Daly: This acknowledges your letter dated October 30th wherein you state that members of the City Council will not agree to any rate other than "as fixed and determined in our Ordinance and previously sent out in letter form to your Authority". Le feel that our long negotiations must some time come to an end. Le have, therefore, revised the original contract submitted to you wherein the City of Port Townsend undertakes to supply the water service requirements of housing project 17ASH-45222. The revised contract recites in its Section 3 "Rates" and its Section 5 "Payment" the amend- ments suggested in your letter dated Lugust 31, 1944. Having made these changes requested by you, we trust that you will now deem it proper to advise the City Council of Port Townsend to sign, seal and attest five copies of the proposed contract and return them to this office for execution on behalf of the Federal Public Housing Commissioner, after which an executed and a conformer] cony will be returned to the City far its files. Sincerely yourr, Stanley A. Furman hegional Counsel Region VII Contract Accepted Attorney Daly informed the Council that the contract as offered, complied with the terms of the cityTs ordinance, governing payment for water, and recommended, that it be accepted by the Council.
