No Work Until Next Spring.
Although they have voted to issue
bonds in the sum of S65000 to install
a sewerage system and to extend the

spring, it is stated there. The public
works commission of the town which
is composed of DR.. r.. l.. Wylie, w. r
Smith and Capt. w. I. BriSon are now
engaged with the towns attorney in
preparing the necessary notices adver-
tising the bonds for sale. Due to the
fact that much preliminary work is
necessary to be done, the commission
ers say that it will probably be some
time next spring before the contract is
awarded and the laying of the sewer
lines is begun.
