that Oscar Renda Contracting Company has a contract at this time to
construct a 2= -inch water main from Harwood Road to Little Bear Creek along
Fuller-- Wiser. Road. if construction of Fuller -Wiser Road and the bridge
authorized under item No. 11 are to proceed at this time, the 24-inch water

necessitate removal and reconstruction of a. portion of the roadway, in
