WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 89 (Loretta-Joplin) was

1960, and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that such area is not
adequately served by major storm sewers and that the public health
is affected; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 422, adopted June 29, 1961
the Board of Trustees declared the necessity of constructing major
storm sewers in such area at an estimated cost of One Million One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000.00); and
WHEREAS, it is now estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewers will be approximately Six Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000.00) and that the most practicable
method of payment therefor is by special tax bills, or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by
such installation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that said Resolution No.

serving or draining the entire local drainage area; that the

Thousand Dollars ($650,000.00); that the entire cost of such
improvement shall be paid for by special tax bills or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by
such improvement, and that such improvement be constructed in said
Subdistrict, such facilities to flow into the Mississippi River.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that special benefit assessments
for the entire cost of such improvement be levied against all land
in the above described Subdistrict, whether public or private, in
the proportion that each such lot or parcel of land bears to the
entire benefited area of such Subdistrict, exclusive of public
streets, roads and alleys.

improvement an opportunity to be heard; that such hearing shall be
