LACE MeetIna Monday.

] A6aG RNGEhAfd NOAtAdJH
By vote Of the village at its annual
meeting, held May 1, the board of trustees
/ was instructed TO obtain proposals for a
sewerage system in Randolph from two or
more parties. each submitting an estimate
I OF cost, or specification OF the price al
which he would undertake the consiruc-
I tion of the sewer and drainage system re-
quired for the whole village.
The trustees have obtained such esti.
mates from three parties and, for pur-
poses Of uniformity, these proposals,
which were different in form, have been
I reduced to the same basis, as nearly as
/ possible, viz. For the whole work, in-
GLIDING all materials except frames and
covers for the manholes and the apparatus
/ for flushing.
The conformation Of the ground surfac,.
will naturally divide the system i1to sec~
/ tions with different points Of outfall aud

The trustees have received three pros
posals for the work, including the
trenching, back-f fllinR, pipe, laying 81
the same, earning away OF surplus dirt
and restoration OF streets TO their noyulat
condition. One contractor asks tor Sia.~
$40, another for si9,3si, and third ior
s25. 1853.
should the entire system seem to c4il
for too great an expenditure at this tune,
the trustees will ask the village TO CO.
struet that one OF the nine lines most
needed, which Is undoubtedly Line !
The contractors' proposals for that line
alone are 1874, si0,6is and .il,i0i.
The trustees think the required sora
could be raised by a series OF notes, or
bonds, bearing interest at the lowest
rate obtainable and issued m denominR-
tions OF $1,000 each. one OF them TO mature
each year until all are paid with interest
semi annually.
The different phases of the sewer ques~
tion outlined IN the foregoing will be
presented TO the voters at the special wis
lage meeting next Monday evening IN
the High school building.
