Disposal System Bonds (Livonia 6ection) in the aggregate principal amount of
$700,000.00, which said bonds were secured and payable primarily by contract
payments pledged by the CITY, and secondarily by the obligation of the ( ounty of

WHEREAS, because of the tremendous growth and development of the area in
the County of Wayne located in the CITY for industrialscommercial and residential
purposes, an imperative need has existed and does now exist for further sanitary
sewers in order to provide for the disposal of sewage from said developing area.

transport sewage from such area after development and building up of such area, the
Page 6150
State Department of Health had heretofore refused to issue permits for the con-
struction of sewers in said area, and the growth and development of the area has
heretofore been arrested and stopped by reason thereof; and

the area in Wayne County, including the CITY, known as the Rouge Valley District,

bonds presently being $$16,815,000.00 maturing over a period of forty (40) years,
from 1966 to 2001, inclusive; and
WHEREAS, to utilize the capacity in the interceptors of the Rouge Valley
District so purchased by the CITY, and to provide for and protect the public health,
it is vitally necessary that additional sewers be immediately constructed so as to
service the developing areas of the CITY,the State Department of Health having now
removed the ban on construction of additional sewers in said area by reason of pro-
vision being made for the financing and construction of the new interceptors in the
Rouge Valley District; and
