An estimate of 81 million
for a storm drainage con-
struction program in Rock
vile slid down the drain as
a stunned City Council
learned the program would
cost nearly 1925 million.
In a report to the council Tues.
day Hayes, Seay, Mattern and
Mattern, engineering firm OF
Washington, recommended only
partial construction immediate
~ to bring the cost more In line
with the anticipated expense.
In order to cut 81 million from
the project bringing the imme-
date figures to approximately
SIPS million the engineers sug-
gested placing or replacing
storm.sewer pipes only in the
most vital areas. For the remain
ing areas, existing open bitches
would be cleaned, reshaped and
sodded.
The city, in its 1959-60 bud
get, allocated the 81 million fig
ure for the storm drainage pro-
gram.
According TO the report, these
figures are 30 per cent higher
than those in a similar report
