REFUSE MAINTENANCE BOND
Village Board Of Trustees at Outs with
Concrete Sidewalk Contractors

At the meeting of the village
board of trustees held Tuesday
evening the members of the board
decided that it would not be good
business policy to accept the three
year maintenance bond offered by
Donaldson & Wilson, the contrac-
tors who recently constructed the
concrete sidewalks on Main street
The board also decided that it
would not accept the walks until a
satisfactory maintenance bond
guaranteeing the walks to give sat
isfaction for three years, was pro-
duced. The bond offered by Don
aldson & Wilson named Henry
Fields and c. S. Moody of Sand
point, as bondsmen. The village
trustees decided that the bondsmen
could sell their real estate holdings
or transfer their property any time
during the next three years and SC
the city would have no security
whatever should the walks not
prove to be satisfactory. The
trustees will insist upon a security
bond or will ask to retain the town Z.
own bonds in surety.

scheme Of the movement he is gem
eral, rather than the one who does the
work
The organization provides for a
committee in each church for the OBJ
jects of the viewpoint programme. it
means that some men shall make q
special study of each Of these sub
jects and yet have an intelligent sym
pathy for the work of all. BY carry
ing out this method it is certain that
churches will become more intelli-
gent concerning the objects that
should challenge their attention. 1t
means multiplied activities because
of larger numbers engaged in work
and II also means a rounded out
church development.
In conclusion Mr.. Legg cited many
instances in which he had seen repre-
sentative men respond 10 the CHALLENGE
for service and emphasized that men
would respond not so much because
of what the churches do for them as
because what they c Iuld do FAR others
through the church.
