brought up to date during the winter and several new maps were made and put on file, so that this map system which has been carried on for num- Der of years is completed up to date.
 ''The streets macadamized are Bas- sett street, from Trinity to Roberts, 332 feet: Fairview street from Kel- sey to Woodland streeet, 2,762 feet; Hurlburt street from Stanley to Smal- ley street, GAO feet Roberts street from Bassett to South Main street, S09 feet; Fremont street from North to Lasalle street, 2,100 feet; Wilson street fl om East Main street to Smalley street, 672 feet: total 7,315.
 This year has stood second to none in regard to the constructive work accomplished and has advanced the city in a long stride toward better streets and better sanitation. The northern section of the city and also the western section has been given complete sewer accommodations and already the sanitary conditions of these sections have been brought to perfect condition, thus enhancing the value of the property in these sections and making sites for homes more desirab ble and beautiful. over five miles of our streets have been improved during the year, the work being done in every section of the city Over three miles were macad- amized or properly paved, and over two miles were graded to an official grade. This is a record to be proud of, and the work was accomplished with dispatch and accuracy and cer- tainly places the city on higher plane in regard to the condition of its streets.
 ''The street appropriation in this city compared to that of other cities is small and the work accomplished here with the appropriation allotted certainly shows good results. There is no doubt that the condition of our streets is being improved every year and with continued progress in this line we will soon be on an equal with any city in this respect. One matter in regard to streets which should be given more attention is the upkeep and maintenance, after they have been improved, thus prolonging the life of our streets at small cost"
 The report closes by expressing qualification with the harmonious manner in which the work has been conducted and thinking the members of the board of public works and it's officials and also all the departmen and officials of the city government for their assistance and co-opera- ton.
