There will be two services, at

The cornerstone for the build-

Huron Expositor at that time.
Some months later, on Dec.
22 and 29 of that year, the
church was opened and dedi-
cated. A feature on the open-
ing occasion was a fowl sup-

and in announcing, the event

While no definite • date for
commencement of the work can
be reached until the contract
is awarded, town officials are
hopeful there will be little or
no delay. It was suggested that
if there were no complications,
the work could be completed
this year. '
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. It was not
expected there would be any
delay in gaining OMB clear-
ance, since the low bid was well
within the amount authorized
by the board.
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.
