Mayors Report
TO THE COUNCIL:

TO THE COUNCIL:
/ would respectfully call your at
tention to some of the expenditures
recently made by the city and sub
NIT somewhat detailed report of
certain Improvements made on Vir-
ginis Park during the present sea-
son.
Between the 18th of February
and the 5.h of June, 1913. there
were issued to M. E. BOales. on the
approval of Councilman F. w. Dab
neY. chairman Of the Park Commit
tee. seventeen weekly warrants rang
ing from 1928 to $16O.35 and ag-
gregating $1,746 o. which were
paid from an appropriation autE e
ed by the Council for Park improve
ments. Up to March 20 there
were seven warrants amounting to
$439.64, during which period the
rubbish was removed from Virginia
Park, the old walks we're torn up.
the new walks were excavated for
concrete and the earth used for
grading, the sod was removed from
Peace Park and laid on Virginia
Park. During this time Mr.. Boales
was paid So per day for 80 days.
Only one of the vouchers for this
work was left with the Treasurer
and duplicates were afterwards
supplied which did not itemize all
the expenditures, but n the aRgre-
gate the items were classified as fol-
lows: M. E. Boales, supervisor.
$50; same for rent of tools. $500;
for teams at So a day, $500; for
labor at SIPS a day. $253.82: for
tools purchased, $13 IS. and for in
cidentals, $9.77, a total of $4S9 GA.
In the week ending March 20, Mr..
Boales was employed at $4 day to
put down between 5000 and 5000
square feet of concrete pavements
in Virginia Park and was paid to
June 5, 81, 306. AZ in money and was
supplied with crushed stone to the
value of $385.84, and cement to the
value of $478.84. these several items
aggregating $2.171 SO. Mr.. Boales
during that time received 1,O74
sacks of cement and used 947 sacks.
90l in the walks, 46 in foundations
for the fence and for urns and de-
livered 12l to the contractors on the
pavilion and 6 sacks to the City En-
gineer. While the concrete was be-
ing laid the 81, 906.42 paid in cash to
Mr.. Boales was paid out as follows,
as shown by his vouchers attached
to the warrants; M. E. Boales, sup
ervisor, $256; same for rent of tools,
So. so; for teams at So so and $500
per day, $50 as; for labor at $l.25 to
SO a day. 1897 .32; for lumber, $50 80;
for incidentials. $48.95. 1t was found
to be impossible to arrive at the ex
act cost of the concrete walks. Mr..
Boales' report showed 1928 square
feet of the walk and this measure
ment was found to be about correct.
The figures accepted after measure
ments under my supervision were
$500 feet. Other work done by
Mr.. Boales during the ten weeks
from March 20 to June 5 was the
planting Of shrubs, sodding along
side the new walks. some concrete
work on the fences. statues and
urns, general cleaning up. wrapping
and working on trees and a little
work was done on planting shrub
berry on the little Belmont Park and
trees on Peace Park.
