COIiTRACT FOB BIG SEWER JYSTENI LET Reeveston Improvement to Cost $21,523 Other Bids Received.

The eontract for the construction o! the Reeveston sewer system was awarded F. E. Slick this morning by the board of' works at a cost of $21,623.47 which Is $3,155 less than was estimated. This is the biggest sewer contract let this year. It calls for a trunk sewer and lateral branches draining almost 40 acres of ground. The bidding for this contract was spirited. Although Slick received the contract, one other bid was lower than the one presented by Slick, by $800. This bid, however, contained a proviso by which the city would be forced to pay three dollars for every cubic foot of rock that is struck in the excavating. The bid was rejected on the grounds that this proviso might cost the city a large amount of money. The owners of the Reeveston place agreed to the board of works January 27 that they would pay all above the city's share for the cost of the installation of the sewer system and at its completion would make some of the streets on which some of the lot owners wish to build. It is not expected that the city's share of the improvement will be $5,000 although that amount was appropriated for the purpose. Although several bids were present ed this morning for the construction i of the sewer between Crosshall and Oreen streets in Fairview, no contracts were let as .resident property owners have filed a petition to change the route of the sewer. The petition was granted and after the new plans re made the city will re-advertise for the bids. Residents of South Seventeenth street petitioned the board of works for a macadam roadway from Main Btreet to South A street. The 23 petitioners allege that .when they installed cement curb and gutters four years ago the city agreed to make a macadam roadway. The board of works approved the petition and Btreet Commissioner Oenn was ordered to start on the work as soon as possible. DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT. Some say that chronic constipation cannot be cured.

Provisions In the incorporation papers made necessary the selection of officers from the board of directors. Willitta A.

His nomination was then withdrawn and Mr. Bobbs was elected unanimously. Snowden Wins Place. Owing to the fact that the first vice president will be expected to take a

heavy part in the club activities, it . was pointed out that he should be an Indianapolis resident, so as to be sub-, j ject to Immediate call.
