The sewer easements which shall be taken by the City at the lo-
cations hereinafter described shall include the continuing right of the City,
its contractors, agents and employees to enter upon the premises' described in
the respective parcels hereinafter set forth, and to construct and forever
maintain therein and thereon sanitary sewers and usual appurtenances, in-
cluding manholes, and to forever use said sewers for the drainage of sewage;
and shall, further, include the right: (a) to excavate the soil for the
purpose of constructing, repairing or reconstructing said sewers; (b) to
remove shrubs, trees and surface plants, fences and other structures on or
in the soil; (c) to maintain sufficient soil above the sewers to prevent
freezing of liquids therein, and (d) the right to enter upon said premises
at all reasonable times to inspect, repair and reconstruct said sewers.
The construction easements which shall be taken by the City at the
locations hereinafter described shall include the right of the City, its
contractors, agents and employees to enter upon said premises prior to
October 1, 1958, in connection with construction of sewers on and in the
parcels taken as sewer easements for the purpose of facilitating construction

It is a condition to the said easements taken herein that the City

from and shall restore the surface to a neat condition and in, as nearly as
practicable, the same condition in which it was found at the time the excava-
tion for sewer construction, repait or reconstruction was commenced; the failure,
however, of the City to restore the surface condition as herein stipulated
shall in no way affect the validity of the easement so taken, but the sole
remedy of the property owner in question shall be an action against the City
for damages.
The street easements hereinafter described are taken by the City as
