The report Saturday morning of the do
ings of the city government Friday even
ing, was slightly misleading though no,
altogether incorrect In referring toJthe
reports of the experts Mr.. Hazen and Mr.
Warren, it would seem that the estimated
cost OF the sewer was about the same fig
ures as it stated that Mr.. Hazens' esti
mate was $1,000 and Mr.. Warren's $407O
AS matter Of fact, Mr.. Hazens' estimate
was on the cost of the pipe all laid from
the junction Of Hayden brook and the
Messalonskee to Rock island, while the
estimate of Mr.. Warren was for the pipe
from West Winter street to Rock island,
apparently without the laying. 1t will
thus be seen that though the figures of
cost were about the same, they were dis
tinctly different Jobs of work.
