dress plainly with ink, being sure TO
place your return address on upper

SEWER WORK BEING EXTENDED
UP CONGRESS STREET.

The Sanitary Sewer, which is now
being put down in Charles Town by
Messrs. Lyon & Lyon. contractors,
of Baltimore, is being extended up
Congress street between Lawrence
and Charles streets. Although this
part was not laid out in the original
contract, the contract calls for the
laying of sanitary sewer on any
streets to connect with the main sew
ers. at cost of about one dollar and
fifty cents per foot, to be paid by
the property owners on each side of
the street, which would only cost an
owner of property about seventy
five cents for each front foot of
property owned by him on the block
where the sewer ran. This is very
small cost, and it is hoped that all
property owners adjacent to or in
reasonable distance of the main sew
er line, will take advantage of it and
have the sewer in front of their
property now. as it will cost much
more after the present agreement
with the contractors expires.
