrote re. 2 properties - 401 S. Dunn and 900 E. 14th. She does not believe she owes amounts for former tenants because she no longer owns property at 401 S. Dunn and she did not receive bills in a timely fashion. She states she is sending check for $466.02 for payment-in-full.
