Mr., Willlams pointed out that considerable expense in the hiring of teams, etc., could be saved by the purchase of this more modern equip- ment, He showed where a caterpillar tractor with a snow plow attached would expedite the opening of streets to traffic following a severe snow storm. Sexton, Gilbert, Clark and other hill streets, were mentioned as places where a tractor of this type could push a plow and clean the streets. 1923 Year of Experience “We have learned a lot of things about removing snow this year,” com- mented Mr. Williams, to which A. N. Abbe replied, “I don't doubt that in the least.” Mr, Williams said the tractor could clean out gutters by dragging a plow. It would go quickly through streets filled with snow where men and teams must shovel their way. The tractor could be used the en- tire year around, It would take the place of teams in ripping up the sur- tace of streets for macadamizing dur- ing the summer and it would reduce the expense of road building and grad- ing to such an extent that the expense of operating it would be less than the cost of teams and men for the same Job, Mr. Williams pointed out. Rented Shovel For $1,200 The shovel arm would be attached to the sewer excavator and would save considerable labor in doing the heavy cutting and shallow grading during the usual construction work of thé summer and would do snow shov- eling in the winter. There is a cater- pillar tread on the excavator which would convert that machine into prac- tically a regular steam shovel. This winter the city found it necessary to pay $1,200 rent for one steam shove! to open a passage through the snow on Stanley street. This would be re- duced materially if the city owned its own shovel. Mr. Williams also stated that the purchase of the tractor and | the shovel arm ought to save the city upwards of $1,500 on one item alone. The attitude of the board appeared to be very favorable toward the pur- chase. W1In explaining the item for $550 for new trees and $500 for cutting and trimming trees, Mr. Williams most of this work is confined to re- placements on old poplar trees which are causing trouble in the sewer sys- tem. $10,000 For Removing Snow In asking for an appropriation of $10,000 for the removal of snow and ice, he stated that this has been the most expensive year for this class of work in the history of the city. To date the city has spent $18,000 for this one item. The largest item, prior to this was $12,000, while one winter it cost but $1,500, Oppose East End Park W. F. Brooks, Postmaster W. F. Delaney and Ralph C. Wainwright ap- peared for the park budget. Mr. Brooks explained that the park com- mission had been instructed by the council to ask for an appropriation of $15,000 for the construction of an East End park. The park commis- sioners did not think it wise to spend this amount of money for a park at the east end, he stated, because it is proposed to ask for a bond issue of $50,000 for the Stanley Quarter park this year. He explained that main- tenance of property and skating at the Stanley Quarter park would cost $1,460, and an additional appropria tion of $1,000 would be required if there is swimming there this sum- mer, Swimming is out of the question un- less the bond issue is passed, the lake bottom cleaned out and filled for four to six inches with sand and the profile of the lake adjusted properly. There also would have to be some provision made for an increased amount of clean water. This could be taken care of by running in some city water. Believes Playground is Wanted Mr. Brooks explained what a beau- tiful park the city will have at Willow Brook park when it is finished. He referred to the proposed east end park by stating that what he thought was wanted there was a playground and not an athletic park. There are & number of small parks about the eity which ean be fixed up for nlay—[ 'gv'nds. he said, but they will require s inces, so as to prevent the publie from making thoroughfares across the - lawn. .
