The town invites sealed proposals for street improvements including curb, gutter, and excavation work. Bids require a $500 certified check and must be filed with Town Clerk R. V. Neville by August 23, 1917. Contracts include five year repair guarantee and may include multi-project award provisions.
The document outlines privately owned property set back beyond three hundred feet from an improved street and against railways under applicable laws. Payment for maid work uses improvement bonds of the town, drawing interest at a specified rate from assessment date. Deficiency between contract price and bonds is paid by warrants on the improvement fund from tax proceeds, with warrants issued as funds become available.
