Point Pleasant Selects Bid For Sewage Plant Bonds
Point Pleasant City Council accepted the Nelson Browning Co. bid to handle bonds for a proposed sewage treatment plant. The bid was 91.85 at 3 percent, slightly higher than Edward G. Taylor Co.'s 91 at 3 percent, saving about 65,000 over last week's 90 at 4 percent. Sealed bids were opened after a Monday night vote. Westheimer of Cincinnati did not bid. The council aims to extend the contract if federal or state aid arrives, with plans to call approximately 210,000 in outstanding bonds on Aug. 1 and release 60,000 in water bonds to consolidate into first lien bonds. Attorney J. G. Johnson urged deferral due to a weak bond market.
