?Jh~J, eas the City of South S~ Francisco is a municipal corpor-
ation inco~orated under the laws of the State of California, and the
legislative branch of said City of Soath San Francisco is designated as
the Board of Trustees of the City of South S~ Francisco and consists
of five members and the P~esident of said Board of Trustees is the
chief execative of said manicipality; and
Whereas the legislative br~nch of said City of South S~ Fran-
cisco, Cowry of S~ ~ateo, State of California, to-wit: the Board of
Trustees of the City of South S~ Francisco did, on the 7th day of I~ay,
1923, bY an affirmative vote of more t~ two-thirds of its men, ers to-
wit: the five me~ubers of said legislative brach, determine in due and
proper form by resolution that public interest and necessity dem~d the
acquisition, construction and completion of certain municipal improve-
ments in and for said City of South S~u Francisco, to-~Jit:
-1-
The acquisition, construction and completion of a system of servers
in San Bruno Road from Chapman Aven~e to the north boundary line of said

of the necessary rights of wa~ for said outfall sewer, a~d also a sys-
tem oT sewers in that portion of sa~d City of South San Fz~ancisco lying

nue of s~id City of South San Francisco, and will, in addition to the

come and revenue provided for any one year; and

and
'~hereas the prsssnt indebtedness already incurred for improvements
