I~ith the abandor~ent of the proposed sewer installations in Systems 5B
smd 2BB~ this office has made a further investigation of the poss~ole
areas where seWer lines could be installed at a feasible cost. In revie~M~ug

which to locate. At the present tLm~ ~.~ .have one hundred aud thirty-four
actual house co~-uections ~,~th approximate total cost of construction ar~
engineering of $80,000 to $90,000. ~ith these cosz estimates, t?~ would
make it feasible for the city to instalt se~r lines in ihs Forsst Park
School area. Therefore, Z 'weuld reconmend that Co,~mm~ take the necessary
steps to autnor_ze' ~ our consulti~ engineers to proceed ~th the preparation
of plans and specifications for securing bids on this work.
