Woods asked for clarification of the city's policy ori the running of water lines to subdivi.sions and spoke in favor of the subdivider standing this ex- perise as subdivisions were� speculative and therefore the expense was the sub- clivider's risk. . � . . , . , . _ City Engineer Hill was asked for his views on the pipe situation. and spoke of the neeessity of NPA approval on the purchase of all pipe, and that he knew of one in'stance in which pipe had beeri available, but the price was higher than he felt justified.
