New bids on the storm sewer to be
i laid in the east end will be asked
| Immediately by the selectmen, First
Selectman John ]. kimmel said to-
day. The route of the proposed
sewer has been changed, and the
| pipes will be laid across the school
property between East and Linden
streets instead of using the passway
near the Callen property. The new
route is expected TO be considerably
! more economical.
The original bids were opened
some weeks ago, Antonio Di Marco
Being low bidder, but the award Of
the contract was held up at the re-
| quest OF the town plan commission.
| An alternative route was suggested
when 1t was found that the playing
of the pipes along the passway
might force the payment of prohibi-
| tive prices for land. The new route
will be north of the high school and
| south of the Linden street building
on property already owned by the
town, and saving is anticipated by
town officials.
| The pipe for the sewer has arrived
and is being transported to the To-
cation.
