Twombly & Eldert Got the Contract.

New York, 1895

The contract for macadamizing the Middle Neck road at Great Neck, in the town of North Hempstead, was awarded Twombly & Eldert, of Jamaica, on Monday, their bid being 95 cents per lineal foot, or a total of $12,445, exclusive of engineer's fees.

The appropriation is $12,000, and it is estimated that the entire cost of the work, including engineer's fees, will amount to $13,800. Supervisor Denton was directed to apply to the board of Supervisors for permission to issue bonds for the sum named, and also for $8,000 for the construction of an iron bridge across Udall's pond, on the line of the new road from Great Neck village to the shore, and thence to Little Neck. The total sum for which it is required to issue bonds is $21,800.
