based on petitions received during the past year, and that
iniormataon as oi this time is based on prelim�nary reports.
Mr. Knutson said that for a typical 75 x 125 =oot lot, the
sewer would cost about $540.00 per lot, the water approx�mately
$420.Op per lot, and th� street surEacing approximately $270.00
per lot. Howard Ske11y asked how corner lots weie assessed,
It was explained that corner lots were treated no d?fferently

ieet for street surfacing. Mr. Sheridan ask�d ior a show o�
hands o� those in fzvor and opposed to the pro�ect. There were

buzlt so that the people do not have to pay ror two systems.
The question was as]ced whether the storm sewer was going to

no good. The Manager stated it can be deleted. Mr. Ldolke

th� lin� does not go up along the west side of Highway #65 �
as ��ro��aseci, how wauld the three businesses south of Osborne
Road be served?" Mr. F'.nutson stated that a line could be
broughc over L-rom Van Buren and osborne Road, but there would
