with the Council some problems which might have to be faced in
the near future in regard to water and sewerage in connection
with any new subdivisions that may be proposed.
Mr. Ben 0'Neal, Sanitary Engineer of the Count~ Health
Department, said the County Health Department are greatly con-
cerned that the rapid growth of Boynton Beach might result in
a serious situation with insufficient water and lack of sewerage.

for the City could be investigated, and suggested the preparation
of a master plan covering water and sewerage; that it would be
very satisfactory if some way could be found to start a com-
prehensive program soon covering new subdivisions, and that it
did not seem feasible for such subdivisions to put in sewerage
individually.

floating a bond issue for the purpose of installing sewerage.
