The annual report of City Engin- cer I*. H. Oldershaw for the past fis- cal year has been completed and is ready for presentation to the board of public works. The report gives an insight to the amount of work done by the city engineer's office, the greatest amount that has ever been done in the city. The report follows: “For the past few years the work of this department has been gradually ; increasing, and it is very evident that { the volume of work as accomplished in its various branches and details exceeds that of any previous year. The work, however, has progressed smoothly and all as ordered has been carried out successfully and accurate- ly. Notwithstanding the increase in the amount, the department has been able to successfully cope with the same. As we all know, there is no better investment a city can make than good roads, roads that will with- stand the wear and tear of present day traffic and require the least out- lay for maintenance. The daye df wa- ter bound macadam except on resi- dential streets of very light traffic have gone by and to build a road that will not ravel and disintegrate under the wear and tear of traffic and the destructive influence of the changes of weather and temperature, it is nec- essary to bind together the stone of metal of the macadam with some form of cement. This has been tried out on two sections of road work this year in the form of amiesite as laid on Franklin square and also on West Main street west of Black Rock bridge and has proven a complete success. Over a mile of this pave- ment was laid on these two streets. “During the year permanent pave- ment was laid on West Main street from High street to the bridge, thus putting West Main street in fine con- dition throughout its entire length, 9,665 yards of Mack brick and 7,659 feet of U. S. wood block were laid on this street by the Union Paving com- pany of Schenectady, N. Y., the work being done in accordance with plans and specifications for the same as drawn up by the city engineer and under his personal supervision. Dur- ing the year six streets were macad- amized and ten streets were graded to the officlal grade for the same. The matadamizing was helped along to a large extent this year by the fact that all the curbs were laid ahead of the work and thus the work was not delayed by waiting for curbs to be put in by delinquent property owners. ' This matter, in regard to curbs, should be the continued prac- tice of, the board, 80 that there may be o’ delay in macadam work when it is‘once started. “Two concrete bridges were built this ‘year ' to replace old wooden bridges, one on Stee:e street and one on McClintock street, the work being done by the Hall Construction com- pany according to plans and speci- fications drawn by the city engineer. Grades and lines were laid out by the engineering department whereby 26,019 feet of flag and concrete walks were laid on forty-one different streets 5,626 feet of walks have been relaid on twenty-one streets, feet of new curbs have been con- gtructed on thirty-four streets, 11,428 feet of’curbs have been relaid on four streets, 11,156 feet of streets have been graded and 6,196 feet of trolley tracks relaid to the official grade of the streets. During the year forty curb returns were laid at street intersections, where street im- provements were made or contem- plated. “This year has proven the banner year in regard to the amount of sewer work accomplished. Al] the work has lL.een done by local labor under the superintendency of , M. P. O'Brien. There have been built during the year 19,694 feet, or 3.73 miles, of sewers, «f which miles were sanitary sew- crs and the remainder storm water drains. These sewers were built in | eighteen different streets in the city and four rights of way. In their con- struction fifty-three "manholes and fifteen catch basins were built. Twemnty- seven catch basins and six receivers were constructed on old sewers and fourteen of the basins were built to replace old receivers, the remainder being new basins. All sewer work ae laid out for the season was com- pleted in full and surveys and plans have already been completed for lateral sewers on several streets for the coming year, but from the out- 1cok the sewer work will. not be as heavy as last year. During the year the remainder of the filter beds were overhauled and the underdrains were relaid. The work proved a success and has with- cut doubt added to the efficiency of the systern. Weir readings were under- taken at the beds this year and other data collected for use in studying the details of the system with regard to still further improving the efficiency of the filtration system. “There have been no extensions nade to the subway system this year, but a large number of laterals have been laid for the different companies occupying space in the subway. A large number of new laterals were necessitated by the new layout for street lighting and the same have been put in by the street department. *“The street numbering maps have all been brought up to date and all the streets on which hearings on re- numbering were held have been re- numbered in accordance Wwith maps for the same under the direction of the president of the board and city i vious 25,760 | engineer, so that our street number- ing system has been put on a correct basis, thus doing away with a large amount of _confusion from wrong hLouse numbering which formerly ex- isted on a number of our ' streets, | Property owners building new houses Goldwell's Tmperial Trawn [Mower Isn’t it about time to see if you don’t need a new Lawn Mower.

The American Car sprinkler company of Worcester, Mass., has the contract for sprinkling | those streets having trolley tracks, a total of 8.9 miles, and the Walker company of this city have the contract for the remainder of the streets to be sprinkled a total of 23.5 miles, making n all 32.4 miles. The state roads were oiled with a heavy asphaltic oil thix season and gave good results. A number of streets were oiled under pressure by a machine built for that purpose, and gave good satisfaction for the time heing, but this method requires more than one application for a season in order to give the desired 1l maps, grades and lines as re- quired by the water department in their work about the city were given the -department when needed.

The given and |the western section has been complete sewer accommodations already’ the sanitary conditions of j these sections have been brought to ,a perfect condition, thus enhancing the value of the property in these | sections and making sites for homes | more desirable and beautiful. Over ‘five miles of our streets have been |improved during the year, the work being done in every section of the {city. Over three miles were macud- {amized or properly paved, and over two miles were graded to an official grade. This is a record to ‘be proud of. and the work was accomplishéd with dispatch and accuracy and cer- tainly places the city on a higher | Plane in regard to the condition of its streets. “The street appropriation in this city compared to that of other cities i1s small and the work accomplished here with the appropriation allotted certainly shows good results. There is no doubt that the condition of our streets is being improved every year and with continued progress in this line we will soon be on an equal with ny city in this respect. One matter in regard to streets which should be given more attention is the upkeep and maintenance, after they have heen improved, thus prolonging the life of our streets at small cost.” The report closes by expressing { gratification with the harmonious | manner in which the work has been conducted and thinking the members of the hoard of public works and its | officials and also all the departments and officials of the clty government for their assistance and co-opera- tion.
