The City of Wilmington, in ac-
ton approved yesterday morning
by the City council, is taking over
from the federal government, for
completion of construction of the
Kings Bluff pipeline, the original
contract which the government
made with Price Brothers for this
purpose.
The construction of the line will

Thus, from this time on, the
city will stand in the place of
the government and will serve as
the contracting party, with Price
Brothers, for the completion OF
the line.
The contract under the govern
ment has already netted Price
Brothers $4,000 in earnings, it
was shown. The government has
paid $62O,OO0 and 10 per cent of
the contract has been reserved I'M
til completion and acceptance.
In accordance with the plan for
the city's financial participation
in the project, approved by NUM-
cipal vote, additional bonds must
be issued and sold by the city at
an early date. The council order
