Close attention has been paid to the matter of patching those streets of recent construction.
The advantage of having two steam rollers has made it possible to organize a patching gang on a somewhat extensive scale, thereby covering the principal streets in two or three days. In addition to this, a patrol was organized which has done efficient work in keeping up the wearing surface of tar macadam.
The total cost of maintaining the stable teams for the year 1914 was $7,815.90, the average cost of maintenance per working day being $1.69 per horse.
The value of the property controlled by the Highway Division January 1, 1915, amounted to $18,733.92, classified as follows:
Horses, vehicles, machinery and tools $14,692.18
Buildings and appurtenances 2,472.30
Material available for new work 1,569.44
In addition to the above, material and equipment in charge of the Highway Division owned by the Street Watering Division, amounts to $1,298.20.
