fall into bad condition.
Since the war, although handicapped
by difficulty in securing labor at prices
lhe city could pay, the department has
achieved an amount ot repair work and
new construction for which II should
receive the thanks of an citizens. The
coming Of winter viii call a halt IN the
paving program but with another year
the department will proceed steadily
towards getting all the city streets in
10 good condition. Those who have
watched the many processes during the
new construction of Delaware avenue
Will realize the vast amount Of work
connected with the re-paying Of every
block.
The large amount Of new work done
during the year may readily be seen
from the following list of streets re-
ceiving new pavement as given by
street Commissioner Frank W. Pierson:

Adams street.

purchasing the issue from around

favorable prices Because of the
lack Of business in this line and
more particularly. the inability of
