Column 1 This column lists the various chemical costs as budgeted for 1976. Column 2 This column lists the various chemical costs as estimated in 1971 by the Plant design engineers. Column 3 This column lists the various chemical costs as requested for the 1977 budget. This is based upon our ability to successfully make the transition from the lime method to the ferric chloride. Column 4 This column lists the various chemical costs which would result if the Plant were to be operated, as designed using the lime method, at the present inflated costs. We would like to point out that our first shipment of lime received in January of 1975 was priced at $21.40 per ton with cartage at 7.48 or or $28.88 delivered. On May 15, 1976 the price will advance to $34.30 per ton with cartage at 7.85 or $42.15 delivered. This represents a 46% increase.
