Annual Report OF the street Commits

Annual Report OF the street Commas
sioner.
Wichita, Kan. April 9. 1900.
Honorable Mayor and Council:
Gentlemen: 1 have the honor to submit
herewith my annual report for the fiscal
year beginning April l, 1898, covering the
expenditures Of my department up to and
including April l, 1900.
STREETS.
The year 1899 has been unusually wet,
especially the winter months, which ne
cessitated an unusual amount of labor to
keep the streets in good, passabls CON
dition.
1t has been my object at all times to
keep down the expenses Of the DEPART
ment where consistent with public de-
mands, by and through the advice of the
public improvement committee. We have
attended especially to work on the streets
where public travel most demanded it,
and IN view of the large amount OF work
required we think we have been reason
ably successful.
The greatest good for the least expense
can be accomplished by the use Of the
graders. Heavy continuous rains renders
most Of the travelled streets practically
impossible. BY going over the street
once with the grader it can be made
smooth at an expense of about IS per
mile which makes the cost Insignificant
compared to the benefit to the public
Most of the main dirt streets have been
brought to grade and streets are in fine
con Hilton, and the open bitches are kept
well opened on these streets TO carry of
storm water. with the possible exception
of Thirteenth street east of Emporia, and
Central avenue. The fall is not great
enough to successfully carry the storm
water in an open ditch
ALLEYS.
The alleys in the business part of the
city have been cleaned of cinders and
rubbish once week and are In good con-
dition. except where some few of the
business firms persist in dumping their
waste paper in the alley and allowing the
wind to blow them over the city
PAVEMENT AND GUTTER.
The pavement has been swept twice
each week and cutters cleaned daily and
all paved streets kept In good, clean con-
diuon-
