Dear Sir:

I refer to your Article in your November 27,1985, edition, under the
caption "Muddy Water Angers PoCo."

The Article is, of course, .qompletely misleading and libellous.

Alderman Gates, is again engaging in defamatory statements regarding
the Jack Cewe operations on Pipeline Road, no doubt with a view to
retaining public support as "Defender of the Faith, and of Motherhood
Issues."

Alderman Gates objects to the heavy rains of November 2 - 3, 1985,
which also happened tn wash away part of the Barnet Highway. He |
would have us. treat the surplus run-off which cascades off the large
mountain behind us into aqua pura before it reaches the river.
Alderman Gates is mad at nature and wants us to clean up its act. He
has tunnel vision which seems to focus solely on the Jack Cewe
operations - never mind any other gravel pits, or streams or rivers
which also run turbid as a result of severe rainstorms .

Again, Alderman Gates public remarks are not only untrue, mislead-
ing, inflamatory and malicious, but they are derogatory of the
many Government Agencies who have all worked tegether so successfully
in bringing these operations to thtezr present state of efficiency.

I have cffered, on several.occasions, to meet with Alderman Gates or
anyone else who wishes to acquaint himself with the true facts, but
obviously he is noc interested in this as it would detract from his

repértoire,
