CITY TO DICTATE The BOND
Company's Officials Declare They are
Ready to Begin Work in the Next
Fifteen Days and the Contract Will
be Signed Saturday.

The street assessment committee Of
the common council has formally no
titled the officials of the Cleary, White,
Newman company Of Chicago, that its
bid for the construction of the new
trunk sewer has been accepted by the
common council and under the terms
of the bid the work on the sewer must
be commenced within the next fifteen
days. Officials of the successful COM
pany were in Kenosha today and con-
ferred with City Attorney Stewart in
regard to the contract and bond and
it is declared that the company will
be ready to furnish the bond in the
sum of $4,000 just as soon as the
contract is ready for the signature of
the company. Mayor Scholey has gone
to Madison and he will not return to
Kenosha until the latter part of the
week and it is expected that the con-
tract will be ready for his signature
and the bond approved at that time.
The White company has announced its
willingness to furnish any sort of a
bond demanded by the city and it is
probable that the street assessment
committee will ask for Surety com
pany bond furnished by some company
which is approved to furnish these
bonds in Kenosha and other cities in
the state. 1t is thought that such a
bond would be more satisfactory than
any personal bond to be furnished by
the company.
The successful bidders for the con
tract have lost no time in getting
ready to carry out their part Of the
contract and to this end the materials
for the big sewer are already ordered
and they will begin to arrive in Ke-
nosha within few days.
Mr.. Newman, the sewer expert of
the company, is claimed to be one of
ing of sewers in the middle west and
he will give his personal attention to
the work in Kenosha. The company
will have the most improved machinery
for the work and it is thought pos
sible that the work can be rushed so
as to insure the completion of the en-
tire sewer before the end of the pres
ent year. 1t is certain that the work
will be well under way by June first,
the time set in the releases made by
the property owners, and it is probable
that large amount of the ninety-nine
inch sewer will be completed by the
first Of September. It is possible that
cold weather will interfere with the
closing up of the work this year.
Members Of the council have dis
cussed the matter Of securing the
money needed for the completion of
the project and as the amount will be
only slightly in excess of $4,000 it is
thought that the council will be able
to get this money advanced until the
time of the next tax levy when a gen
eral reduction of sewer appropriations
will make it possible to pay for the
big sewer on it's completion.
the city have a double inspection of
the sewer and that another inspector
be employed to aid Thomas Hoban.
Mr.. Hoban lis to have charge of the
constructions work of the sewer and it
is now thought wise that another man
be employed to watch the mixing of
the concrete. The city engineer be-
lieves that it will be wise for the city
to have two men .aon the work and
with the size of the project it is not
probable that the council will refuse
any reasonable request along this
line.
The action of the council in closing
up the contract for the big sewer
seems to give universal satisfaction in
the city. -
