WHEREAS, the Board has received a petition from
property owners in the section of Vinita Park not included in any
subdistrict for the construction of lateral sewers to serve such
area; and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown the necessity for such
improvement by reason of the fact that said area is presently
served by septic tanks, which are inefficient in such a congested
area, and the effluent of which creates a nuisance in said area
and the surrounding territory; and
WHEREAS, it has been estimated that the probable cost
of the installation of such lateral sewers will be $36,000.00, and
that the most practicable method of payment therefor is by special
tax bills, or other evidence of special benefit assessments upon
the real property included in such area;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that lateral sewers be
constructed in the area of Vinita Park described as follows:
That area in Southeastern Vinita Park bounded on the east by
the abandoned right-of-way of Public Service Company Creve
Coeur Line (city limits line is east line of right-of-way);
on the west by North and South Road; on the south by the rear
line of lots fronting on the south side of Page Avenue (which
is south limit of Vinita Park and north limit of University
City); and on the north by the line midway between Madison
Street and Monroe Street (rear of lots fronting on north side
of Madison Street).

Such sewers to be connected with a certain trunk line
sewer presently installed in University City, the connection to be
made at the boundary line between University City and Vinita Park;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that special benefit
assessments be levied against all real property within the
boundaries hereinbefore delineated in the proportion that the area
each parcel of real property bears to the entire area within the
boundaries of the special benefit subdistrict; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a public hearing be held in
the basement of the Methodist Church, 8145 page Avenue, on the
corner of Page and Harrison Avenues, in Vinita Park, at the hour
of 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 7, 1954, and that notice of such
hearing be given by the posting of notices in not less than three
public places within the boundaries of the proposed benefit
subdistrict, and by the distribution of hand bills among the
residents in such benefit subdistrict, for the purpose of
determining whether or not it is in the public interest that such
improvement, or any part thereof, be made. The above Resolution was adopted September 20, 1954.
