BOARD Of WO RK s
S156, ISL So
Amount This Year Exceeds
Expenditures of Last
Year by $4,000.

out OF a total appropriation Of
S164.675.75 10 the board of public
works for work during the year Of
1916. all except s7.944.12. or a total
OF $156.73I.63 has been spent
through the various channels of the
department.
The amount spent by the board
exceeds the expenditures of last year
by $500. This is due 10 several
reasons. All expenses Of the build
ing departments are paid out Of the
funds Of the board of works and
though the charge for permits
makes the department nearly self
supporting. the receipts are turned
over 10 the controller and do not in
crease the funds of the board Of
works. As far as the board of works
is concerned, therefore, the newly
established department has spent
considerably more than $4,000, to
be exact, S5,29913.
Spent More on Streets.
An increase is noted in the pOr-
ton Of funds devoted to the pay
ment of the city's part in the con-
struction Of streets and alleys In
paving the street intersections dur
ing the last year the city has spent
S13,SS1.41 The large amount Of
paving done has caused a raise in
this item. Under printing expend-
itures. a large item that did not ap-
pear on the books Of 1915, for the
printing of ordinances, has served to
increase the total expenditures.
In consideration of the above
facts it is apparent, that the city has
spent less this year that il did last.
For the last year the largest single
item on the expense account has
been the lighting of the city streets.
Under various contracts for various
kinds of lights the total bill for
electricity has amounted 10 an even
$4,000
A total of S33.S45.O4 has been
spent on the streets and alleys of
he city This is exclusive Of the
funds appropriated for the building
of street intersections and for re-
pairs TO old streets. 1t includes in
general principally maintenance
funds. Salaries of employees en-
gagged in keeping the streets clean
md sanitary and i'm beautifying the
surface Of the streets. are all here
1Cluded.

ment. and therefore all monies taken
