Plan To Extend West River Street Sanitary Sewer Project
The city plans to issue bonds of 25000 for extending the West River street sanitary sewer from Floradalé to Hell avenue to serve a new building project now under way. Legislation will authorize awarding a contract for the improvement if the bond ordinance passes. Also to be considered is hiring supervisors for construction of storm sewers tied to a 540000 bond issue approved last November. Resolutions will authorize improving Harwood street from Cleveland to Hamilton and the street from Middle avenue east, with engineers urging a single contract to boost contractor interest. No bids were received previously for the Harwood project.

Little Hope Of A Federal Grant For Courthouse Plans
Lorain county officials said federal funds to finance courthouse plans are unlikely after a three day trip to Columbus.
