The ordinance calling for the paw

tween North Third and North Fourth
streets was laid over till the mex,
The followin G interesting cum
munication from Mayor Arthur Null
berger was read:
Gentlemen: There il very little
time left for your Honorable Body to
plan what work is to be done and to
be paid for out of the Street Repair
Fund during the next season. The
Fund last year amounted to the sum
Of $6O86 and this year it amounts to
the sum of S7700. There will be an
advantage, Shis year not only in the
amount available but also in that a
start has been made in substantial
which are the result
Of such Fund. The first year of this
Fund, of course, was the most
difficult, it being that Of organization.
This Fund n comparison with the
old ward fund system is a success. In
the first place, citizens last season,
saw able bodied men who worked with
a will and in one group, where they
could be supervised. There was,
absolutely, no useless cutting of
grass in the cutters where heretofore,
some men took their chances in work
ing now and then, when the Com
was visiting g distant ward
crew.
The City's policy inaugurated dur
ing the last season Of using no dirt
for filling but of using coarse big
limestone rock as for instance, such
as was used on Milwaukee street
between First and Second streets,
resulted in the total number of 1886
feet of solid macadam pavement hav-
ing been completed out OF such Fund.
The following is the distribution of
the same:
On La Fayette street, 600 feet; on
street. 200 feet; on
Hustisford street, $50 feet; on East
Water street, 76O feet; on Elm street,
324 feet; on Monroe street, 442 feet;
on Water street, 500 feet; total, 1886
feet of Macadam pavement.
In addition to this, there was COM
pleted two thousand feet of filling
upon Nashotah street, leading out Of
the city passing the Fair Grounds.
and resurfacing the
pavements, scraping, grad
ing and sweeping the streets was
also accomplished out of this Fund.
The work OF the fund, extended
throughout the seven
wards of the city. What has been
done, in road building last year, will
need no care during the coming sea-
son, during which an addition can be
made to all this road work in last
ing manner. This fund also took care
of 259 feet Of stormwater sewer. In
this matter, | recommend to your
consideration the proposition of build
ing a stormwater sewerage of large
capacity IN Western Avenue, extend
ing from College Avenue on the East
with an outlet in Rock River to the
westward and with branch sewers,
extending along Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth streets. This work will,
cover period of years
and the first section, extending from
Fifth street to the river should be
built at an early date. The following
are the reasons:
First: There are now, during a
storm. an abnormal accumulation of
