ATLANTA , GEOR GIA OFFICE OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS ROOM 300 • TELEPHONE , 165 CENTRAL AREA CODE AVENUE , 404 s. W , 522-5310 • 30303 EXT . 301 July 21, 1967 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 va rious s ewag e facilities have been constructed, remodeled and operated . We think it would be very ba d indeed if we should depart , in this instance, from the well- e stablished custom of having all municipalities and the County participate in the cons truction and operation of each facility on the pro-rata basis of its use of the fa cility . The suggestion which you ma de in your letter of July 7th, and the earlier agreem ent which apparently was prepared in your office, of course , have merit, but we feel tha t continua nce of a system which has wo rked w ell in the pa st not only will b e fa ir in this insta nce, but will have some value because it follow s an established custom . Anot her reason why w e feel this course of action should be followed is that we have other fa cilities, including FulCo, which should be t reated in the same m a nner . Undoubtedly in the futur e there will be other occasions where the County or the City will build the fac ility, but the cost of construction a nd maintenance will be s hared with other governments . Will you consider the matter and draw a pr oposal in l ine with the exi sting amendments t o the original contract? ~ ATM / h cc : Messrs . Carl Johnson, Har old Sheat1;, rytruly, F. . T .
