A special meeting Of the village

the purpose Of listening to the final

Owing to the change in location,
which was made after the contract had

has been great deal of extra work

bills have been before the council

thought to be too high.
The contract price was cleaned mp at

to the regular meeting next week in
order to allow Mr.. Dunigan to entirely
complete his work.
