Cut in Advance Funds for Sewer Survey at Mullens
Mullens Public Works Agency recommends lowering advance planning funds for the sewer system from six to five percent of total cost. Charleston engineer W D Kelly warns the reduced scale is unworkable and may pull out if another engineer is found. He notes water projects received seven and six percent advances. Estimated sewer cost is 118000, with a six percent advance loan requested. Mullens officials intend to pursue the original amount.
