PAYING AND SEWERING.
Dean aud Hoffman Get Sewer
ing Contract.

Two Other Bidders Progress Being
Made In Paying-New Contract on
Brown Addition eechurst Ready
for Brick.
Contracts for several hundred yards
of new sewerage in the various wards
of town was let to Dean and Hoff-
man Co., Thursday, at an average OF
about 30 cents per liueal foot for
sewer laid through earth, four feet
deep. Where the ditch has to be cut
through stone, $3.50 per cubic yard
is to be paid for removing the
stone.
The prices for various sizes OF
sewer range from rs cents per lineal
foot to 40 cents, according to size,
but as there is very little of the
large sewer pipe to be laid, the ay-
erage it is thought will be about 30
cents. Ten cents per foot addition
al is added, where second sewer Is
laid in the same ditch. There were
two other bids, one by Tony Pietro,
and one by Hess Brothers. On &C
count of the complicated manner in
which the bids were made, it took
the committee, Messers Wood, Nor
ris and Sisler good while to cal
culate which was the lowest. But q
calculation based upon the specifica-
tions showed the bid of Dean and
and Hoffman to be about $35 lower
than the next lowest.
Fifteen thousand dollars are set
aside for sewering in various parts
of the city and while this contract
does not call for near that much
work now the contractor is to do all
additional sewering under this APP
preparation at the same prices.
| Under this contract about two
miles of sewer is to be laid and Dean
and Hoffman will put it down in
hurry. All Kingwood street, Cobun
Ave. from Kingwood to Greene
street and all Greene street are to be
severed in second Ward.
Beeehurst Avenue between Fourth
and Eighth streets, 500 feet on sixth
street, Third avenue between Beech
rust and Beverley, 0verhill street
between Beverly and Jones Ave
nue., McLane Avenue south 150 feet
from Eighth street, and Jones Ave
nue. between Stewards and Overhill,
Stewards from Beverly to Jones Ave
nue.; from DIR. Whites property to
| Overhill street; Jones Avenue to Bey-
along alley between Waters and Van
deryort properties; and down Stew
art street, across to the road, and on
into the University campus to con-
meet with sewers Ghere, leading to
| the river.
All this additional sewerage will
make Impossible for many families to
connect with streets ewers, who have
been heretofore too far away to bear
the expense of laying a line to them.
I The paving on Beechurst has been
delayed by recent rains but the curb
is all set, and the paving is expectei
to be started Saturday and completed
by Tuesday. There has been some
delay in getting brick for the short
section of paving between the court
house and Hotel MADEIRA. Soon as
they are on hand the job will be
completed in very few days.
The Dean and Hoffman company
has also contracted to do a lot of
additional paving on the Brown prop
erty adjoining South Park. They
Will use concrete curb, which Mr..
Dean says is both better and cheap
er than stone. Anderson street is to
be paved to Morris and all of Nor
ris Avenue. This work is to be done
this year.
The Dean and Hoffman Company
is negotiating for the setting of 5000
additional feet of curb, but the con-
tract has not yet been let.
