Lakeside relief sewer project may win City Commission approval
City Manager Charles W. Thompson asked the commission to consider six bids for the Lakeside relief sewer estimated at 1 046 000. Five bids are well under the estimate as the project serves Wildwood residents from Main Street and Manchester Avenue up to Verity Parkway and Henry Avenue with two spur lines. The panel will also review a school crossing guards ordinance to hire six women for Middletown crossings and set pay at 1.10 per hour, plus license renewals for Richie's Pawn Shop pool room operator John Webb and Ortman Stewart Transportation Co bus licenses.
