1716 Report of the City Manger, continued. To the Common Council and Board of Aldermen, Gentleman: Instead of limiting my financial report, whihc is herewith attached, to a statement of expenditures and appropriations for just one quarter I have given the total expenditures for the six months and the appropriations for the year and then recorded the balance of appropriation for each department. STREETS. On the financial statement you will notiec that I have cut the appropriation for regular maintemance work for streets $500, I am satisfied that a reorganization of the maintenace force and the use of the trash truck, together with the use of another horse drawn truck, which I have fixed up, will save that amount per quarter. The acquisition of the trucks should enable use to dispose of two regular wahons and four horses. However, I do not advocate disposing of these horses at this time. I think they ought to be kept and used on a grading force. To supplement the regular appropriation for street department, I recommend that $12,000. be borrowed and expended as follows: - $6,5000. for building a concrete road on the Free Bridge Road from Lpcust Avenue to corporation line; $500. for the purchase of drain pipe, and $5,000. for rough grading, draining and crowning all the important dirst streets. Mr. Wayland J. Hayes was the successful bidder on the stable manure. Price 77 cents per two horse load. GAS. The work on the six inch gas main on Preston Avenue, together with connecting branch lines, has been completed, and the Belmont Line will be competed in a few days. A total of 3586 feet of six, four and two inch maine has been laid during the past quarter. This is exclusive of the Belmont Line. Number of services renewed 6; New services 2. The new retort at the Gas Plant has been installed. WATER. SEWER. CEMETERY. FIRE. And I recommend, for immediate action, the voting of a $200. appropriation for the purchase of two dozen pyrene fire extinguishers to be placed in the public buildings owned by the city and in the houses of those members of the fire company who live some distance from the central station. This will give the fireman, living in a distant part of the city, something to fight a fire with if the fire breaks out in his neighborhood.
