COMPANY VI 4 HIS OltY
The bids for the construction OF Will
minston's proposed new water system
that were opened yesterday afternoon at
the regular meeting OF the Board OF
Water Commissioners were tabulated this
morning. There We're so many OF them
that it took nearly two hours to open the
lot and the figures, so numerous and CONS
plcated that IL required the services OF
two clerks all OF yesterday afternoon and
this morning to tabulate only the regular
bids.
The alternate bids have not as yet been
tabulated and an analysis OF them may
change a few of the low bidders. Chief
Engineer Theodore Leisen Of the depart
ment says that when this analysis is made
the total cost Of the plant will be brought
down 20 SSo00oO. AT present the estimate
of the entire cost taken from the lowest
bids IS ssl957i.

! ing the reservoir. filter and pumping sta
tion was presented by the Manufacturing
1 Contracting Co. a Wilmington concern.
It's bid was S4iif22. The highest bid for
the same work was presented by the
