STREETS BUDGET
BOOSTED HIGH
HAARER ASKS S1,245,673 FOR RE-
suRFAclNe. REPAvINo AND
PATCHING.

A larger amount than ever before
is asked by the department Of public
works for the care OF Detroit's streets
the coming year. This Is partially
due TO the fact that the board OF esu-
mates cut the paving budget to the
bone last year, piling up work for
1903
In the general road fund, Commits
sloner Haarer will ask for Sl.245.6IS
for resurfacing, repaving and patch
Ing, as against SS26.447 allowed last
year. A number OF supplemental es-
SO that the total paving budget VIII
run we'll up toward 81 500 900.
The resurfacing is distributed as
follows; Asphalt, s425.756; creosoted
wood block, $4l0.97S; brick, $393,633;
stone, s7756; cedar block. $3.50. Re
paving IL distributed in this way:
Asphalt $50, $50, brick. $l75.4S3; creo-
soted wood block, s54.2Sl.
In these estimates there Is an i'm
mense increase In the amount OF Gre
osoted wood block pavement asked
for, the popularity OF this pavement.
which is comparatively noiseless, be-
ing shown by the many requests for
its use. Commissioner Haarer has
also been figuring on getting II cheap
er than usual by putting in a municiD-
al creosoting plant In 1908 the esti'
majors cut out most of the creosoted
wood paving.
Haarer believes that II pays 10 re
pair pavement before il gets SO bad as
10 require replacing. He has. there
fore, asked for largely increased repair
funds. He wants $4,000 for cedar
pavements, the same amount for brick
pavements and $4,000 for asphalt
patching. He puts in again the item
for repairing crossings at alley en-
frances at $4,000 which was cut out en-
tirely by the estimators last year.
The salary list OF the department
has not yet been completed. Frank
Aldrich. superintendent OF street
cleaning and garbage collection asks
for an increase from $1,000 TO $4,000,
but this has not yet been passed upon
by the commissioner.

HARPER HOSPITAL
i AS UNIVERSITY
ADJUNCT
DISCUSS PROPOSE,
TON, AND PLAN MAY BE WORK
ED oUT-DR. METcALF HAS RE-
ORGANIZATION SCHEME.

a reorganization OF Harper hospital,
which might even mean it's inclusion
as an adjunct 10 the University OF
Michigan. was discussed by the trus-
tees. "Wednesday evening. DR.. VIII
lam +. Metcalf appeared before the
board and gave at length his reasons
for such reorganization.
The fact was developed definitely
that some OF the subscriptions to the
fund for building new hospital were
turned In with the understanding that
there will be n change in the policy OF
the hospital This Will be considered
by the board in making its decision In
the February meeting when the
makeup Of the staff for the coming
year will be fixed.
Dr. Metcalf did not criticize the hos
pital as a curative institution, but de-
clared that IL should be scientific and
educational establishment as well. Ii
was also stated that the Detroit Cor
lege OF Medicine has too large a
measure OF control at the present
time.
While these arguments were heard
by the trustees and the matters dis
cussed in some detail. no vote was
taken TO indicate the future trend OF
policy.
The trustees Of Harper hospital now
hope that events may so shape them
selves that the institution may be
utilized by the state university. This
could be done by having the medical
students spend their first two years
in Ann Arbor and their remaining
years OF study in Detroit, where the
hospital would furnish the clinical IA
cilities necessary To the best educa-
tional work. and which are harder TO
obtain in a small city.
meeting was held recently al
when this plan was discussed by
some OF the Harper hospital trustees
and university officials. The Harper
hospital officials offered to turn over
their charge TO the university but this
offer was not accepted. although 1t
may be brought up again later.
