Questions were asked by Mr. Douglas, Mr. McCaffery, Mr. Block, and Mr. Friel relative to assessments, incidental costs, and inclusion of East Bay Municipal Utility District properties to reduce costs, which Mr. Horstkotte answered. Mr. Horstkotte stated that if the East Bay Municipal Utility District property to the west and north was developed a pumping station would be required \ which would eliminate the present Flush Kleen pumping station and provide service for the Local Improvement District No. 35 area, resulting in the abandonment of certain lines in Local Improvement District No. 35. He suggested that the Board might consider a contribution of $10,000.00 to Local Improvement District N~. 35 as the value of this abandonment. Mr. Horstkotte also stated that approximately lO building sites of East Bay Municipal Utility District property to the north could receive service through lines installed in Local Improvement District No. 35; to participate in the cost would require annexation to the Sanitary District.

It was moved by Member Roemer, seconded by Member Salfingere, that the Hearing on Local Improvement District No. 35, Resolution of Intention No. 1032, be continued for two weeks and Mr. Friel be requested to contact the property owners in the Snug Harbor area to find out if they woulrl want to go ahea:i at present or take a cha~ce on higher costs at a later date by waiting for possible participation of East Bay Municipal Utility District property.
