an industrial firm had re
quested information as to rules and procedure established
forconnection to the lines of District No.1 in an area
in unincorporated territory within the District.
Mr.Nelson reported that data on procedure has been
compiled;that individual members of the Board of Distr
ict No.1 have expressed the opinion that connection to
the trunk lines should be through an assessment district
of some kind;and,as other districts will face the same
problem,he believed that standard rules sh’uld be
established for all districts insofar as possible.Mr.

to consider this problem for its District and the findings
