The automobile travel from the North Shore to the South Shore increased so rapidly on Webster avenue and Walnut street, that the City Government made these streets, or portions of them, one way streets going south and' Franklin street one way north, this has divided the travel going through our city and is a great improvement over the old way, as it saves conges- tion on these streets and makes them safer for pedestrians.
301
STREET COMMISSIONER.
During the war period prices were so high the Mayor and Aldermen thought it unwise to spend large sums for streets and sidewalks, so for the last few years only necessary work was done.
Now that prices of road materials are on the decline I hope the City Government will make a goodly appropriation the coming year for street work.
Roads and pavements of every type require repair and maintenance. A patching gang, using mostly "Tarvia K. P." have patrolled the streets repairing any defects they might find. The results have been satisfactory. "A patch in time saves nine."
Late this year a "Little Wonder" mixing machine was purchased for mixing "K. P."
Good streets are being demanded especially since the introduction of the automobile, and the Highway Department is doing its utmost, as far as the appropriation will allow, to meet these demands.
