STREET DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF STREET COMMISSIONER.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council :
In submitting this report covering a little less than nine months of the last fiscal year, that being the time during which I have been in charge of the street department, I feel that it is nothing more than justice to your honorable body and my- self to state that it was quite late in the season when I took charge of the department ; that the streets of the city were in an unusually bad condition owing to the severity of the preceding winter ; that there had been no attempt made to repair the outside roads except in one place in Ward 6, where quite a large sum of money appears to have been expended on a short piece of road and that owing to these causes and the fact that the loss of considerable time was unavoidable in organizing and laying out the work, a large amount of work had to be done in hot weather, when it not only cost more than it ought but did not give nearly as good results.
