Roac -,, acting director, District one, relative to arprcvel of F 'WPA project for constrict ion of = n interceptor serer system for So_, th Bend, desi.jR7r -ted to, State application #304gq. It is the desire of this nd.ministretion th-t cork go forty ^rd on the Construction of the inter- ceptor system as quickly es possible under ;SPA auspices. This to be done in e.nticipation of the construction of sewF g -e dispose, ,dent. We propose to file application at once for n WPA sponsored project for constructi.or_ of a. sewage treatment plant, river cressi_rgs and pumping stations in order thrt the inte_ceptor sewer system be properly coordinated with the Entire sewage dispo&P1 r1-ant. We, therF:fore, believe it wa.zld be niost wise to proceed with the interceptor sewer system eat once. GWF /N Copy to sWPA South Bend, Indiana.

As you undcabtedly know, the usefulness of the interceptors to be constructed under this project will be contingent upon the completion of the river crossings Fnd sew :nee disposal plant. In regard to the City of Seuth Send fi.lirg r project a.pplic - -tion with the Works Progress Administration to construct the river crossings and sewnzle tre := tcrient plant, this sill be ec- ceptnble, however, our r-egul.rtions prescribe that rroject e.pplice-ticnrs presented to us in re- place;nent of -Fpp7 icati.ons- filed with the Public v "corks Administr,�tion shall contain ps sponsor's contribution the same ?mom nt of funds Fs arere to be furnished. on the P.A.A. epplict -.ti on. Due to the fect thpt the conc-tructior_ of the river crossings and treat ! ent plant would require P lnrge number of skilled workers, we believe th. ^t the City of South Bend should nva.il`" *them- selves of the P.'W.A. grant if at ^11 possible,, rns it is very unlikely thnt the required number of skilled rorkers to successfully T;rosecute this chase of the work will be. =?v A1,*?ble from N.P.A. rolls. In the event such skilled labor wo.;ld not be a.vFilnble it would, of course, be neceGs :ry- for the sponsor to provide it. There F1Go is another very good reP)son for the 'Works Progress Admini.strntion not unde'rtnking the ccnstru.cti on of the river crossings bnd trertment plant in P.ddl,ition to the interceri-ors, w1Rich is thet the ccmbi.nFtion of this work ur�ald involve the employment of e Trrger number of works than would be nvrll_ ble to complete this work within F repsonnble length of time. We regret o:a.r ire bility to authorize - l.^cing of this project in operation until such time f�c e pre nssured thpt the relit ed work will be completed, n'nd assure you that this adrinietreti.on �ATili_ give you eny assistance possible tithin our regulations to assist in the complete develop - ment of the sewer t-rertment works end interceptor system.
