I have not yet received his report but when we do we should be in a better position to decide what our next step will be. Whatever this step is, I hope that 1t can be taken without delay. Work on the fishing_pier was supposed to have started the first of this month but due to the inability of the contractor to get piling delivered on time they are held up for a few days. They expect to get started sometime this month. At Councilman VanderMeer's request I have written twice to Mr. Meadows asking that he quote the city a price on certain land which he owns in the Lincoln Park area. He has advised me that the property is not for sale but that he would consider an offer. I have not been authorized to make an offer and I fear that his price is prohibitive, I expect to meet with our engineers and fiscal agents in Orlando this week and will then make a report to you on the progress and status of our sewer program. I have finally gotten permission to cross under State Road 561 with a casing. This casing will carry both a six inch water main to the trailer court area and a four inch line for pumping water from Sunset Lake. Regardless of pumping the lake the crossing would be necessary for the water main in the near future. The lake is extremely high and pumping should start as soon as possible. I have already been authorized to do this work but it is brought to your attention again due to the bid situation. Insofar as I have been able to determine there are only two Pirms­in Central Florida who do this work. I have contacted them and have a bid from Hubbard Construction Company but the other firm does not appear to he interested. Under these circum- stances I would like authorization to proceed. The cost will be slightly`:'? over $3,000.00. Please understand that only a minor part of this expense is for the actual lake pumping and the remainder would be necessary in any event.
