l tamp the fills instead of water tamp. ing as at present, they should also be required to watch these fills after they are made and see that the sur face Is kept level with the street, rather than leaving high ridge as at present which later sinks below the level of the street forming a trench or a soft mud hole. Your committee feels that this item s squarely up to the inspectors and others connected with the board of public works and that such defects in our paved streets are entirely un- necessary.
 The budget carries the following items that apply directly 10 the re- pairs of this class of streets: Ma cadam repair. $1S,0OO: oiling of streets. $20.700: semi-permanent pavement repairs. $lO,S00. Total, s49.000.
 Further Recommendations
 Tn the interests of economy and for the purpose of making available all funds possible for streets, your committee recommends:
 T. That more judicious and economical use be made of the shed room at the store yard so that all Of our machinery can be stored. This will save the s5S7 per year that We are now spending for outside storage. It will probably be neces- sary to build more shed room which can be done very cheaply by build ing onto the north side of the pres- ent shed and making the present back wall do for both.
 ". That the job of store yard foreman be done away with, his duties are somewhat vague and of doubtful importance and we feel that the s1.700 or thereabouts spent on this job can be used to better

 Recommendations and Suggestions
 With reference to the dirt streets your committee recommends the fol- | lowing:
 The gathering up Of all cinders rom th" public schools Of New Brit ain and all other available sources and applying them to the dirt streets, after the streets have been scrapcd and graded. the cinGnrs to be rolled down with q steam roller.
 During those months of the year when it >would not be advisable to spread them they would be stored on available city property until used. r.
 In tllis connection we find that our public schools use 5000 tons of coal per year and the cindcrs thus made are hauled away under a con- tract with private parties that costs our city $500 per year. Our school board states that an attempt was made while Mir. Conlon was chair
New Britain herald., 1928-04-19

man of the board of public works (
 have the city haul away these cin. ders for use on city streets but the
 idea was never carried out to an,
 great extent.
 Your committee is prompted to
 make this recommendation because
 of the cheapness of cinders as com- pared with other material, the pos
 sibility of saving the city $500 ex-
 pense and the better results already
 obtained by use of cinders rather
 than crushed stone on some of our
 dirt sereets. We noticed several i places around the city where one or the other had been used and the
 Cinders produced by far the best re- suits.
 We recommend the purchase of
 |. o-ton truck to handle these cin-
 ders and for other general purposes,
 and a Fordson tractor with scraper
 attached. to assist in the grading
 and turnplking, this machine needs 1 but one operator, is speedy and 1 easily handled and with the assis- tancc of our present flame duck" 1 tractor, would be able to cover all
 of our dirt streets during season. "The above program would be subject 10 changes and alterations as progress was made but your com- mittee believes that if an honest ef- fort is made to carry out this or any similar program we will find our selves within year or two blessed with dirt streets that are passahle 12 months in the year.
 'The 1928 budget carries the fol- lowing items: General repair of streets. S27,Ooo; new tools and re- pairs s11,oo0: grading, s13.50o; stonins travelled ways. s45,00o; autos. s3,500. Total Sl00,0 900.
 We feel that out of this amount enough can be used advantageously in carrying out the above program.
 For our emi-permanently paved streets or macadam we recommend that no such streets be oiled until they have been levelcd and made smooth as possible. This can be done by the use of drag or shaving ma chine, heavily weighted and hauled behind a truck. This drag slaves off the tops of the ridges and tends to fill up the hollows and can be made by a carpenter and black i smith in very short time It is used extensively by the state high way department.
 We recommend that an aIl-the- l year-round program of filling up pot 1 holes be carried out. weather and 1 ground conditions permitting, and 1 that q number of light trucks be | or hired for this purpose. 1 Your committee realizes that only ! by making this item of repairs a regular job and keeping everlasting Iy at it with the proper equipment, ran we hope to have macadam streets that are safe to ride over. These trucks should patrol over reg nlar routes and plan to cover the 'ntire b5 miles a certain number of lines each year. Beyond help in loading VIC do not feel that extra help on these trucks would be neces- 'ary after the patrol had been well established and the first big effort made. r.
