SUPERVISION OF STREETS

Reeidente of cities, having Jarger and,

geaerally, ionger exper e€uce iD aireet pay ing than the average town, are becoming rocre 4nd more impressé€u Wilh the neces-

8! 7 for okilifalmanagement of this branch of public affairs. This ia the resn)t of the col er importance which is being attached to the care and construetion of streets, aud also to the opportunities for waste which are found to accompany improper and in- experienced management. Very few towns aod cities feel like increasing their rates of taxation; and raising, as they are, large sume of money apoually for street pur- poses, when this ie mirapplied with the result that streets are in a shocking!y bad condition, there is every res*ow for the taxpayer tofee] discouraged. rreet im- provement in most towns t+ piaced In the hands of a committee «f the con cil. The chairman is 4 retired farmer wh> has served his apprenticeship at stature labor —and who knows]! about town streets; his main object is to keep dows taxes, Avother member is & prowiveot tio~with, aad knows a)] about streets. Avober member bas been a grocer al! bisiife, bu kaows ail about streets. Aucther member of the committee is a lawyer, avd knows aj! about everything, streets sneluded. Another member is an insurance and rea) estate mao; he jikewise can give ® paving expert advice with regard to designing streets. Stil! another keeps a livery stable, has driven over the reads more than anyone else, and of course kaows better than anyone else, bow they should be made. In détails or principies, however trifling or important, it is remark- able how such a committee, composed of #0 many paring experte, are found to disagree. The ehairman is authorized to see that certain piece of work is per- formed. He gives the orders according to bis ideas, and the workmen appear on the scene. In the course of the day a mem ber of the council comes aloog to see that the chairman is making no mistake, fiods that the chairman is entirely wrong in his methods, aud the work is stopped until a special meeting o1 the committee cau be called together to wrangle over a matter on which nose have any reasonable or intelligent opinions. This is not a pleasant picture, bat it un-~ fortunately js true, more or lees, of she vast majority of public works committees. The iraprovement they undertake is merely patchwork, ill contrived, endeavoring to make town streeteas though ‘they were back concession roads.

The average committee man thinks there is very littleto know about streets, and consequently he knows it all. The reason men so often know all about sireeta, is be~ cause they do not know how much there is to know. It is a eubject on which engin~ eers have been experimenting and studying since A. D. 1—end previously—and still there is more for them to know. Volumes have been written on the subject, and still there ia more to write. If committees are still to carry on street construction, it is time eseh councillor should study the experience of those who have given it careful researeh from & scientific point of view, instead of evolving #0 much from bis inner consciousness, But councils are constantly chengine ; councillors are each year resigning or being defeated at the polls; many do not hold office for more than « year. Under such cireurnstances it cannot be expected that # councillor will be in a position to study the qaestion aso expert should.

As the importance, difficulty and require- ments of the matter beeome better under- stood, every municipality will have at its command the services of the local engineer to guide it. Most intelligent councillors have already learned the need of such aa officer. The people, however, have not yet quite learned that street improvement requires more scientific skill than the aversge councillor possesses. After a little more experience with the wasteful— ness of present methods, councillors will be able to engage the services of such an expert, without the almost certain danger of losing their (official) heads at the hands

of an outraged electorate.

A)l the above, which we quote from an | article by Archibald Campbell, C. B, Government Read Commissioner for Ontario, published by the Goed Roads Committe of the Canadian]Wheelman’s As- sociation, does not apply to Charlottetown or Prince Edward Island. We, of course, are always right in all things. In truth,

excellent work bas lately been done on our streeta, the only deubt about it being that it may not all be on the level and that some of it may have to be undone when ® competent engineer shall have been ebtainedto level and grade our streets sidewalks and roadways.
