. To the Honorable City Council
City d Newport Beach
' Newport Beach, California
AttN; Mr. Webb, City Engineer
Gentlemen:
As Health Officer of the City of Newport Beach and of the County of Orange,
I hereby recommend that proceedings be instituted at once for the construction
of sanitary sewers in that portion of Newport Beach, known as Tract 444,
lots 40 to 59 inclusive, located on the bluff in Newport Heights.
This recommendation is made as a measure necessary for the protection of
Public Health and is also made pursuant to Section 2909 of the Streets and
Highways Codes of the State of California.
We have made an investigation of the sanitary conditions in this area of the
city and have found that residents ,'therein have been and are experiencing
difficulties with their individual sewage disposal systems.
The difficulties in this area are due to poor ground conditions generally
for disposal of sewage effluent by subsurface leaching systems.
Yours very truly,
(Signed)
Edw. Lee Russell, M.D.
Health Officer
Orange County
ELRakt

hereby finds and determines that the proposed improvement is
feasible and that the lands proposed to be assessed to pay the
costs and expenses thereof, in the opinion of said City Council,
are able to carry the burden of such proposed assessment.
