joint between the patch and the old pavement cannot be made.
 REPAIRS MADE
 'No long periods of dry weather oc- cured this year. Immediately after the appropriation for paved street re- pairs became available October, 1919. general repairs on bituminous street paving was started and the work pushed as rapidly as possible. Usually such work can be carried on with lit- tie interruption until the end of Decem Der. However. the rainy season came 30 days earlier last fall than usual, thus leaving many needed repairs un- cared for. The county about the same time, started repairs on some of it's streets and succeeded in completing those on Twenty-sixth street from First to Seventh avenues. and on Third ave- nue from Eighteenth to Twenty sixth streets, when the rainy season began. Since that time no repairs have been undertaken by the county. The aban- doning of these repairs by the.-county was wise and economical procedure, since had they been continued through the winter. in all probability a great portion of the work would have to be done over this summer.
 Numerous cuts have been made in the pavements for the purpose of lay
 
 lie utilities pipes. It is the duty of the city to relay the pavement over such excavations. The city has followed up this work very closely and relaid the pavement over the cuts as promptly as possible, and there are now few, if any. which have not been taken care of. Owing to the weather conditions at the time these repairs were made, the re- suits have not been uniformly satisfac- tory, and a number of them will have to be relaid this summer.
 ISN'T DONE
 Tt is almost the universal practice In cities and counties not to attempt any repairs to bituminous pavements pr relay such pavements over any excava- tions during the winter or rainy sea son. regardless of the inconvenience re- sulting.
 "As regards the comments of the grand jury on the fact that no arrests have been mode of parties making ex- cavations in the streets, beg to say that the law requires the party making such excavation to maintain the same for period of twelve months and dur ing that time to maintain deposit with the city sufficient to pay the cost of necessary repairs. Consequently, when during the guarantee period a ditch is found to be in need of repairs. we telephone the party responsible and he at once takes care of the ditch.
 "The character of much of the soil in this district Is unusual When damp 1t expands to a considerable extent. and no amount of tamping will prevent it from shrinking and setting after 1t has become thoroughly dry. Consequently, ditches excavated in wet weather fre- quently settle several years lataer.
