Sec- 2 The proceedings relative to the construction of said sanitary sewers have been in accordance with an ordinance entitled,. "An Ordinance relative to sewers and proceedings for the constriction of ;( .'y.=?tem of lateral and connecting sewers in the City of Ann Arbor, passed May 24, 1894; approved May 23, lRr4; amended Jan. 3, 1899; amended Aug. 17, 1903; amended March 12, 1906; amend­ed Mar. 18, 1907; in all respects except as herein otherwise provid­ed and expressed.
