He said the area residents sent a letter to Action Line-Cleveland Press along with a petition. He did say that the Mayor had sent a letter in response to the residents advising of the circumstances. However, no solution to the problem has been made. Mayor Beebe replied that although the Village is sympathetic there is nothing they can do at the present time since it is private property, and that it wouldn't be fair to Village taxpayers to clean up private property.
