Honorable ~ayor and City Council
City of Denton
9enton, Texas
Honorable Slra:
Pursuant to the agreement wem-de on June 6, 1944, Mr.
g. A. 4andry, one of our Transits Pipe Instructors,
remained In Denton for the duration of the installa-
tion.of your 2~'t Transite Sewer Pipe outfall line and
observed tee layinE and assembly of every pipe section.
Althous~ this la not our usual practice, kr. 4andryts
duties and responsibilities were exactly the same aa
they would be on any installation Job where an instruct-
or would oz.uinarily remain only a few days in order to
assist in familiarizing the pipelayinE crews with our
published recommendations for laying Transits pipe.
CITY HALL
~eptember 1, 1~+
~r. 4andry assumed no enginnsring or supervising
responsibilities, ur. ~andry nas reported that care was taAcen
throughout the installation to see that first class bedding, as de-
fined in our "Transits Sewer Pipe Installation Manualu was
achieved, and that for all practical purposes it was achieved.
The writer was in Denton for several days during the early
stages of tile installation and observed that care was taken to
properly bed the pipe with tile result that an excellent Job of
installation was being done. Mr. Landry has advised that this
same conaition prevailed thrOUghout the Job.
lie recommend as a matter of general seed practice that a pipe
line have a minimum cover, of 2 feet, but where there are no
super loads imposed by vehicular traffic it is obvious that
this n~Lnimum need not be adhered to. ~Alie is the case as re-
gards your sewer line. The grade WhiCh it was necessary to
lay to resulted in a considerable length of the line at the
disposal plant end having less than 2 feet of cover, part of
it even being above ground. ~owever, the same care was exer-
cised in bedding the pipe as was done on the balance of the
line and fill material was hauled in to bring the cover up to
2 feet where it was leas than this amount. Where the line
comes out of the ground, fill material was also hauled in and
well tamped along the sides as well aa on top of the line. For
the snort ru~ Just ahead of the grease trap where the line was
laid above solid ground concrete piers were poured to provide
proper support for each section of pipe.
ge trust that the foregoing fulfills our part of the agree-
ment wherein we were to furnish you with a letter stating
whether oz. not, in the opinion clout Transits Pipe Instructor,
Mr. J. A. 4andry, a first class Jobof installation wan secured~
It was understood that such a statement would in no way con-
stitute a guarantee of the construction or engineering since
these responsibilities a~ no time devolved upon Mr. Landry.

pertaining to the City into the record, ! wish to file this state-
sent with the City Comm~ salon; ami I also ask that.the same be
mede · part of the minutes of this date.'
The matter in question i8 the program of repair and expansion for
the City Utilities-Water-Light-Sewer.
With the study that has been given to this problem for tile peet
six months, end with the aid. of the"technicat'.el~t 'professional ad-
r-- vice that the City Officials have availed themselves, it is my
conviction and my rec_nnnendation that the Utility Program be esr-
_ ried out as recommended by the engineers. This prozrom should be
lauached t,mRdiately 8o as'-to-be ready to take advantage of any
slackening o1' priority r.egulation8.
! mn opposed to the financing of this program in any other-meaner
titan by revenue bonds. Under. this method the tax structure off
the City would not be molested, and the taxing ability of the
City would be held in reserve for the finencint of public school
improvements, street improvements, o~ any-other' improvements that
might become necessary and could only be financed out of tax
revenues,

1. Mayor Lee Preston reed a statement which he requested be
mede e pert of the minutes. By agreement the Oon~zission ordered
the message made a pert of the minutes. The Mayor's statement is
es follows:
City Commission June 4, 1945
City of Denton
Denton, Texas
Deer ~irs:
It has been effreed by the city officials end nmny citizens
who have become acquainted with the City utilities finances, that
e sewer charge enoula be made.
This charge is necessary in order to make the Sewer Depart-
ment self-supporting, thereby relieving the other two Utilities
Departments (~ater end Light) of this btu'den; a burden they have
borne for years.
It is obvious in my opinion that the maount of the charge
, will be governed by whether or not the bond issue of June 12 car-
ries. Should the bond issue ~arry, only a very nominal charge
would be necessery~
For that reason I recommend that the ordinance setting a
sewer charge be not passed until after June 12, 1945.
.Yours very tzuly,
Signed,Lee Preston, Mayor
LP:E City of Denton, Texas
2. City Attorney, ~erl Coleman, asked that hie opinion regard-
ins the trznsfer of utilities ~unds be mede a pazt of the minutes.
The Co,~tssion agreed to this, and the opinion is ss follows:
City Oommtsaton May 7, 1945
City of Denton
Dehton, Texas
Gentlemen:
In view of the fuct that the City Commission of
the City of Denton, Texas, h~s authorized an election for the pur-
pose of submitting several propositions as to whether or not the
City Coz,mission shell be authorized to issue revenue bonds in the
total sum of $1,500,000.00, end to pledge or mortgage the revenues
from the water end light plant, end in view of the further fact
that in e discussion of the plans for the financing of the ed-
ministration of our city government it has been mentioned that it
will not be necessary to raise.the tax rate of said city because
of the f~ct that ~ transfer can be mede of excess profits from the
utility system after the payment of the einkin$ fund to cover
.52 c, Y H LL
Jm e 4, 1 45
principP1 and interest on enid bonds, I feel that it is my duty ~,
ss City Attorney of the city of Denton, Texas, to call your at-
tention to certain matters which ere hereinafter set out.
Our law provides that wnen revenue bonds have been issued
against the revenues of the utility system of any city that no
pert of the income of any such system so encumbered shell ever
be used to pay any other debt, expense or obligation of such
city except a debt against such system until such revenue bonds
have been finally p~id. When end if such ~.evenue bonds ere is-
sued it will ce illegal and impossible to transfer profits of
our utility system to any other fund of the city or for any
other purpose then the liquidation end payment of such bonds so
issued, end the revenues heretofore received and paid into the
general fund out of the profits of eels utility system will, if
such bonds are issued have to be secured from other sources.
I am filing this opinion with the city secretary in order
that it be available for your consideration in mexing plans for
financing problems of this city.
Yours very truly,
Signed,Earl L. Coleman

'- Then the engine will be operated et 1005 rating for 118 hours
continuously then the loe~ shall be increased to llO~ rating for
a period of 2 hours. Engine will be required to burn all fuel
at 100% ratine with clear exhaust. At 1105 rating alight haze
of exhaust will be permitted. If engine testa and performance
e~e satisfactory the engine shall be converted to a gas engine
and test outlined above repe~ted. If first and second teats
reveal that engine has met all guarantees in accordance with
these specifications, and contract el~ performance is satisfactory,
same shall be accepted end final payment mede.
During the testa any damage of any ann every nature that mhy oc-
cur to seia engine, the manufacturers shall replace any ~nd all
defective parts necessary to place engine in es good or better
condition than before tests began.
