BIDS FOR BRUNsWICK's SEWERS.
There was also apother delegation of
visitors at Brunswick today, for spec
ial purpose They were business men
who had come to look over the situation
preparatory to making bids for the sew
ers that are to be1feceived todayHby the
town. A sum of $40, 900 has been appro-
priated for these new sewers, that will
be put into all the streets in the busi-
ness section of the town. There will be
about five and one-half miles of it. 1t
is estimated that it will cost $1OO, 900 = to
put sewers throughout the entire town.
The contractors who were in Brunswick
yesterday were E. r. Cheney, o. A. Trum-
bull, Lucian A. Taylor, George f. Green
law, J.J. Cronin and. James D. Fallon of
Boston and A.W. Bryne of Medford.
They say that the chief difficulty to be
encountered will be the quicksands and
water that underlies the town. This
will render the digging of the trenches
almost as expensivesas if there was a
ledge under the town. The sewer will
enter the river at least a mile below the
town. There is SO much water in the
sandy soil here that it is within two feet
of the surface in some of the wells.
The Portland Athletic Club was also
represented here today, the Bowdoin
boys defeating, it's ball team II to 0.
