statement under Yeager Street, Unit III, which pro-

at a later date by constructing a line on each side
of the pavement between the curb line and the prop-

street. Council requested the staff to explore the
possibilities of adopting an ordinance similar to
developers ' contracts in order that the sewer could
be put in now in this area, and thus eliminate the
double line or street cut necessary if the sewer
were put in at a later date.
