upon.
lour Sire, t Committee desires Io

ih. total amount of money appro-priated
for Btreel purposes, -viz:
84000 is totally Inadequate to even put
Ihe street! inn condition safe tor trav-el
and slips should he taken hy Coun-cil
to Increase this amount In time to
in available for street work this year,
Io fio.ii |15,0M Io $20,000.
while most of the money required
fur the Nobltl contract for Kim street,
. iiii-il and Spring Mill avenue Is pro-vided
I'or. it will require an additional
$1000 to complete this work—this
amount being needed for Waterway!
at Poplar street and some additional
. xpense on North Klin street.
Street sprinkling should he made a
.Municipal function, not only for the
..union of our householders, hut to
preserve our sir ts and S-I00i) Bet
aside for this purpose.
Additional macadamising in the
First Ward on Hector Stnit. Front,
Third and Fourth uvenues is needed.
In the Second ward Klin street, Basl
I.I Harry Street, Hector street, from
Main io Hie Baal borough line, Spring
.\llll avenue an.I Harry si reel should
he lopped dressed with a hard material
nnil a proportion of II macadamised.
in the Third ward. Forth and Fifth
avenues should he macadamized from
I ayelie street to Spring Mill nveenne.
snm top dressing applied to Spring
Mill avenue and Harry street In this
ward top dressed,
In the Fourth ward a portion of
Sixth avenue should he top dressed:
f.u rest Btreel recently opened should
b! graded and mule passable; Tenth
avenue graded from Fayette street to
Forrest
In the Fifth ward Sixtli ui.'ini.
should he improved from Fayette
Street to Spring Mill avenue: Seventh
and Eighth avenues, from Fayette to
Wefts Street; Ninth avenue graded
and some grading done on Wells street.
If the Fayette street paving is done,
i Ins alone will require about 84000;
Fayette Street from Spring Mill ave-nue
Io ihe llorough Line, now 111 fair
condition, must lie maintained.
Several Block crossings over streets
should he put In, particularly nt Sixth
avenue anil Fayette Street,
if these ninny Improvement! wan
completed, it would he lean expensive
to keep our str.i'ts In condition, he-sides
making our town more attrac-tive,
In order Io have these iniprovcinenls
made we suggest Io Council to have
issued tiie Duplicate of IBM, aa soon
as possible, ami the mi proceeds
therefrom, after providing for the
sinking Fund, set apart for street Im-provements,
W. are abOUt one year in aricais 111
the collection of our taxes. I!iul dupli-cate
is being used to defray ihe appro-priations
of 1002. The 1901 duplicate
can lie used as herein suggested and
1101 Duplicate used to defray the ap-propriation!
of I80S.
We think this would lie much more
acceptable to our cltissni than borrow-ing
more money, and would allow your
si net Committal to make many IHT-manenl
Improvements.

'I'll.' lirsl hOUSe visited was that of
Dr. Beaver. His daughter had been
