3/27/72 ment, we asked for cancellation of the bill. The Metro sewer Board rescinded the 1971 bill in the amount of some 625,000 as well as the deferred amount of some x58,000 for a total of 584,584.36 which was cancelled out and will not be liable to us. Mr. Marier stated that on April 5th we are meeting with the Metro Sewer Board and the Metro Council for the 1972 allocation which is about $50,000. They had had no feasibility plan as such; no money has been laid out for this. Mr. Marier had said that Lino Lakes would not get sewer and it looks like We won't. The Federal Govt. has dropped 511,000,000 from the Metro Sewer Board funds. It is a complex thing to decide where development will be. We will know more after the April 5th meeting.

He felt we should review this before it goes out. Mrs. Swanson stated that we are the third highest tax levy in the State. Glenn Rehbein commented that if we try higher we can be Number 1.
