Road Commissioner John =. Mich
OILS estimates the damage to the high
ways by the storm of last week to be
over $500 The roads were so dry that
the sudden deluge secured the roads of
their top dressing. The large amount
of water that fell could not be taken
care of by the surface drainage pipes
and the leaves and sticks that were
broken off from the trees clogged the |
CRATES and this still further prevented |
the water from flowing through the |
pipes. Nine tile were broken at the |
junction of Organ and Estey streets.
These have been replaced The sur
face pipe that leads from Birge street
to the Milestone brook was also broken
and will be replaced as soon as possible.
At least 100 loads of sand and gravel
was washed into Vernon street. Sew.
eral roads have been badly torn up but
repairs have been made so that all of
these are now passable. 1t is possible
that permanent road work will begin
on Canal street next week. The mac.
adamiZed road will be continued from
a point near the Canal street school
building to Birge street. If the treas
Try holds out Mr.. Nichols will resurfacc
Main street when the work on Canal
street is completed.
