The initial step in paper
work preceding tr» proposed
halfmiUion-doflar storm water
drainage project planned for
Ocean City will begin immed*
lately with a survey by city
officials of the retirement
schedule ofbonds previously
issued.
Director of Revenue and finance
Harvey W, Adams and City Solicitor
John E Boswelt announced Friday
they will discuss the city's bonded
indebtedness condition In an effort
to begin the remedy for the city's
perplexing drainage problem.
Director Adams explained that
torn* misting bends will b* «•
tlred In 1957. A band issue In lfM
won't become due until 1958, en*
year after the existing bonds mrw
retired,. Thta mathod will enibla
the lemmliiientri to field the tax
rat* level In the face ef the hugs
prelect, he asserted.
Meantime, the city la discussing
with the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore
Lines the possibility of a tern
porary drainage system along the
railroad right-of-way from 14th to
29th sts.
Mayor Edward B. Bowker reported
that tentative plans call for the digging
of a drainage ditch two feet
deep end 18 inches wide on both
Ides adjacent to the tracks. The
ditch will empty Into drainage pipes
at various streets along Its route.
The errnmltilener) are holding
the pi-^osal {far the temporary
prelect In abeyance pending an
Investigation of the c«t, and also
to determine whether the prelect
will have any place In the ultimate
overall drainage plan.
The improvement of the resort's^
drainage system was promised with.
In two years by the city commission,
ers at their-Induction Into office fol.
lowing their election May 11.
Al that time. Mr, Adams nolntocl
out that the city's bonded indebtedness
in the next two years will be
reduced to a point whore the project
can be financed with a bond issue
without increasing the tax rate.
He said that an engineer's survey
of drainage in all sections of the
city shows a definite need for
ISfiO.OOO worth of work to Install an
adequate system.
