Trunk sewer frem the Sewage Treatment Plant to the east of Brown Addition through the Macgill Estate to Newbern Road at Allison Lane. 2. A section of Peppers Ferry Road in the vicinity of Walnut Aver: 3. Along both sides of old Route 11 to Alum Spring Road. 4. An extension of the Longview Court sewer line from its present terminus to a point opposite 13th Street to serve that area inside the corporate limits which lies to the west of Randolph: Avenue. 5• West of Commerce Street from about the Pigment Plant to Kersey and Lottier Bottom areas, there bei;;g the possibility of a pumping station in this area. 6. Engineering work along Route 11 in the Windsor Circle to determine whether that sewage should be carried westward on Route 11, or to the south to connect to the Macgill Estate ' trunk line, through the Allison property, the latter project being at this time an engineering study and not necessarily to be proposed for construction by contract, the recotmnenda- tion to be made after the engineering work is catnpleted.

Carper, it was unanimously RESOLVED that Council accept the recoimnendations as outlined by the Town Manager relative to contracting a portion of the constructi~h work in connection with the Sewer Project.

Carper, and carried on the unanimous vote of those present, that it be RESOLVED, that Cown Council consider at this meeting the question of the water system emergency as it affected the nine families, <' ti r~ Council minutes cont•d Jan. 28, 1958, 4 p. m. There followed a full discussion of this situation in which it developed that since the Town is required to furnish water service to the annexed area within five years, it would be logical i.n view of the emergency for the Town to attempt to work out the immediate connection of these nine houses to the Townes water system. The. pump which would be abandoned after connection of the houses to the Town system, REQt1ES"' being about 600 feet from an existing town main. On motion made by ~~Cr. W. H. Wysor, seconded by I. R.
