Councilman Hints said when the Metropolitan Sewer Board takes over RIS: METROPOLITAN
the systaw it becomes an obligation of the village to decide on ShWER BOARD FUND
whether or not we shall tax on the basis of availability of the act-
ual use of the seer pipe which means that not everyone will be
assessed for the pipe. In the by-laws of the Metropolitan Sewer Board
there are areas in Plymouth that u:ill not be assessed fortbbe pipe.
Mayor HilAe said this should be si:udied. Attorney Lefler and Engineer
Bonestroo were asked to study provisions of the Metropolitan Sewer
Boaru and coma back to Council February 23rd with an alternate plan
for financing this project.
