Peacock Park, lying one-half mile
west of the city. co-tsips. about
thirty eight acres of building land.
The new sewer will also serve
houses along it's course and others
in the region Of Peacock Park.
The extent to which the line VIII
be developed outside thetcity limits
depends upon the Development
company's plans, the city making
no restrictions in this matter.
The clause covering the size Of
the sewer was inserted to provide
a large enough line to adequately
care for all homes in the vicinity.
Under the condition imposed. the
city may call for whatever size of
line that shall sem necessary after
a survey is made
The charge for the privilege of
tapping into the development COM
pany's line shall not exceed $50
under the contract ruling. 1t was
stated however, that the amount,
would probably be less than $50
Should a tap larger than four
inches be desired by any property
owner or group ofproperty owners.
the city reserves the righS to- fix
the charge. The development COM
pany is under no obligation to sen
tap privileges to persons whose
property lies more than 600 feet
from the line.

render the city liable for fires &C
curing outside the corporate !
