Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($187,500.00) is the agreed
purchase price and the remainder is the estimated sum required to

said private sewer system is by special tax bills or other
evidence of special benefit assessments on the land benefited by

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the extension of
the public sewer system by the purchase of a private sanitary
sewer system in the area known as Benefit Subdistrict No. 112
(Heege-Valcour) from Town Service, Inc. is necessary in the
interest of the public health and welfare; that such private
system consists of trunk, subtrunk, and lateral sanitary sewers
and appurtenances of adequate capacity, together with appropriate
easements for sewer purposes and all other rights, whether within
or without said Benefit Subdistrict, necessary to provide sanitary
sewer service to the land within said Benefit Subdistrict; that
the estimated probable cost of such purchase is One Hundred
Ninety-seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars; and that the entire
cost thereof shall be paid for by special tax bills or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land within the
boundaries of such Benefit Subdistrict all of which will be
benefited by such purchase and extension of the public sewer
system.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that special benefit assessments
for the entire cost of such purchase be levied against all lots or

parcels of land in the above described Benefit Subdistrict,
whether public or private, in the proportion that each such lot or
parcel of land bears to the entire benefited area of such Benefit
Subdistrict, exclusive of public streets, roads and alleys.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a public hearing be held
within said Benefit Subdistrict to afford all persons interested
in said purchase an opportunity to be heard; that such hearing
