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
meeting,and.that they had concurred.in the following:
1.There is no disagreement on the outfall.
2.The net result of all discussions ap-pears to he that
neither the “Bond.Issue”plan nor the “Modified”plan
will be the one finally built.Instead,there will be
additional modifications which it is hoped may embody
the best features of both ~lan~.
3.To wait until all of these details are settled.could
entail months of additional delay in getting the bonds
sold..
L4.To ex~edite the sale of bonds and get the design of the
outfall under way,one of these ~lans should be ap~roved.

together with any of the Directors who may care to join
