� i � Where you draw the line is sometimes based`on judg:ement. For instance, when we were as'sessing water between Snelling and ' Hamline, we brought the water main up Hamline Avenue - where do we assess area? Well, it was relatively easy - we drew the line ; � right down the middle; assessed this half to Hamline and this i . hal f to Snel l i ng. (--,. ,I LEONARD GRUDPJOSKE, 4445 Mighway 10. I don't know if this �! pertains to any thing, but, you indicated some of this`would go on ' the general taxes, for everybody, That would be fine, but how i about Bethel College who continues to add to this problem, but '; doesn't pay taxes. In the first place, they run it down to ' Highway 10 when they shouldn't; -They were supposed to run it toward the freeway when they built: They are half the:problem : right now and they aren't going to pay anything for this - no tax. MAYOR WOODBURN:. I'm not sure which way they'ran it, or i whether it made much of a problem, did it, Don?' increased the _ i probTem? : : MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: I'm not sure either. I recall there was some switching; that was before my time: I don't recall.. A11 that happened somewhere in the early '70's. I believe the plan for the south area was planned to include the Qethel area. � I don't know whether or not it has been assessed for sewer in the past.

We're talking abowt an 18°:alone to New 6righton; so,<that gives you i an idea of what the filow is, and the problem we have. tf we �, - were to rebuild to the south, we'd have to start out with an 1' 18" and ga parallel and carry it a11 the way to the .south, through � , the ]ift stations. �� : :' � - JEANNE WINIECKI: Is this really the result of poor planning? : �' � � � � � � � � � � � � � '� MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: I don't know how it would be poor - � planning. Council had good serious negotiations in`the past and ; they apparently fell through.
