Sandridge, Daughtry, McNutt, Bain, Smith, Robinson, Cheavacci, Harris, representing the Culpeper bidd~er, and Snyder representingtheVirginia State Department of Health, and. Dr. Sturkie. After a lengthy discussion it was unanimously agreed by the Committee that we recommend the building of the 250,000 gallon filtration p!ant, and that Mr. Harris would submit ap!an to bnild the plant whereby his company would be paid a fee, over and above the costs of labor and materials used in building the fi~ter plant. He would economize in every way possible in the buying of materials for the filter plant. This information should be available by July 16, when the next meeting of the Board is scheduled. We further recommend that consideration be given to an increase of the water rates simultaneous with the initial operation of the filter plant, and as a basis for the increase suggest that the minimum charge be raised from $2.50 per month to $3.50 per month for 7000 gallons, instead of 4500 gallons at the $2.50 rate, and that the present rate of $1.50 be increased to $2.50 per month, and the water quantity be raised from 2000 to 4500 gallons. This should increase the annual revenue about $2590.00 under present conditions. We further recommend that after the $100,000.00 bond issue has been sold that the balance of the costs be borrowed from the general fund and repaid in the next few years. This amount may be anywhere from $10,000.00 to $20,000.00. Respectfully submitted, CROZET WATER COMMITTEE (Signed) A. J. Apperson Edward L. Smith E. H.
