Remembers Kindly People Highlighting Miss Marvin's trav- Board Postpones Action on Mains To Housing Site The Board of Municipal Works Thursday opened bids on materials for the installation of water mains to the proposed low-rent housing project in the West End but the water commissioners made it clear that they will take no action on actual purchases until certain factors of the construction have been resolved. The water board at its special session Thursday recalled that since an advertisement made for the mains, valves, fitting and hydrants for the housing project it has developed that unfavorable soil conditions have been encountered on a portion of the site of the 160-unit project. Excavation Halted As a result of the findings, excavation on the construction site has been halted pending a further study of the conditions.

At the bid opening--for which 12 proposals were received--the commissioners expressed unanimous belief that it would be advisable to withhold the awarding of any, contracts for the purchase of the materials until it has been mined definitely how the construe-; tion will proceed. Cost of the extensions would be less than $20,000. The bids received by the board were from the U. S. Pipe Foundry Minneapolis; American.
