The proposal is to widen and deepen the stream and to enclose it in a concrete box throughout its entire course from where it enters one city to where it leaves the other. T h e plan is divided into three projects, as shown by the following letter from the Director of the Physical Plant Department: September 26, 1935 President A. C. Willard, 355 Administration (W) DEAR PRESIDENT W I L L A R D : In accordance with your request, we have analyzed the W.P.A. project submitted by the local representatives for improving the Boneyard. Lack of adequate details and time, however, has rendered our cost estimates little better than a guess. Work Contemplated T h e work contemplated under this program has been divided into three projects, each of which is dependent upon the other to be of any value to the community. The three projects are described and estimated on the application blank as follows: (1) T h e extension of the Boneyard trunk line, the cost of which is estimated as follows: Sponsor's contribution $ 38 611 75 Government's contribution 751 093 25 Total $789 705 00 (2) Improvement of Boneyard from Wright Street to Springfield Avenue and Second Street in Champaign, estimated as follows: Sponsor's contribution $ 10 000 00 Government's contribution 200 809 41 Total a a $210 809 41 See footnote i on page 398. See footnote 2 on page 398.
