Fred Strange, Chairman of Planning Commission, reviewed the proposed project stating that the State Highway Department will curb and Pave C Street if the City takes c'are of drainage. Also the usual procedure is to spread cost of trl!nk sewers over area benefitted. If owners were required to pay half of all cost, the amount would be three times as much. As proposed, bUlk of cost will be paid by the state. Mr. Vergeer explained that storm sewer will not only benefit C Street but other areas, and that is why those areas are required to pay. Councilman Wolfe stated the question is whether or not the property owners want to take advantage of offer by the State. , Danny Smith assured that the State was not giving C Street to the City and requested the Attorney to explain procedure of establishing improvement' districts. Attorney Trumbull asked the ingineer if the State would consider paving without the'whole storm sewer pro- ject. Mr. Warder answered he believed they would as disposal of the storm water is the City's problem. Mr. Gwynn wondered if the City could afford funds to assist in cost of project. Mr. Strange answered that the Street Uepartment will spend considerable for stubbing infor sanitary sewers at time of construction. Other 'property owners agreed as to need of improvement, and as it is benefit to all the City, cost should be borne evenly. George Sylvia considered C Street property Ohners as asking too much of other taxpayers as they have paid and are still paying other blanket assessments.
