As the weather Is such now that tho
work on the streets and highways ia
stopped for the time being, great many
| taxpayers are looking around the village
and asking themselves il the streets are in
any better condition than in either OF tho
| past two years. They know that very
liberal appropriation was made, $4,000, at
the financial meeting and that that amount
OF money, which was an increase Of s10-
900 over the usual appropriation, should
have insured an unusual amount OF work
all over the town.
Men who have watched the street inn
provements in the town for years, who
understand when job is WELL or only
half done, say that the amount OF work
that should have been accomplished for
10000 Is far above the limit reached by
the men appointed by the economical
council"
Andrew j. Patt, carpenter, was ap-
pointed to the position OF Highway Sur
veyor in Districts and 8, which includes
this village. Perhaps he received tho
berth for the valiant services rendered at
the raid made upon the Town House when
he happened to have duplicate keys to-
some doors and was handy in boring
around locks when keys were not forth
| coming.
Where has the money been expended in
this villageH There is the Summit street
job. II Is completed at last, but what
does 1t amount TO?
Is the improvement, II there is any,
worth the money expended? Nine out Of
every ten men will answer no. The street
was cut down and then IL was found that
the water main recently laid must bc
lowered. That was done. The curbing
was set and on account OF some miscalcu-
lation, part had to be relaid. As u
finishing touch, top dressing OF light,
scaly stone was strewn on and then rolled
| down and men, who know, say it will last
no time and that the street will require
more work next year. This is one hole
into which the taxpayers money has been
dumped.
Curbing had to be reset on Pine and
Richardson streets after having once been
laid, showing the knowledge the surveyor
had OF work. Instances have been no.
ticed where ten men were at work "pck-
ing up" street when the steam roller
| could have done the work better in one
tenth OF the time. All these little things
count.
All the work done that amounted to
anything was what ex-Highway Surveyor
| Phillips had laid out. There yet remain
| about five months OF the towns business
year and IT is said that the highway appro-
| priation is nearly exhausted. What is to
be done for the next five months for tho
necessary repairs, etc? The fountains arc
not cared for rs they should be and arc
even now clOgged and frozen up. More
work was done by the Democratic admin
istrntion with $4,000 than the Republicans
have done with 10000
