alternatives: 1. Connection through 14inneapolis, along Elinnehaha Creek. 2.

alternatives uJiu. be much more expensive %ban the presently contemplated

IEndhorst presented rough draft of an agreement for the two municipalities,
stating that he has not had sufficient time to examine thorougUy, that he ill
send copies out for Council perusal at a later date. Objections were raised as
,%o the maintenance basis contemplated, inasmuch as Edina will not reach its
capacity for several years. -Jizanager Xitchell explained that maintenance
problems are more acute 3n the early years, .before capacity is reached, because
of flat grade of main, allowing sewage to settle. Nr. Art Stringer explained
to %ouncil the needs of people in his neighborhood for sewer.
