WHEREAS, Watkins Creek Trunk Subdistrict was

1965, and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that such area is not

health is affected, and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewers will be approximately One Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), 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 the construction of
adequate trunk sanitary sewers in the area known as Watkins Creek
Trunk Subdistrict is necessary in the interest of the public
health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately 50,350
lineal feet of 8 to 33 inch pipe and necessary appurtenances,
which shall be capable of efficiently serving or draining the
entire local drainage area; that the estimated probable cost of
such improvement is One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,500,000.00); 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 flow into or be connected with proposed public
interceptor sewers of the Mississippi River Subdistrict.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that special benefit assessments
for the entire cost of such improvement be levied against all land

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a public hearing be held
within said subdistrict to afford all persons interested in said
improvement an opportunity to be heard; that such hearing shall be

determine, but not less than ten nor more than thirty days after
the adoption of this Resolution; and that notice of such hearing
shall be given by the publication of notice in at least one issue
of a newspaper of general circulation within The Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District not less than ten days in advance of the date
