TO THE SANITARY DISTRICT OF ROCKFORD:
REFERENCE IS MADE TO LETTER OF SEPTEMBER 19, 1956, FROM YOUR DISTRICT ENGINEER, RELATIVE TO YOUR CLAIM FOR A BALANCE OF $505 ALLEGED TO BE DUE UNDER CONTRACT NO. W-6116-QM-4 FOR CERTAIN SEWAGE DISPOSAL SERVICES FURNISHED AT CAMP GRANT, ILLINOIS, AFTER APPLYING A PRIOR OVERPAYMENT BY THE UNITED STATES FOR SIMILAR SERVICES. THE MATTER WAS THE SUBJECT OF OUR DECISION OF SEPTEMBER 17, 1956, TO YOU.
IT APPEARS THAT THE OVERPAYMENT AROSE IN CONNECTION WITH SERVICES RENDERED DURING JUNE 1946, OR DURING A PERIOD WHEN YOUR PLANT OPERATION WAS PERFORMED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NEEDS OF THE CAMP GRANT MILITARY RESERVATION DURING THE WAR EMERGENCY. THE RECORDS INDICATE THAT AT THE SAME TIME NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES WERE UNDERTAKEN TO SECURE A DEFINITE CONTRACT SCHEDULE OF RATES BY WHICH APPROPRIATE SERVICE CHARGES COULD BE COMPUTED. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION AND AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS IN QUESTION, IN THE LIGHT OF THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN YOUR LETTER OF SEPTEMBER 19, 1956, THERE APPEARS SOME DOUBT AS TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OVERPAID PRIOR TO THE CONVEYANCE OF NOVEMBER 25, 1947--- AS REFERRED TO IN THE DECISION OF SEPTEMBER 17, 1956--- AND THERE IS INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO ESTABLISH THE AMOUNT ALLEGED TO BE DUE YOU.
