Owosso citizens who intend to do an
work about their premises better get il
out of the way at an early day as it will
be impossible to get laborers after work
is commenced on the paving and the
construction Of the several sewers or.
dered by the council. 1t will be necc
essary for the contractors to bring &c
the city large number of men if the
work planned is done this season. And
Y then, there are other things in prospect
for Owosso which will call for many
skilled as well as unskilled laborers.
One of the bidders for the paving
contract whose price was considerably
above some of the others said to THr
TIMES that no one need be afraid OF
the Champion brick as it was being
made this year, that a contractor
would be perfectly safe in giving 6
twenty year guarantee on this brick
when used on a residence street. AS 8
word of caution he added that every
citizen residing on the streets to bt
paved should make it his personal bust
ness to see that nothing but SOUND
brick were used and that the other con
ditions of the contract were complied
with, not to leave the entire oversight
