sewerage system for said town shall have been completed and said Mayor
and Town Council of Kitzmillersville shall have decided, after opportu-
nity for a hearing has been given, to proceed with the construction, they
shall advertise by notice in such newspapers and technical press as they
may deem proper, for bids for the construction of said system, in parts

or as a whole, as in their judgment may appear advisable. The contract
shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder, or the Mayor and Town Coun-

the prices quoted are unreasonable, they may readvertise the work or any
part of it, or may do any part or all of the work by day labor; provided
that at any time the Mayor and Town Council of Kitzmillersville may, in
their discretion, expend by day labor for construction work an amount

not exceeding $1,000 without advertising or receiving bids. All such con-
tracts may be protected by such bonds, penalties and conditions as the
Mayor and Town Council of Kitzmillersville shall require, all of which
shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction.

which said owners will be heard. Such notice shall be mailed to the last
known address, or served in person upon any adult occupying the premises,

said hearing. The Mayor and Town Council may change the classifica-
