The minutes of the regular meeting held on April 14, 1954 and the

A public hearing was held on the sanitary sewer improvement proposed
for Ryden Second Addition. It appeared that the engineers had determined
that it was advisable to use Penn Avenue instead of Oliver Avenue for one of
the sewer mains and said Penn Avenue not having been included in the initial

hearing published. Thereupon member Wayne Gageby introduced the following
resolution and moved its adoption:
