Vandalia officials were presented a 2655 dollar check by Ray Callanan of the Board of Public Works as the city's portion of last year's water and sewer system profits. The figure reflects profits above a 300000 dollar replacement fund and contradicts a one year only interpretation of the 1969 agreement granting the city half of BPW profits. Aldermen plan to meet with the BPW to resolve the dispute.
