The Mayor then publicly asked if anyone desired to make any objection, suggestion or comment, or raise any questions, concerning said District. Mr. Robert E. Jones, property owner in the area appeared and stated that the property owners did not object to the installation of the sewer in Bonanza Village, but wondered why it could not be placed in the alleys instead of the streets. George E. Wade, City Engineer, explained that the reason for this was that they had been unsuccessful in obtaining rights-of-way for alleys in this district. Mr. John L. Seymour also raised the same question. Commissioner Whipple moved the hearing on the creation of this district be continued until February 1, 1956 to see if the rights-of-way for the alleys can be secured and sewers installed in the same.
