Letter to the Editor

by In response to Dennis Evanosky's "Tale of Two Tires," would it not have been easier just to pick up the two tires and take them to a service station or tire business, pay four dollars, case closed?

We have our problems with garbage, also, in front of our business, but I find it easier just to pick it up and dispose of it myself.

If Mr. Evanosky wants to write about an unjust policy in Oakland, he should write about the city sewer system. Do people know that if a sewer pipe breaks under the street, the property owner pays for repair? Our sewer pipe broke or pulled away from the main line in the middle of MacArthur Boulevard. We all know that MacArthur is heavily-travelled by buses, trucks, etc. The pipe pulled loose due to the constant movement on MacArthur Boulevard and a prior water-pipe breakage. Why must the homeowner pay for repair under the city street?
