COST CLOSE TO $400,000 Water and Gas Mains, Wires and Sewers to Be Placed Bonn- daries, East 3 6th, We3t Avenue, Base Iilne, Hawthorne.

If possible the district will be extended to the Section Line Road. All water mains, sewers, gas mains and wires are to be placed un derground before the pavements are laid. The cost of the pavements In the district will be between $200,000 and J300.000, and then will come in the utilities, embracing pipes and sewers, which will run up the cost J100.000 more.
