Navy sources said the teit firing Residents of the annexed areas are blocking extension of Hewers because they are reluctant to give the city rights-of-way for pipe across their property, Karl B. Stalllngs, city public works director, said yesterday. He said this is one of the big reasons the sewer program has been delayed. Ground was broken for the first phase of the trunk sewer program yesterday, two years after City Council passed annexation ever Mayor Ben West's veto and more than a year after the state Supreme Court upheld annexation.

Stalllngs was asked when the trunk sewers would be completed and when the annexed firest would be substantially sewered. He said he did not know because, of such "indeterminate factors" as the difficulty the citv has had in obtaining rights-of-way from residents. THE FIRST project, the million Richland Creek sewer, must be completed within 150 working days, he said. Stalllngs said the attitude of residents Is utrange. Sunday was a starkly real exercise.

The contractor, he emphasized, is required to restore areas excavated to the condition they were in prior to installation of the sewer. Stalling said that, generally, trunks must be built, then branch trunks, and then lateral lines to serve property owners. He said work is novv under way to obtain rights-of-way for the Sugartree and Brown's Creek sewers. "We lack two for the Brown's Creek sewer and four on the Sngartrea project," he said.
