<br /> 17th - "During the~period fr~m April, 194~ through June, 1945, the
<br />Southern Railway Company's monthly Water account was an average of $[~5.39.
<br /> In June~~ 1945, the account exceeded the average cost, at which
<br />time it~was $6~2.70. I am recommending, that we.return'to ~he Southern Railway Company the
<br />difference between the monthly average and the excess in full amounting to ~22~.31, because
<br />of a valve leak at their water tower."
<br />
<br />adopted.

<br />
<br />The following
<br />up:
<br />
<br />Howard that we concur in the Manager3!~recommendation, was
<br />communication of the City Manager, laid on table at the las
<br />
<br /> "The City of Portsmouth, the Virginia Smelting Company and Norfolk 'County
<br />entered into an agreemen~ on ~oril 25th, 19~k, in the amount of $30,000.00, to be paid one-
<br />third each by participants in the agreement.
<br /> It will be impossible tO have the work completed at this price and the
<br />Smelting Company and Norfolk County have both signified their wlllingness to appropriate ad-
<br />ditional mon6y to finish this line.
<br /> It is my suggestion and recommendation ~hat an additiona~'$5~OOO.OO be
<br />appropriated from the Water Funds, which will be met by a like amount from 8a~h of the two
<br />other co-signers of the contract, with authority from you to draw an agreement whereby all of
<br />the conditions based on the contract of $10~OOO.00 each will be modified by an increase of
<br />fifty per cent each to t~e care of the added cost."
