Measures, incorporating the utility stream, serve as generalized plans to continuous allocation processes. The paper establishes the automatic existence of optimal plans, characterization of optimal solutions by a multiplier-type condition, and representation of generalized plans as sums of ordinary ones and singular measures. The latter can, in particular, be chosen as a finite combination of atoms.
