' Tenders for the construction of a storm sewer to serve North Main Street will be opened on Thursday of this week: The work on the two projects will go ahead at the same time. Speaking to The . Expositor Wednesday morning, H.. Fen- nerty. of the James F. McLaren Associates, the consulting en. gineer for the town, said nec- essary checking and approval should be completed within a week, to permit a formal con- tract being awarded.

The low bid is somewhat higher than the estimated con- tract cost of $164,000. Prelim- inary Municipal Board approv- al was based on a total project cost of $177,600, plus up to 10 per cent additional.
