than the paved east-west alley back of your home on Palmer This allows water to drain off and run down to the low spot behind your home The only real solution is to have the north-south alley paved But householders with property backing on the alley are not interested because they would be assessed for the paving Willie you were asked why householders who have flag holders and poles on buildings in East and West Garfield don't fly the flag I too have a flag holder but no flag flying It's not because I'm unpatriotic or thetic I've been handicapped for more than a year re- covering from a fractured hip I want to fly the flag but I just can't get out of the house to put it up It struck me that perhaps there were others in the same spot or with just as good reasons Incidentally I don't
