Sewer Assessment District No. 2 - cont'd. I, 1 Councilman Aiken stated "I must take exception to parts of your statement (the Mayor's) regarding the Council's past actions and positions on sewers. The Council, on several occasions, has definitely led people to believe the entire Town would be sewered--once by your own statement. I think the Council should face up to this fact, and not try to side step it." Councilman Davey stated, "By no formal resolution has the Town Council ever stated a policy to sewer the entire Town." In answer to Councilmen Davey's statement, Councilman Aiken said, "We have not passed a formal resolution --but on various occasions have let it be known how we feel. I now feel I was 'conned' into my .position on sewers --I went along with sales -talk, but now feel the facts are such that everyone will not inevitably need sewers." The Mayor closed the discussion, stating he would recognize further -comments from the Floor during PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR'. 2. Chapin-Robleda Intersection - Review of Plans by City Engineer.
