Mayor Dunne explajned the installation of the main line would be paid for out of funds appropriated by the San D:'ego Gas & Electric Co., and the cost of the connection
from the main'line to the property would be paid by the property owners. Mr. Maerkle further stated in his opinion this work should have been done at the time the street lighting was installed, and there were certainly other areas in the city that would benefit more than this area. Mr. Harry Truax spoke from the audience and stated.the majority of the cost would be born by the San Diego Gas & Electric co.

Cmn. McComas .asked if this proposed district would expand in the future or would there be another dis- trict formed? Cmn. Jardine stated the committee does have plans for other districts; however, it takes two y'ears to accumulate sufficient funds for
a district such as the one proposed. Inquiry v!as made as to whether these funds could be used for any area in the city. Mr. Jim Deb!eese informed the Council the funds that are appropriated could only be used for those areas that meet th2 criteria set by the Public Utilities Commission.
