CITY PUBLIC WORKS

Following was the report of work under supervision of City Surveyor H A Messervey for the past year. Included in the report are activities unricr the heading of building inspection. u branch of the City Surveyors duties.

Street Department

During the winter season, the usual snowplowing was done, thus keeping the streets clear for traf- fic. The sidewalls also were plow- ed with horse-drawn plows after every snowstorm, and when they became slippery. sand was applied when required. In the spring, sum- mer and autumn, the usual street services of sprinkling. cleaning. sweeping etc.. were performed. Th- City shade trees were trimmed as required and sprayed with in- sectlclde to keep them free from caterpillars and other harmful parasites.

Clay Streets

The clay streets throughout the City were kept in good conditicm by scarifying, grading and rolling.

Gravel Streets

These streets were also kept in good condition by the use of the scarifyer, roller and grader. Fresh gravel and ashes were applied wherever they were needed.

Asphalt Streets

Very extensive atching and re- pairs were carrie out where re- quired. It is to be noted that, as some of the asphalt streets have now been laid for various periods in the neighbourhood of twenty years. increasingly large areas are wearing out each year. For this reason the amount of patching and replacement. of the asphalt surface required to be done h like- ly to increase annually. and may soon be beyond the capacity of our present equipment economically to handle

CAONCRETE SIDEWALKS

Repairs were made to the con- crete sidewalks by the City work- men where required, cracked and broken slabs being replaced when it was necessary to do so.

Strecf. Maintenance

During the year 1939 labor and material ln connection with strwt. maintenance have cost the city the sum of 831045.77.
