public project including any proposed alternate locations, at least  ten
but  no  more  than  thirty days prior to such public hearing by causing

official  daily  newspaper  if  there  is one designated in the locality
where the project will be situated  and  in  at  least  five  successive
issues  of a daily newspaper of general circulation in such locality. If
