Mr. Cralg told of the work which was In prospect for the coming year and outlined the polioy of his department on paving, sidewalks and sewers. “Hereto- fore we have had less to do with, but Omaba is no longer a village, and we must pave and put in sewers for the future. “Since 1 went into office I have never asked a thing of the city councll which was not granted, and we expect to do u vast amount of work this year. Our first idea is to glve attention to the downtown distriet. Heretofore money spent for re- palrs has been practically thrown away, but under the present law we may con- demn pavements and order the streets re- puved. This has been done on nearly all the downtown streets, and within the next slx months all the business district will be | repaved. “Last year downtown sidewalks to the amount of 150,000 square feet were fixed | up in two months, and of this amount the city was compelled to do but 2,000 square feet. Expect to Make Great Saving. “In the asphalt repair department we expect to make a grest saving by using all the old material.

Already there 1s a large pile of materfal walting to be crushed. Lack of funds has kept down repairs in the past and today we have practically the same appropriation we had twenty years ago, While we now have five times as much pavement. “Omaha has $600,000 worth of paving in sight, $150,000 left over from last fall and $150,00 new work. Tn addition, we have petitions started nearly every” day for new work. “Delays caused by the city government are a thing of the past as far as the work this year s concerned, as we have every- thing ready for work as soon as the frost is out of the ground. ‘““Two large trunk line sowers are con- templated to relieve, congestion. . One from Fifteenth to Twenty-fifth street on Burt and one along the Unlon Pacific tracks to the Twenty-fourth street viaduct.
