Mr. Robert H. Morriss,
Asst. Chief of Construction
301 City Hall

Atlanta, Ga. 30303

Dear Mr. Morriss:

We have delayed answering your letter of July 7th concerning the Long Island
Creek Pumping Stations because we wanted to review the original contract for
the Metropolitan Sewer System, and subsequent amendments under which the
various sewage facilities have been constructed, remodeled and operated.

We think it would be very bad indeed if we should depart, in this instance, from

the well-established custom of having all municipalities and the County participate

in the construction and operation of each facility on the pro-rata basis of its use

of the facility. The suggestion which you made in your letter of July 7th, and the
earlier agreement which apparently was prepared in your office, of course, have
merit, but we feel that continuance of a system which has worked well in the past not
only will be fair in this instance, but will have some value because it follows an
established custom,

Another reason why we feel this course of action should be followed is that we have
other facilities, including FulCo, which should be treated in the same manner. Un-
doubtedly in the future there will be other occasions where the County or the City
will build the facility, but the cost of construction and maintenance will be shared

with other governments.

Will you consider the matter and draw a proposal in line with the existing amendments

to the original contract?
\io truly,
AX T. McDonald, Director, J
