Annexation Committee - Water service to William Buck's trailer, which
Is being served by a line from a residence outside the Citv limits:
The committee does not recommend annexation of this property at this
time. Service to a trailer, which is on property awned by Mr. Buck and
Is being served from a line from the house, violates our principal of serv-
ing an additional customer outside the City with city water. We feel that
to discontinue water service at this time, however, is not justified and
therefore, recommend a 4-month extension of the existing situation, at
which time water service to the trailer will be discontinued.

by Councilman Turner and carried.
