Works Agency, with reference to the additional water supply facilities constructed
for the City of banford in 1942 by the Federal Works Agency at a cost of
under Federal Project No. Fla 6.252 (F), advising that the Lanham Act requires revenue
producing Federal projects to be leased to the operating agency under an agreement
which provides that the revenues accrue to the Federal Government, but in view of the
fact that a separate operation of the Federal and City-owned facilities is impracti-
cable, exception to the rule will be necessary and the Federal Works Agency will lease
the aforesaid facilities to the City for a flat rental of $10OO.OO per year under an
agreement containing the following clause: # In the event that the Lessee purchase or
agrees to purchase the Leased Property from the Government during the term of this lease
or at the expiration thereof, all payments made to the Government by the Lessee
hereunder shall be applied on the purchase price of the Leased Property.·

said water surely facilities from the Federal Government at a rental of $1OOO.OO per

years of age and subject to being drafted into military service, stating that they had

Thereupon after comparison of the bide received, and in view of the fact that
the Utility Service Company's bid did not include any cleaning and painting of the
interior of the water tank, and also specified that part of the exterior cleaning
will be done by wire brushing instead of sandblasting, Commissioner Gut moved that the
bid be awarded to K.L. Bharpe.
