Although there are
flea, \ ’ ‘
the old plan, it was considered ad
visable to ‘sacrifice time for space’
in the case ef Stephenville because
the unit there has a larger author-
ised strength and the gator1 is a
difference of from 10.772 to
16,360 square feet and a cost dif-
ference of briween approximately
$7$,000 and $100,000.
I believe you will agree that the
delay will be worth while, and I
would like to asaure you that we
will handle the matter as expe-
ditiously as possible.
I cannot predict a definite date
for the commencement of con-
struction because of the mar./ and
varied elements incident to the
satisfying of state - and federal
agencies as well as the bond in-
denture under which the state’s
part is financed.
As soon as I have any further
information concerning this proj-
ect, I will be happy to pass it on
