tion before the Council. for study be changed to read,- o this Council will..
recommend,afterexamining'the requirements of the area involved, that a
i
santary district be formed'', rather than, �.'o 0 0 .a this Council will recommend.
after examining the requirements' of the area involved, that an .attempt be made
to form a sanitary district He believed this' phraseology would be .a, little
stronger and still flexible.
To a question by Mayor Parent City, Attorney Ed Robert explained' d a:t,
under the suggested change.,' it would still be possible to grant an individual
connection ,beca_use of the w0d 'ng of the resolution,
