"The Honorable Alex P. Smekta
Mayor of Rochester
Rochester, Minnesota
Dear Mayor Smekta:
The Water Pollution Control Commission of the State of Minnesota has informed
me of the results of the priority ratings of the applications of communites
for Federal financial assistance with the construction cost of sewage
treatment works under the Federal Water Pollution Control Commission (P.L. 89-
660 and 87-88).
Due to the tremendous need for assistance under this program, all the
communities in the State of Minnesota that were interested will not be able
to receive the financial assistance this year. For that reasons, I have
taken the liberty of contacting the Housing and Home Finance Agency of the
Federal Government. This agency has a program that may be of interest to you.
Grants of up to 50% are authorized by this agency for the cost of water and
sewer systems. Although this does not allow as great financail assistance
as is available under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, I still thought
that you might be interested in receiving the information. Of course, you are
at liberty not to apply for this money and can wait until next year to be
considered once again by the State Water Pollution Control Commission for the
100% grant.
I do hope that the forthcoming information from the Housing and Home Finance
Agency is of help to you. If I can be of any assistance in the future, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
With best wishes.
Sincerely,
/s Walter F. Mondale"
