Lack of Funds Halt Bay View Sewer Extension
At a Sewer Commission meeting last evening the board voted to stop laying more pipe on Bay View avenue due to lack of funds. The 1928 $50,000 appropriation is exhausted after 842 feet of 10 inch pipe. To complete current work, $800 was diverted from the regular Sewer Account. Chairman William T. Dwyer cited rock in the path as the main reason the appropriation fell short.
