Construction Work by Oity

There was no street pavement done in the city during the Y9K! 1940, but the usual maintenance and repair work was carried on, it was learned from Mr. H. A. Mes- ggrvy, city iEngineer. However, concrete was laid for several side- walks and parking spaces.

A concrete sidewalk was placed on the west nan of upper H1115- borough street for _a distance of 69 feet from the existing walk.

Probably the largest project in the street department was the paving of several parking apacee between the street and sidewalks

By the n ' 1c of April. the grass was wing green. A foot of snow fell b l April 20th and 221d and this rm, which blocked highways, rrmiiiicri a week and gave protec- tion to plants from spring frosts.

At the Experi- mental Station, heavy fields of clov- er up to 7 l-4 tons of green hay per acre, were cut and put in the silo. The hay crop was above average and pastures remained in excellent con- dition throughout the summer. Banner oats were cut August 12th. and the early sown grain gave yields above average and was saved in perfect condition. The August rainfall was much below average but occasional showers were bene- ficial for pastures. September was wet with a total rainfall of 8.05 inches: the greatest recorded for September in 40 years and more than double the average for the years mentioned. A heavy wind storm udth rain from the 10th to 18th of September, did much damage to orchards and farm crops. This and continued wet weather, made havesting conditions very difficult and considerable vgjain was spoiled in some districts. e rain- fall for October was below average

City Police Activities During 1940

Arrests made during the year 1940 by the Cit Police Force w- talled 495. Chef of Police A. Blrthwhistie said in a review of the years activities. This figure shows a decrease of 50 in the total for i039 which in turn was de- creased by 21 over the previous year.

As usual the single offense which was responsible for the lnr est number of visitors to the "coo er" was drunkenness. There were 322 drunks taken in by the police dur- ing the year as compared with 326 in 1939.

vagrauts arrested this year over that o.’ the previous twelve-month period was revealed On this charge, 64 persons were

charged with the same offense. Police were coiled on to make 22 arrests or persons who were charg-

motor vehicles. This was a decline of eight arrests on a similar charge in 1939. _

_Thleves were less active in the city during the year as the figures reveal a tolal of l1 arrests for this rlaézfirénse as compared-with 29 in

One case of homicide occurred in the city during i940, was stated in the review. no traffic fatalities occurred were reported.
