Thousand dollars (S6O00.0N). They have had de-
tailed estimates prepared OF the cost OF the pro-
posed improvements anu find that the cost Will
ne considerably greater than estimated, and that
the II yesttnent will be nearer forty thousand
dollars (sl00OO.00) than thtsty thousand $780,
0000O. While building material Is advancing
and the season for profitable building Is passing
by In view OF the above facts, the directors OF

their offer made TO the council by accepting u
less sum than eight thousand dollars (Ss00000)

cline TO accept the sum voted and will not under
