As all WMPS equipment would not fit into a single container Jim Button fronted the money to purchase a 40' container at a cost of $5272.07 plus another $154.50 to move the old and new containers. All agreed that WMPS will pay Jim monthly until the cost is repaid for this container, and also the first container that he purchased years ago and never got reimbursed for at a cost of $2500.00.
