CITY LEDGE, HOLLAND STREET AND BROADWAY.
REPORT OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER.
OFFICE OF THE STREET COMMISSIONER, January 1, 1904.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-
I herewith present to you the twenty-eighth annual report of the highway department, which covers the work performed dur- ing the year ending December 31, 1903.
The question, how to make and how to maintain good streets, is constantly being agitated by the public as one of the most important concerns of the highway department.
During the past years miles of streets have been dug up for sewers, and for laying water, gas and various other kinds of pipes.
Tunneling under paved driveways and street crossings ought never to be allowed where the tunnel is more than six inches in diameter ; and when borings are made for pipes the bore should be made only large enough to allow the pipe to be put in position. From my experience it can safely be said that it is impossible to refill a horizontal tunnel so that the pavement over the trench will not settle and require repairs which make extra expense for the department.
Street Openings.
The condition in which streets are left after the work of lay- ing water, sewer and gas pipes, replacing poles and laying under- ground wires, demands attention. In making water service and sewer connections, the relaying of pavements by unskilled work- men destroys the streets more than all the ordinary wear to which they are subjected.
What is the best plan to adopt in these cases?
The various departments and companies making such open- ings should be obliged to do all work of this description under the supervision and to the satisfaction of the street commissioner, with the exception of repaving, which ought to be done by the street department, the entire cost of the same to be paid by the de- partment or company making the opening.
Street Cleaning.
Pressing demands for cleaner streets are constantly being brought to our attention, and the accumulation of rubbish, waste paper, tin cans and shop bills has increased to such an extent that we have been called upon to increase the force of patrol men, this system giving great satisfaction.
There are four sweeping machines, one Barnard scraper, two Mentzer cleaners, and eleven small hand carts for use in this branch of the work.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
Street Watering.
Only accepted streets can be watered under the law providing for assessment of the cost of said watering upon the abutters, and when private streets are watered the cost of same must be paid in advance by the abutters.
In this department are thirty-one carts, three of which have been purchased during the year. The work is let out at a uni- form price of eighty-five dollars per month for each contractor, who provides two horses and a driver, said contractor being re- quired to keep all the streets in his district properly watered at all times.
This force is under the direction of an assistant during the street watering season, and the city is divided into districts cor- responding to the number of carts, each district averaging about two miles of streets.
City Ledge.
The work of removing the stone from the Holland-street ledge between Holland street and Broadway is fast nearing its end and by the close of another year the supply will be nearly exhausted.
Stone Crusher.
The stone crusher has been kept constantly at work during the year, but has not been able to supply the demands for stone, 16,440 tons having been crushed. Besides this, the city has pur- chased 1,304 tons, all of which has been used on the streets.
