A $148,000 water system bond

The agency, which does not

private interests.

The work is listed in the speci
fications in four sections: instal
lation of the distribution sys
tem; construction of the found
ation for the tank; construction
of the storage tank; installation
of mechanical and electric equip
ment and construction of three

Bids are to be taken in two
