tinued to allow time to investigate the questions regarding the
sphere of influence and the rates involved.
Trustee Shirley stated that he has had several discussions with
Benjamin and Lang, and that a great deal of study and review of
the present rate structure was undertaken. He then stated that
rate adjustment is not necessary at this time, and it was his rec-
ommendation the study of rates be undertaken after the special
census and the first full year audit of the combined waterworks
and sewage system are completed. He stated that the $4 .25 re-
ferred to in the agreement has to do with the amount paid to Lake
County to service the Lake County area for sewage treatment and
includes an amount that will be rebated to the Village for retire-
ment of the original purchase and construction cost of the Lake
County sewage plant and that this amount is acceptable. He stated
that the rate adjustment can be on the agenda in August or Septem-
ber and should be done periodically. A lengthy discussion followed.

will inspect all new connections at County expense" .
