THE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER REPORT.
The report of the highway commissioner, Mr..
ID. +. Parker is an elaborate document pre-
pared with great care, and showing, in detail,
just what has been accomplished in his depart
ment. 1t is impossible in these columns to give
the minute attention TO each subject contained
in the report that Mr.. Parker has done. We
quote from his general remarks with which the
report begins, and, passing over various matters
of interest, give the most important facts shown:
The last season has been the longest and best
for work of any during the past four years, the
amount of labor performed greater, and the eX-
pense, OF course, proportionately larger; and yet
the demands of the public have not been fully
met. Nor can it be reasonably expected. with
the increasing growth of the city in population
and travel. The enterprise of the inhabitants in
building and opening new Streets and calling
upon the city to make them public in addition
to those already built, but not as yet
made public, together with the principal
thoroughtares built by the city, the unparalleled
number of calls for curbstone gutter, cross
walks, and street paving all remind us that our
city is expanding, and so long as such is the
case, the demands upon this department will
continue TO increase. With the use of the stock
now on hand, this department might be con-
Quoted for single year with apparently less ex-
pense by using the amount of stock on hand at
the commencement Of the year, and purchasing
nothing except what is wanted for immediate
use. But experience has shown that in order to
do piece of work promptly, when called for,
the stock must be available. Much de-
lay has heretofore been occasioned in
the execution of work by being Obliged to
wait for stock. By having limited amount on
