committee, are executed Columbia

administration than have been built
heretofore, and will build them at
lower cost 1t is proposed by Mr..
Ghaffin to employ an expert to super
intend street work, and to separate
the offices of city marshal and street
overseer.
Mr. Chafin was interviewed this
morning by a Herald representative
at his store, and talked of the propos-
ed street work. He said:
While all plans are merely tenta-
tive, and must be sanctioned by the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen. it is
my intention as chairman of the street
committee to recommend the employ
ment of an expert to supervise the
street work | believe that my recon-
mendation will be put into effect. al
though several meetings will be held
by the Board before anything definite
can be given out. The Board will go
into the proposition thoroughly and
VIII take no action until they are pre-
pared to act inteligently and for the
best interest of the city.
Street building, like other lines of
industry, requires some technical
and practical experience.
For that reason an expert should be
employed to supervise the work, one
Who is thoroughly familiar with its
very detail. If this is done | be-
ieve far more satisfactory results can
'e obtained and that the cost to the
,ity will be materially reduced. prob
bly, one half
The Offices of city marshal and
treet overseer should be separate for
he reason that one man cannot dis
barge the duties of the two posi-
ions, Furthermore, city marshal is
ot presumed TO be an expert street
uilder
AS to material, / think crushed
tone can be used proftably and
heaply. Tariyated streets seem to
i've satisfaction but the work should

lands it.
=" Just at present the budget has
cen pretty thoroughly exhausted by
ne laying of sidewalks. However, af- !
er the first of next year, you can ex-
act street work to begin on bigger
