WHEREAS, the Board has received a petition from
property owners in the area in the vicinity of Alaska Avenue in
the City of St. Louis, Missouri, not included in any subdistrict
for the construction of 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 outdoor toilets, which are insanitary in such a
congested area, and which create a nuisance in said area and the
surrounding territory; and
WHEREAS, it has been estimated that the probable cost
of the installation of such sewers will be Five Thousand Five
Hundred ($5,500.00) Dollars; 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 the construction
of sanitary sewers in said area is necessary in order to protect
the health of the residents therein, that such sewers shall be
sanitary sewers available to each parcel of property in the area;
that the estimated cost of constructing such sewers is Five
Thousand Five Hundred ($5,500.00) Dollars; that such costs shall
be paid for by special tax bills or other evidence of special
benefit assessments upon the real property in the area; and that
such sewers be constructed in the area in the vicinity of Alaska
Avenue in the City of St. Louis described as follows:

3
of beginning,
which said area shall be and the same is hereby designated Special
Benefit Subdistrict No. Thirteen, and such sewers therein to be
connected to certain trunk line sewers presently installed in
Steins Street at Alaska Avenue, the connections to be made at an
existing manhole therein; 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 said Special Benefit Subdistrict No. Thirteen at such time
and place as the Executive Director shall determine, 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.
