In connection with the foregoing we wi!1 submit plans and speciIications to the State Department of Health for its review.

As you are aware,the materials requiTed for Item number 1 are on order,discu9sions have been initiated with the Colorado ‘tate Departnent of Wghways in relation to Item number 2,and a field trip with Mr.Van Horn has established the requirements for the purchasing of land for the steel storage reservoir. It is suggested that payment of the engineeriug fee be made on a monthly basis in an amount commensurate v’itL.the value of the engineering performed during the month.If you so desire,we are prepared to submit for your approval a draft of a formal contract on the basis oî this proposal,however the accctance of this letter proposal by the Town would satisfy our requirements.
