The successful bid was $72,877.11, which 1 amount includes only the actual cost of construction. Engineering fees and other costs connected with the im1 provement will bring the total cost to at least $100,000, it was thought. ' Plans for the new system were drawn 1 llp early last fall, after the new system 1 installed by Wilmette had been completed and put into operation. A public hearing on the proposed improvement \\·as held and a referendum was ' taken in the vil.lage, resulting in an l CIVerwhelming majority in fayor of the improvement. Begin Work Soon The contract for the work of in stallation \\·ill be signed ten days after the date it was awarded and work will probably begin immediately, it was thought. The contract specifies that the s:--·stem shall be put into operation by July 30, 1926. According to the specifications. there will be 368 octagonal, reinforced conJ.
