short Lived street Improvement.

SnVAt StFcct LIE VEOtGlHtM
The rule adopted by the Street and
Water Board yesterday to make no more
Improvements in any street until it is
severed is most wise. The vile condition
Of many of our ~thoroughfares is caused
largely by tearing up the roadway to con-
struet sewers and lay gas and water
pipes.
Another fertile source of destruction is
the making of house connections. These
are made recklessly by the private con-
tractor. and the city officials seem to pay
no attention to the repairs, so that after
a few months a newly paved street be-
comes streaked with ruts and ridges,
about one to every second house. There
was a great fuss made a little while ago
about the matchmaking of Arlington
avenue. The work was lone about a year
ago, and now the roadway is either a mud
hole or a dust heap. according to the
weather.
The work seems to hav been rottenly
bad in the first instance. 1t is impossible
otherwise to understand the present abom-
Unable state of the surface. But the con-
ditions have been made much worse by
the later operations of building contrac-
tors. The macadam. such as it is, has
been cut up in many places and the open
ings left for weeks so that the soft dirt
face. Sand. earth and lime rave been
heaped upon the surface. and never prop
eriy cleaned away. Nobody has paid
any attention to the street, and after
a years neglect Ut is in almost as bad
shape for riding or driving as before the
improvement was made.
These statements are not lightly made.
They are well within the truth. Anyone
can see for himself by visiting the street
at any time. The roadway is covered
with an n c deep of dust or else an inch
Of mud at all times. If one wants to
note bad work, it Is only necessary to
compare this job with the Boulevard. The
very worst spot in the Boulevard is mag
nificent in comparison with the very best
on Arlington avenue. OF course, the
Boulevard cost a great deal more, but
anyone noting the difference will admit
that the money was well spent. Be-
sides, If this venue is compared with
ordinary macadam roads, say on Staten
Island or in Essex county. which cost
about the same amount, 1T will be found
hopelessly inferior in its present condi-
ton.
It may be replied to these remarks
that the hard stone road is there under
the mud, in good condition. If it is,
the Street and Water Board ought toI
send out an exploring expedition, under
Street Contractor Henry Byrne, to dig
for it and bring it to light.
