instead of installing the sanitary sewers in accordance with the terms and provisions
of his option to purchase lots from the City at a considerable discount for hie housing

cost is pl~ohibitive for his small building program, Commissioner Bishop moved that the
City grant him the privilege of installing septic tanks for serving the houses now under
construction.
