BID ON SEWAGE PLANT This being the time for the award of the bid for the construction of the proposed Sewage CONSTRUCTION Treatment Plant, His Honor Mayor Cragin explained that since the voters had voted a Bond Issue of $350,000.00 and the lowest bid made was no where near that amount, the bid can­not be awarded at this time. The Board will take a period of time for consideration and attempt to negotiate with the Government for the purchase of the existing Sewage Plant in the hope that there will be sufficient money left to make up for the deficiency for the construction of the new plant. Since there is a thirty day period of grace allowed, some sort of action will be taken within this time. Since the two low bidders were Fitzgerald Construction Company and Hoagland-Findlay Company, all other bids were rejected and the City Clerk instructed to return the bid bonds of these firms.
