He <br />believed that having County water would save him the money he now spends in chemicals to maintain <br />his well water. He expects to continue to use the well water for his yard, but will use city (sic) water <br />for inside his home. <br />Irene Rossmell, 344 13d' Place SW, Dixie Heights, brought with her two preliminary <br />assessment letters each with a different assessment amount (1995 = $795.30 and 2000 = $1,303.00). <br />She asked for an explanation. <br />James D.

There is about an $8,000 assessment on that part of his property and he did not want to have <br />to pay for that. <br />Phil Hite, lives in Indian River Aerodrome, but has a small investment in Dixie Heights with <br />May 16, 2000 <br />30 <br />
