PATCH PAvEMENTs WHEN
SIGNS OF DECAY APPEAR.

Commissioner Haarer will ask for
ldouhas aha amoszuAa al mo1ey next year
to repair pavements that has been sci
aside In recent years for this purpose
This decision comes as q result Of the
reports Of his superintendents who
have been out over most OF the
streets Of the city.
II think that 1t will be economy to
increase the funds for patching wood
and brick pavements 30 that they
will not wear out" says Haarer. II
do not need any increase in the fund
for repairing asphalt pavement as yet,
however.
Many streets could be fixed up by
patching which, IL allowed to go for
another year will have to be resur-
faced, the holes and ruts growing
greatly In the meantime"
patching Is $4,000 and the same
amount for brick repairs. Commits
sioner Haarer wants $4,000 for each
Of these funds.
Asphalt work by the city plant Is
practically finished. Only two JOBS Of
repairing pavement are left and then
the plant goes into winter quarters
The department has practically
finished every paving job for which
money was allowed this year, and will
start with a clean slate next spring.
Commissioner Haarer will borrow
money against the estimates as soon
as these are passed, beginning work
by the latter part of May instead OF
waiting until July l for start.
