thereby making it virtually i iposstble for abutting property owners to
utilize such sewage disposal system; and

overs and $34,000.00 to cover the cost of installing cross-overs for 114.0
existing buildings,and the Council having determined that the installa-
tion of sanitary sewer cross-overs should properly have been included in

system would be available for servicing abutting properties and would
