The William Muirhead Construction Company bid $07,047, and the Atlas Build ing Company bid $61,150. Town Manager Tom Rose said the Town only had $50,000 for this project, thus causing the aldermen to let Mr. Rose study the bids for 15 days, with the possibility of delaying some of the curb ing on some of the streets. Os the Muirhead bid, $15,530 was for grading and excavation, and $17,825 of the Atlas bid would be for the same purpose. Muirhead promised completion of the project in 240 calendar days, whereas Atlas promised it in 270 calendar days, j Streets on which the curbing is proposed are Col umbia, Me Dade, Graham, Sycamore, Valley l’ark. Brook side and cross sec tions, and the Briar Bridge Valley Road and the busi nessdistrict alley behind the Host Office.

The Institute needs to set up such a range for a State Highway Hatrol training program. The site for a range has not been yet de cided upon, but the itvas made now so the In stitute won’t have to wait until the next quarterly .consideration of zoning amendments once . a site is chosen. This amendment, if pass ed, will not authorize any one to set up a rifle or pis tol range, but will allow it only ,from a special permit from the Board of Adjust ment. The Board also voted to rezone, from RA-20 resi dential to suburban com mercial, the triangular area between the Durham Road and the bypass to Glen lauiiiox that leads off the Durham Road.
