time.
Last year about $390GU was spent for

pairing old surfaces. In connection with
this street Improvement work the Com
missiOners have received number of re-
quests from property owners and business
men to the effect that certain streets

phalt block be resurfaced with sheet as
phalt. The Commissioners believe most
OF the streets should be re,aved Will,
