WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 129 (North Hills Homesites
Trunk) was established on petition by Ordinance No. 527, adopted
April 6, 1961; and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that such is not
adequately served by subtrunk sanitary sewers and that the public
health is affected; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 396, adopted June 1, 1961
the Board of Trustees declared the necessity of constructing
subtrunk sanitary sewers in such area at an estimated cost of
Eighty-two Thousand Dollars ($82,000.00); and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 425, adopted July 10, 1961
the Board of Trustees found and determined that it is in the
public interest that such improvement be made; and
WHEREAS, it is now estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewer will be approximately Ninety-five
Thousand Dollars ($95,000.00), 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,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that said Resolutions
No. 396 and No. 425 be and they are hereby repealed; that the
construction of adequate subtrunk sanitary sewers in the area
known as Subdistrict No. 129 (North Hills Homesites Trunk) is

inch pipe and appurtenances, which shall be capable of efficiently
serving the entire local drainage area; that the estimated
probable cost of such improvement is Ninety-five Thousand Dollars
($95,000.00); 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 benefitted by such improvement; and that
such improvement be constructed in said subdistrict, such
facilities to connect to an existing public sewer adjacent to said
subdistrict.
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
