return to cover the costs of financing, constructing, operating
and maintaining the said improved facilities, and in the event
that thereafter such rates are not agreed upon by the parties
or are not otherwise provided for by contract, such rates shall
be fixed and determined by the Circuit Court of Cook County
upon petition filed therein; provided that the right of any
