$500 a Year After Nov, |,
Commissioners Vote.

Charles II. Hurd. consulting en-
gineer for the sanitary board in con-
struction of the sewage Disposal plant
at Sellers Farm. today proposed that
his own salary be cut in half. The
board followed the recommendation.
Hurd wrote the board that he be-
ueved construction will have progressed
to the point where his full services
would not be needed by Nov. Is. and
that after that he give from 80 TO 100
per cent of his time and receive $500
a year salary instead OF $4,000. His
contract calls for $4,000 a year until
four months after the plant is com
pleted.
The plant will be completed by
June l. within original contract price
of 2436, 900, Hurd believes.
The board termed Hurd's offer
very generous and a splendid ex-
ample of civic spirit"
The plant, which has many features
not found elsewhere. is almost wholly
the product of Hurds engineering
genius.
