No attempt be made to include remote houses involving extensive construction of -lines across private property, leaving such construction the responsibility of the property owners.

A. J. Chewning of the engineering firm said, in a letter to the council, he feels the recommendations would be adequate to insure that the property could be brought within the funds available and the ability of the town to repay a loan for the project with revenue from the system. Chewing said, in the letter, "after a long discussion with the contractor, it became apparent that the one bid received by the town was not, in my opinion, a good bid." He said the contractor, in bidding on the treatment plant, allocated too much overhead and profit. The engineer said he feels use of precast concrete manholes, which the contractor says could save about $10,000, would be feasible.

Another $4,000 can be saved through using steel pumping stations, chewning said. He quoted the contractor as saying $10,000 had been added to the bid because of anticipated trouble with the sewer line on Rappahannock Street. Dillehay, Mrs. Grayson Fos By GENE PHILLIPS URBANNA The Urbanna Town Council will meet Monday night to consider recommendations by engineers for alternate steps toward a new sewer system for the town. The council received one bid last month for installing the system.

The bid, by Nice Brothers Inc. of Newport News, totaled $553,500, or 60 per cent above the expected cost. The firm of Chewning, Goodwin and Hoggard, engineers for the project, has recommended rejection of the bid and rebid-ding of the project in September or October, the engineers say it is expected that more bids would be received at that time since contractors should not be as busy as at present-Other recommendations are: Abandonment of the proposed location of a treatment plant to the west of the town with relocation at the site of the town's present septic tank. If the present site is utilized, with a small amount of additional land the town could provide a sewage treatment plant in two steps. The first step would be a 50,000 gallon per day plant, half the proposed design, arranged so that a second unit can be added later.

No attempt be made to replace the existing sewage system in the center of the town, and that new sewers be limited ter, and Mrs. Donald Kemp. His wile later returned to fcaiu- Mae Ward and Mrs. W. A.
