dollar rolling-and keep It rolling.
A survey was recently conducted by
their offices to determine the attitude
OF the various cities regarding public
work and the plans they were making
along this line.
Mr.. T. Chalkley Hatton, Chief En-
gineer Of the City Of Milwaukee, says
I'm reply to your favor of January
18th, I beg to advise you that the Sew
erage Commission Of the City OF Mil
waukee has made plans and secured
the necessary funds for carrying out
about $1,014,O0O work of new work
during the coming year and are now
letting out contracts governing the
construction Of such work and will
continue so to do as rapidly as the
season is such that outside work can
be properly carried on. In addition
to this, there are seven contracts for
outside construction, amounting to
approximately $4,000, being carried
on-that is, hanging over from last
year.
The Sewerage Commission has no
desire whatever to hold up any work
that can be properly carried on dur
ing this year and has, during the past
six months, made every effort to have
plans ready and money on hand to
carry on as much work as possible
after war was over, as this method
would be highly desirable for employ
ing men released from strenuous en-
ployment during the war.
