Walker's property had widened
by two feet in the past two years
due to water flowing of Lincoln,
White and Royal Streets.
Councilman Larry Dorrough
asked Gregg what the city had
done wrong.
Gregg said he had searched
the records and found that peo-
ple hadn't lived in the residence
more than six er eight months at
a time.
He said the cause was proba-
bly due to the erosion and stench
problem and nothing was ever
done about it.
City Attorney Danny Lee said
the drainage has been there for
20 years and doesn't belong to the
city. He added the church prop-
erty has cause more drainage
runoff than the city.

done anything to cause more
water to go through the land and
