CALL FOR BIDS
ON NEW SEWER
DECIDED BY COMMISSION TO
RUN SEWERS IN STREETS
INSTEAD OF ALLEYS

At Mondays meeting of the board
of city commissioners the matter of
advertising for bids for construc-
tion of a sewer system about the
city was brought up and the city at
torney authorized to take the neces-
sary steps to that end.
The bids call for the sewer sys-
TEN to run through the streets of
the city instead of the alleys, and
to follow the plans and specfica-
tions now in the hands of the city
engineer.
1t is now very likely that the act
ual work of putting in a sewer sys-
TEN throughout the entire city will
be commenced this summer.
1t was found that running the sew
ers through the alleys while favored
by every member Of the board would
be $4,000 more than by running it
through the streets, and inasumch
as there are no improved streets
here yet, and as the water main
and part of the sewer are already
in the streets, it was decided to &c
ahead with this plan.
