Grafius Run still concerns city officials, in fact, the stream continues to be a topic of discussion in official and unofficial discussion among local councilmen.

In council sessions the officials continue to discuss the run and flooding problems which the conduit at Highland Terrace presents.

And based on what various city officials say, Grafius Run will continue to occupy the attention of council until a remedy to the flooding conditions can be found.

Just what the solution will be and when it comes, remain two unanswerable questions at this time. However, city officials hope for a solution to the problem.

City officials make no attempt to temper their vexation over the stream relocation. What probably annoys them more than anything else is the fact that the stream was changed without city approval. They contend that even though the Faxon Land Company got state permission to do the work, city council should have been asked for authorization.

The realty firm obtained a state department and forests permit to straighten out 1,200 feet of Grafius Run north of Highland Terrace. However, the city learned of the action only about two weeks ago — after the course of the stream had been altered.

Consequently, in attempt to prevent such happenings again, city council wants the state to tighten its conditions for stream location permits.
