accomplish the construction of’a countywide sewera~r,e dis
posal system including,an ocean outfall 7000 feet in length.
Elapse of time since the bonds were voted in 1949 had
considerably reduced the vaTue of funds available for
construction purposes;and the Committee had found the
Modification Plan the only one,with certain revisions due
to rise in cost since the plan was presented in 1951,which
it could reqomrnend to the Boards for adoption.
The Committee had studied and developed a Revised
Modification Plan which would offer the features of building
facilities with fundsavailabie,being a flexible plan and
yet would provide for construction of the facilities in the
shortest period of’time.
Copies of the Revised Modification Plan were presented
to the Directors,together with tabulations on the detailed
estimates of construction,contingencies,engineering super
vision and inspection,less funds to be made available from
Chapter 20 funds -the aggregate total for expenditures from
bond funds estimated at ~7,292,7O2;and tabulations on the
Districts’bond funds available after deduction of cost of
purchase of the new J.O~S.digester,etc.-aggregating
,lO~,OOO,leaving ~l5,29g reserve for all other costs~
