The meeting, far the particular purpose of discussing
sanitary seaage problems existing in the VZ1lage of Edirza,
mas attended by a gaadly number of residents and property owners, the majority living in rural Edina. President Sharpe advised that the matter of issuing PiXIage of Edina
general obligation bonds to finance the ViIlage portion
of a large intercepting sanitary sewer had failed of passage

mo. 1".

vhen all of such costs were born wholly and only by property
lacated within "Joint Sewer District No, 1" that no further
or additional cost for sanitary sewers of any kind in other
\ areas or portions of the Village of Edina could be made /- against property located in "Joint Sewer District 330, 1.').
