This structure has been ravished by three fires occurring on the following dates : February 11 , March 13 and April 3 , all in 1979 . The building is unsafe due to the severe burning on the dates mentioned above . Most structural members , joists, studs and rafters have been weakened; the roof has been almost completely consumed by fire and stairways have been rendered useless. In my opinion, this building presents a definite fire and safety hazard because of the extensive damage and should be razed with all expediency. Very truly yours , ames F.

Dear Mr. Powers: I am writing to inquire about the status of a burned- out building located on the corner.of Tremont and Mason Streets. The residence in question originally burned during the middle of the past winter, and subsequently, several other smaller fires have occurred there. At the present time, the building remains boarded up, but it is certainly a continuing target for either vandalism or another fire. In its present condition itlis. an eyesore, a detriment to neighborhood property values, and possibly a health hazard. I realize that legal and economic factors often slow down repairs, renovations or razing, but as the summer progresses and no action is forthcoming, I am afraid that this building will re- main in this condition for some time. I am writing to ask if you, acting for the city of Salem, can inform me about the 6c ner's intentions concerning the repair or demolition of the property. If there are no plans, what /J steps can you take to promote such action?I understand that these matters are rola.tively com- plicated and that they do take a period of time to resolve, but I / would appreciate any information that you can provide regarding this matter. Thank you for your time and effort in this regard. Sincerely, Steven D. Whitten FPower AGEE6SALE AL ESTATE and in execution r of Sale contained in mortgage given S. WEAVER and E.
