She noted that <br /> Mr. Noonan who resides at 1414 Fox has a sewer line with four breaks and is <br /> unable to pay the $1,000 deductible presently required which would mean <br /> an additional $84.00 per month pursuant to a promissory note. <br /> Mr. Vance was then called upon to give a review of the sewer repair <br /> fund (copy attahced) . He noted that normally a licensed plumber is already <br /> on the job when the City gets involved.
