The request made for the extension of sewer to the Preston property on Preston Heights, referred at your last meeting to the Water and
Sewer Committee, has been gone over by them, and they respectfully beg to report that since the cost of this work will be approximately $1000. and the additional water consumption made necessary by this improvement will be so small that it will not pay 6% on the investment, therefore the committee does not feel justified in recommending this expenditure which will be divergence from the policy of making the additional revenue pay interest on the investment.
Respectfully submitted,
