WHEREAS, the Board has received a petition from
property owners in the area of Signal Hill Drive and Florissant

cost then estimated to be approximately Forty-two Thousand Dollars
($42,000.00); and
WHEREAS, it is now estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewers will be approximately Fifty-eight
Thousand Dollars ($58,000.00), and that the most practicable
method of payment therefor is by special tax bills, or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefitted
by such installation,
