Chadwick Seeks WPA Help for Village Sewer Project
The Chadwick village board met in special session to hear Dixon contractor K Willett discuss a proposed sewer project and possible WPA financing. Officials say the cost around 45000 dollars would burden taxpayers even with aid, given existing street light and water tank bonds. If state sanitary board mandates sewer, they may accept government help.
