Minutes-8 /25/1981

Anderson: Yes. Rohret: Don't like spending money but the longer we wait the more expensive it will get. This company might not even come back and bid on project. Then we're right back to nobody coming to look at it. Potter: Probably have more than $300.00 invested in it now. Madden: Who did Brown contact in April? Potter: Gave Brown name of three companies from engineer. We all hate to spend the money but it's not like we're putting another tax burden on town.

Will drain totally. Will redo it if as much as a blemish. Potter: Cathodic converter was useless in bottom of tank. Engineer recommends not putting it back in. Anderson: Ice takes rods out.
