Concurring And Dissenting Opinion.
Jackson, J.
— I dissent to that part of the majority opinion reading as follows:
*591“Admittedly, such ‘plans for installation’ were not approved by either the Indiana State Board of Health or the Superintendent of the Dyer Municipal Water Utility, and there is evidence that if such plans were submitted they would not be approved by the State Board of Health.”
Title III, §4-3 of the ordinance reads as follows:
“3. Sewers: The subdivider shall provide the subdivision with a complete Sanitary Sewer System which shall connect with a sanitary sewer outlet, or provide for the disposal of sanitary sewage by means of septic tanks with absorption system, laid out and constructed in accordance with the published recommendations of the Indiana State Board of Health.”
Here the alternative to the sanitary sewer system was employed, i.e. septic tanks, consequently all that was required of such septic tanks was that they be laid out and constructed in accordance with the published recommendations of the Indiana State Board of Health.
I concur in the result of the majority opinion with reference to compliance with Title III, Section 4-4, which holds that approval of the water main supply system was required and was not obtained, hence the action of the town board in withdrawing approval of the subdivision for such failure was correct.
