would leave approximately $30,000,000 to be finance by the seven Sanitation Districts.

are actually going to upset the marine cycle, and that a great deal of tax funds would
be spent and the water pollution problem would not be corrected.

rescind this action pending further investigation. He stated that no action was necessary

mation back to his Council.

no action was taken at this time.
