good drainage, and thexe is no sign of water, even aftex heavy rains, and their
drainage does not go into City streets. A representative from the Northern Pacific
Railway stated that he ob�ected, and did not feel that they would benefit as much

residents in this area that are affected, as well as the industrial property owners.
Mr. Comstock explained this storm sewer from an engineering standpoint. Mr Mi11er
from Electro-cote stated that the industrial property should be required to drain to
the back of their property. He felt that the amount they were being assessed relative
to the,ir propexty value was not feasible. Mr. Torrey from Midland Coop asked when
action would be taken on this. It was stated that if there were eoo many ob�ections,
