Insofar as the water system is concerned, he .stated that the subdivider would assume the cost of the system in the subdivision. In regard to the obligation of assuming• general obligation bonds outstanding in the city, he stated that if the Council desired, the subdivider would be willing to enter into an agreement with the city to absorb his share as far as the legal aspects are concerned and as far as it would beliable if the subdivision were in the city limits at the present time; in other words, the subdivision would assume bonded indebtedness in the proportion which the law requires it to assume, He advised that the ordinance approving the annexation could be introduced subject to the condition that this agreement would be in the hands of -the Council by the meeting of June 16th, at which time the ordinance comes up for final adoption.
