In 1912, 1918 and at the present
time, attempts have been made TO pre-
vent his reelection but with the great

friends scattered throughout this city
will record their votes in his favor on

ferring to last year.
Secs Need for Larger Fund.
Discussing the need for larger
appropriations to resurface worn-out
asphalt streets, Mr.. Hunt says:
VERY little resurfacing of asphalt
roadways was accomplished during
the year for lack of funds. and the
average age of all these pavements
is now believed to be far beyond that
of any other municipality; aondi-
ton reflected, notwithstanding our
efforts to the contrary, by progress
sive deterioration in the safety and
comfort of their use. More liberal
funds for this resurfacing are plainly
needed"
An interesting feature of the report
is Mr.. Hunts statement that the paw
ing of alleys is now more in demand
than the laying of sidewalks, both of
which classes of work come out of
the same fund. Mr.. Hunt believes
the demand for paving alleys in ad-
vance of sidewalks is due to the rapid
suburban development and the in
crease in the number of alley ga
RACES. There is a community demand,
he said, for a larger annual allotment
for sidewalk and alley paving.
The rapid erection OF homes on
newly cut streets in the suburbs, the
enigneer continues, made it necessary
to spend a considerable part of the
lump sum for repairs to roads and in
laying temporary surfaces on these new
streets.
Approximately seven miles of these
new streets had to be temporarily
