cently platted properties will be that of the owners of the abutting property to be served
by such mains.

of being able to serve areas beyond the area then being supplied and the City Council requires
such mains be installed in excess of six inches, then in such an event it will be the respon-
~ibility of the city to contribute the cost of installation expended over and above the ordinary
average cost of a six inch nain and fire hydrants.
