JANUARY "a, 1913.
nc.. Z. 4 xtS.. Mayor:
haze the honor 60 make the follow
ing rep0r. OF this department for the month
OF Cosc;.abe:, 1872. viz:
BUREAU OF STREETS.
N consequence OF the difficulty the fnan-
sial officers of the city had been laboring
under 20 obtain money for the payment OF
labor. the force of men employed on the
streets has been very small, aud the work
performed has been confined to the clean
ing Of CUTTERS IL the principal streets.
The prevalence of the horse disease durs
ing the month. rendered the prompt re-
moyal of she SH.l saS refuse matter an ime
possibility.
The carts SOW in tie employ of the De
partment are dol: fl.li duty. removing the
OfFal in the morning ana street pilings in
the evening. and am gratifed to say that
no complaints have been made recently of
any neglect.
Efforts have been made to keen the
bridges and crossings in good condition
During the month over fifty bridges and
ten crossings have been oyerhauled and
thoroughly repaired.
Many of the cobb:e stone streets are In
want of repairs, and a few of the square
blocks on other streets want relaxing: but
until could see how much money it would
cost, and where the money to pay for the
work was coming from, deemed it advisa-
BILE not to hire any paving gangs. 1t is
perhaps unnecessary for me to say that the
dirt streets in the rear of the city require
grading, and that holes are found every
where. The shell roads also show an IN
even surface. and require repairs, but with
the limited Number Of men have felt dis
posed 70 engage thus far, no greater amount
OF work could have been accomplished.
As no determination has yet been reached
regarding the manner of paving bills, | am
not able in this report to state the actual
expenses OF the department. The pay rolls of
the bureau of streets for officers amounted
to $2983 33; for labor $55t3 s.; for carts
