By Litchfield property the Washington City Council promised last night to give the Seacrest Marine company an answer within 10 Days on its request for installation of a sewer line to its Plant site West of the City. Seacrest which recently acquired the old Beaufort county prison Camp property for erection of a boat building Plant requested that the City install the line with the company providing the lift stations.

The anticipated Cost of a six Inch line to the Seacrest property was put at $18,000, half for material and half for labor.
