they make the statement that the installation of a storm sewer would result in a reduction of solids added to the lake and in their conclusion they say to replace the existing drainage ditch would improve the quality of the runoff water. Would you explain how that would come about. MR. HONCHELL: Their conclusions are based on their find- ings and general knowledge which is the fact that the water in the ditches is actually producing a lower quality effluent that reaches the lake than if it were in a pipe because of the phos- phates and activities that go in that ditch (inaudible).

HONCHELL: I would not say it's better, but I would not say it's worse. MRS. DEMOS: You said you didn't understand one of the bond- ing questions.

HONCHELL: I think she's saying can this cost in in- cluded and I guess I would have to bow to our bonding attorney to review this. It's questionable if water coming from this area could be assessed to these people as an expense and this is part of what led me to believe we have two problems. We have 8
