District Commissioners requesting an esti-
mate Of the cost of extending sewer and
water main on Blair road to accommodate
his property about 600 feet north of Chest

tenn at an estimated cost to him of S52j
unless the owners of the intermediate prop
critics join in the application, in which case
the sewer can be laid under the assessment

be extended at a cost of $125 to Mr. Shoe
maker, this sum representing the amount
Of the assessment which will be levied
