The Committee on Streets, Sewers and
Bridges, to whom was referred the commune
cation Of R. o. Strong, Chief Engineer of the
Firo Department, IN regard to the condition of
street crossings, recommend that it be referred
to the Board of Public Works.
Your committee would suggest to the Board
of Public Works that some different plan of
supervision of street crcssings or sidewalks be
adopted, complaints are made every day to
aldermen, who have no control or management
in the matter, as to the condition of the side
walks, crosswalks and streets in the city, and
your committee concur in the expressed opin-
ion as to the wretched condition of the streets,
the unsafe condi Jon of many Of the sidewalks.
What is the best policy for tho Board of Public
Works to adopt?
Your committee are of the opinion that if
one of the assistant engineers was ordered to
make an examination of all the streets that
needs repairing, sidewalks that were damaged
and ought to be relaid or repaired, the city
would be largely the gamer.
