The City Council discussed the possibility
of the purchase of the Euless Water and Sewer System from the Municipal Service
Company. The Councilmen present decided to explore every possibility of the
City being able to buy this system for a fair and reasonable price. To determine
what would be fair and reasonable it would be necessary to have a survey of
appraisal made, which would have to be made by competent engineers. It was
decided that City Attorney Bondurant would contact NIA Joe Rady of -the firm
of Joe Rady and Company, consulting engineers, and find out on what kind of a
basis they would make this survey and appraisal for us.
