At a Regular sleeting of the Board of Commissioners held in the Commission

be granted subject to the terms and conditions of said petition. Adopted on call

distance of approximately 500 feet, all of which property is presently vacant and said
owner desires that an extension of the existing water main be made so as to provide
water service to the property above referred to.
It appears from the endorsement by the Board of Commissioners of :Water Works
that the applicant has complied with all rules and regulations of the said Paducah
'later "forks as approved by the Board of Commissioners of the City of Paducah. I
therefore move that the application of said Cornell Development Company be accepted

issioners of Paducah "later "Works be authorized to lay a 6" main along Virginia Street
from South 29th Street to 30th Street, a distance of approximately 500 feet.
I further move that the adoption of this resolution and the granting of the
request contained in said application be considered as an agreement on the part of the
City of Paducah to pay the fire hydrant and water main rental, as provided in the fran-
chise on the pipe lines referred to in the petition and in this motion. Said rental to
belrin ,men;aid .rater main has been laid and water provided for on the street above
