In connection with this we would say

necessary To keep one team on the
sprinkler for sprinkllng the streets
and during the hot months of the sum
mer II requires two teams on the
sprinklers. This also is considered as
an expense 90 the street committee
II can he seen from this that most OF
the time there ia but one available
team for actual repairs aud new work
on the streets. and from this report il
can be seen that a great deal OF work
has been done.
