BONDS AT PREMIUM
Sewer System Now Likely to
Become ReklityConcrete
Buildings Go Up.
(BpedsJ to The JearasL)
. Lebanon, Or., Sept. 8. Things again
look favorable for Lebanon to have . a
sewer . system. The bonds voted last
year and sold In May but rejected by
the attorneys for the bonding company
on a legal point were readvertlsed. New
bids were as follows: Union Trust A
Savings bank, Spokane, Wash., par, ac
crued Interest,' 1170 per'11000 premium
and cost of preparing the bonds; J. H.
Causey V Co., Denver, Colo., par, ac
crued interest,' ITS gross premium on
the 170,000 and payment of the cost
of printing; Bidwell-Harden Bros., par
for 60,000. 1
The bid of the Union Trust & Sav
ings bank was accepted under the con
dition that this company put up a cer
tified check for 13500, guaranteeing to
take the bonds provided that their at
torneys found them all right. The
firm of Bldwell-Hayden Bros, was next
high. s
Last spring Bldwell-Hayden Bros,
were awarded the contract to build the
sewer but the sale of the bonds held
up the work. It now looks as If this
sale will go through and if It does, work
will commence within the next ten
days. Lebanon Is badly in need of a
sewer.
The receipts of the Lebanon postofflce
for August show a gain of 40 per cent
over August 1910. The postofflce boxes
are all rented and Postmaster Brown
has ordered another section, which will
be Installed sometime this month.- Thers
