submit this, my animal report. OF tie
condition of the affairs of the Cor
poration.
ROADS AND STREETS.
with some over se ven miles of streets
and roads and tie increased travel
upon them, their Iuaintaina.ce and
| Improvement demand the largest items
of our expenditures. It is clearly for
the interest Of our eitiZ ms to improve
the streets so they may be able to rv
sist the increased use and be pleasure
to those who use them. There should
be action taken to improve Main
street on that part now not macada-
mized TO the corporation line So as to
have a continuous stone road so far as
the township authorities may construct
lbeyon,! The corporation line Main
Cross st. will be, after the completion of
tie contract at the West end, maeada
mized to the line of the village. That
part of the street from Main street to
the l.. E. L l.. Ry., is in bad condition,
owing TO the construction with very
little crown to the center of the street,
there being but little chance for the
water TO run to the cutters. With
some changes there could be a good
street made with the material now in
the road bed at small expensee.
FRONT sTREET.
This street has been used six or seven
years since its Improvement with very
little repairs. There is some repairs
to be made On this street of broken
stone.
SANDUSKY STREET.
This street is in fair condition. On
the East end the Street Commissioner
has filed with the debris from the
streets the part next Eagle Greek on
the North side, so that a good side
walk can be constructed on a solid
foundation. This street will require
some repairs of stone, also some drain
age on the West end near the railroad.
Your attention will be called to the
matter by the proper officers during
the season of road improvement. The
Street Commissioner has already COM
menced operations with the scraper on
roads and streets that are unimproved
with stone, and will continue as direct
ed by the proper authority.
SIDE WALKS.
There has been constructed last year
a large amount of new side walks, as
far as made they have bSen well con
constructed and of good material

the river. There has been constructed,
when finished, during the GEAR over
one and one half miles of sewer The
sewer ordered constructed in the West
erp District and the continuation is
now completed, with the exception of
some catch basins. The Board of I'm
provements have taken great care to
have a good and substantial improve
mert. This sewer will be of great
value in sanitary point, as well as
for local drainage. Much credit is due
the Contractor and Engineer i'm press
ing the work to completion during the
extreme cold weather of the past win
ter.
LINCOLN STREET SEWER.
The tile for this sewer has been pur-
chased and the contract let for the
work; the tile 'sre delivered and on
