For the information of mayor and
city council herewith give the follow.
ing:
gone over the streets and sidewalks of
the city on tour Of inspection for the
purpose Of ascertaining what improve.
should be made ON the streets at the
present time, and reporting the same.
l find of the $50 wooden street cross.
ing about 90 in more or less bad condi.
ton, and of the 35 wood culverts about
10 of no service, and about the same
number will soon have to be replaced.
Iwould recommend that as soon az
required wooden culverts be replaced
with sewer pipe, and wooden cross
walks replaced with stone. The average
life of wooden culverts and wooden
crossings is not more than five years
and the difference of cost of wooden anC
stone crossings is very little, and th'
cost of wooden culverts and sewer pip,
ia about the same.
!, Sidewalks in many places are in neeG
. of being rebuilt, and / would recon
mend brick for walks. Cost about the
same as wooden walks. There has beel
great improvement in putting larg'
number of brick walk in the past yea
in resident part of city. All new con
strueted sidewalks should be Of brick.
