CONSTRUCTION ON NEW SEWAGE PLANT TO BEGIN

In less than a week after bids were received, construction work on Hamilton Township's nearly $3,000,000 sewage system is scheduled to get under way tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock with ground-breaking ceremonies on the site of the new disposal plant on Independence Avenue, near the old Camden trolley line. Initial contracts, let to all Trenton firms, cover construction of the disposal plant, including electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and structural work. Scheduled for completion within a year, the plant will be constructed at a cost of approximately $390,000. As work progresses, bids will be sought for the remainder of the construction program, which involves the laying of some 70 miles of trunk lines, semi-trunks and laterals. F. J. Parker, formerly of Montclair, is the resident engineer in charge of the Federal PWA supervision of the vast project.
