Honorable Mayor and Council,
City of WyandOtte.
Gentlemen:
With reference To the resolution Of
the Municipal Service Commission. dat
ed September 18th, 1888, regarding
WPA work. l beg to report as follows:
The approved application ON Paving
Projects bears the following deScrip-
ton: Improve streets and alleys in
the City OF WyandOtte, Wayne County,
by excavating. grading, laying concrete
pavement and cinder surfaces. con-
concrete curb and headers,
installing catch basins, laying storm
sewers, removing and relaying side
walks and performing all appurtenant
work, exclusive Of projects specifically
performing all appurtenant work
covers the work referred TO in para
graph Il" of the resolution.
In the Oak Street Project the ap-
proved application bears the following
Project involves moving back
of Fire Hydrants, Poles, Street Lights,
Gables, Fire Alarm Boxes, ETC."
Paragraph y refers 70 WPA labor
being supplied TO the Municipal Service
This labor has been supplied when
ever asked for by the Department.
Paragraphs "a are answered in the
above explanations.
This Resolution was probably prOmp-
ted by complaints Of the Engineering
Department to the Municipal Service
Department with regard to their COM
plete lack of cooperation in any inter-
department matters. The main com
plant being the policy Of the Water
Department to wait until Streets are
fine graded and forms set
for concrete before any attempt is
made by said Department to determine
what changes they deem necessary on
the Street. This, practice, in great
many cases, holds up progress on street
pavement and causes additional expense
TO pavement projects.
The Municipal Service Department
has had plans on the first ten streets
TO be paved several months before
work was started.
All the labor for moving cables and
hydrants on Oak Street and on Tenth
Street was supplied by WPA, and has
never been refused when requested.
This Department has been receiving
constantly from the Wayne
County Road Commission about the
practice of the Municipal Service Com
mission continually holding up progress
ON Oak Street by ripping things mp af-
ter preparation Of the street for con-
creting.
j further wish to call your attention
to the complete lack Of cooperation of
the Municipal Service Commission de-
partments In the matter of permits for
excavating In streets and alleys. In
most instances all the Engineering De
partment gets Is a letter telling of in
then when inspection
is made by the Utilities Inspector he
finds that the work has been cOmnlet-
ed.
This practice Is directly contrary to
the understanding between your Hon.
orable Body and the Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
- f. w. Liddle,
City Engineer.
