These being in the worst condition according to Mr. Green. While it is impossible to cover the whole distribution system I have tried to get as much as possible for the money to be spent. It was also decided to repair and reline Reservoir #1 and to renew the connection between the two reservoirs. The Plan is outlined as followas (1) From Water Street to the Reservoir on Adams, Jefferson, Taylor, Cosgrove and Quincy Streets.

To build concrete man- holes for Valves in the proposed paving districts. The only difference in doing the work by manual labor would be in excavating the trench and would amount to about 20% more --probably $400 or $600.00 depending on the prices bid. However, I would suggest that when calling for bide that a call be made for alternate bide on machine and hand digging. The estimated cost of this work is $35,158.69. The contract should be around $32,996.31. Should it be decided to go ahead with the work on these lines and let same by contract it will be necessary for me to draw up form of 'Contract", "Notice to Contractors".
