<br />amount assessed against an apartment complex on Rosemary Lane. Mr.
<br />David Wells, Manager, Bureau of Design and Administration, explained
<br />that it was necessary to install a lift station at the time that
<br />sewer was installed and because the lift station will be used by
<br />other areas as well, it was determined that the City would pay the
<br />p share it did. Mr. Wells said, prior to this Administration, the
<br />C,O cost of sewer construction was assessed 100% against the property.
<br />cT owners. Mr. McMullin, 1814 Oak Park Drive, called the attention of
