Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned, recommend that the proposed Sanitary

point 76 ft. Northof the south line of Outlot 4 - Northern
Addition be assessed to the abutting property as follows:
(a.) $2600 to the Crenlo Co. for its entire ownership
in Outlot s 2 3 and 14.
(b.) At the actual cost per foot, but not to exceed $5.35
per front foot, against all the other property
abutting on 3rd Avenue that will be served and
benefited by the sewer.
(c.) The property owned by C. Thompson on the east side of
3rd Avenue Northwest in Ou'tlot #3 (.Appro,x.4.601) be
assessed at the same rate per front foot as others, but
because of the questionable use by this property of
this sewer, the assessment be deferred and collected as
connection charges on'a front -foot basis when, and if
any part of this property connects to the sewer.
This r.ecommendation• is consistant with the previous recommend-
ation submitted and approved on October 3, 1955• The purpose of
