refiewed for the Council the presently proposed plan for vraker service in Stow*s

benefited property,
- 2. .All. of the wate&ns' constructed in this project T.rill be in the

water utility; this being a perpetud. franchise, with option for Village to
purchase well, and containing adequate safeguard to Village as to rates and
an agreement that it rdll be I&, Stowrs responsibility to maintain water
service, read meters, bill and collect for such service,
4. Ihen the Village advertises for bids for Tlatermain contrack, bidns shall
contain a 30-day award clause, in order that bonds may be issued before
contract is awarded.

complete unit.
'

Stow well, it might be necessarv to hold a general election to validate this
purchase. Village EngLnezr lJitcheXk reminded Council that it is absolutely
necessary to have the well. in operation before the mains can be tested. Further
