Stueber, giving the law under wl@ch assessmerzt is-peing mads. I&+ Soderberg,

benefited are not included in sewer district. Eriuch discussion was had, with

and they will never have use for lateral sewers if and when they are con-
structed: Dr,. Paul Carson, Route #I, Hopkins; &, Larson, Hamon Rd. and
