EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
he had been requested to give the Directors
a report on the discussions held on the afternoon ‘prior to this

neither the “Bond Issue”plan nor the ~plan
will be the one finally built.Instead,there will be
additional modifications which it is hoped may embody
the best features of both ‘olans.

entail months of additional delay in getting the bonds
sold.

outfall under way,one of these Diane should be apDroved.

advance approval of the plan that will ‘be the quickest
