City Street Committee An exceptionally active year in street work and other activities is reviewed in the following ex- cerpts from the report of Coun, J. D. Stewart, chairman of the street committeee, which was presented at Last night's annual meeting of the City Council: "The first. two months uf the year were not too difficult as. up until the 26th day of Febru- ary we were not called upon to use our snow fighting equip- ment, and, while this might seem to the person on the out- side as a period of idleness for ihc members of the street dc- pal-llnent, such was not the case. "During this period, summer equipment was overhauled and painted, some inside repairs made to our works building, along with this the employees of your street department were able, under the direction of Mr, Barnard Pruuty the City's carpenter, to complete the finish of the top floor of the City Building. This third floor of City Hail now affords a large room and two anic-rooms which are now being used for the 1101(I- ing of public meetings, etc. City Hall Improvements . ‘This work was followed by the addition of a‘ new room adjacent to the Police Department for pri- vate hearings of complaints, there- by filling a long felt want. An office for the Fire Chief was also constructed on the ground floor oi City Hall, and a basement stor- age room for the Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply. “These acquisitions are items chargeable to Public Property, Nevertheless, I felt I should men- tion ihem, as the construction was done by the members of the Street Department, during a per- iod when there was practically no activity on the streets. The interior of the building was rc- painted. This work was also done by members of the Street De- partment. “Charlottetown had its firs‘. heavy snow fall the latter par‘. of Felbruary, followed by another very heavy storm in March. These two storms were practical- 1y the extent of the winter snow fighting and cost the City some $5,500 as compared with $12150 lIl the previous year. We must again thank our Provincial Gov- ernment for the help given us by placing their equipment at our disposal. It was necessary, how- ever, 'to rent snow-loaders from M. F. Schurman Co. and from Mr. Brehaut. “I believe, if we are to give the necessary service to our taxpay- ers, we can only give satisfaction by having our own snow loader. The big problem of today is the removal of the snow lo allow for parking after the streets have been plowed. "In the early Spring there is always the. condition of clay and gravel streets being impassable. Ashes and gravel were used to the limit: but the condition is anything but good. It. will become worse as our source of ashes is practically non-existent. Many of the places where ashes were ob- tained are now using oil. The price of gravel together with in- creased freight rates does not justify the xpenditure for a job of such g temporary nature. "There is only,one solution, and that. is 1o pui down permanent nspllali. streets. In order to do this the sub-grade in many cases will require at least six inches of gravel, proper drainage, etc. To engage in any large scale pav- ing program can only mean an increase ill the tax rate to. pro- vide for interest and sinking fund requirement. Low Cost Paving "Your committee has been giv- ing considerable thought and study to the idea of 10w cost paving (such as RC-3 iasphialt and chips, which requires s firm dry base and sub-grade) as a reenedy for the present deplorable condition of many of our-clay or gravel streets. This type of payment has been quite successful on Govern- ment highways. In many of tile smaller towns in the Maritime: a low cost pavement hss proved s solution to conditions such as we encounter here in early spring and late isll. "Your committee would recour- mend to the incoming Council serious consideration of this mat- ter. and with this recommenda- tion the suggestion thdt some street be selected and used ss an experiment to ascertain the fess- ibility and coats. "At the first of Arpril the street sweepers were put to work, and with the power broom and sprink- ler, the street-s were soon clean- ed oi the accumulation of Will- tor refuse. At the same time, the clay and gravel streets were drag- ged with split. log. and when sufficiently dry were graded. "Following the clean-up of the streets, the sweepers were slot- ted their respective zones ior the season's work. The clay and gravel streets were kept in or- der by scarifylng, grading and rolling whenever and wherever necessary. “The annual street patching was started May 10th and was ,‘ ‘ ‘ June 4th. In this per- (The New Improved REGAL FliIUIi lnkeslhe "rpulliqht Itlii IIIHY iiiiiiiNiiiiiblliiri iod, there were exactly 20 work- lng days as compared with 194a (May Srd-Juiy 29th) 75 days, the number of men employed in 1048 being more than in i949, account- ed for by the operation of the new Hphllt plant not requiring so many. "After the patching had been completed, one block of old worn out asphalt topping on a con- crete bsse between Greet George and Queen on Euston was torn up and re-surfeced with an sl- phsitic sheet top. The south curb was broken out and relsid ll‘l a southerly direction, thus widen- ing the street six feet. A bladk base corresponding to the cement was used to fill" in the additional width. The whole area was done as an experiment. “This year s block will be re- surfaced without taking ofif the original worn out surface. When the costs have been detemlined and a test made as to the durabil- ity of these different blocks, then a resurfacing program for the City streets will be drawn up. Parking Areas st Premium “The yrs-r saw a still greater demand for parking areas not only to allow motorists a safety zone for their parked cars, but. to eliminate bottlenecks in traf- fic. To do this, the high curb on Queen Street from Kent to Eus- ton was cut off and the arca be- tween sidewalk and curb was made available. Also, on Great George Street. from Euston t0 Fitzroy. Prince Street in trout of Ziul Church and on Markai Street. These areas should be paved as soon as possible Gluing 1950. "Many catch basins were found to be not only in bod repair af- ter the winter frost, but also dan- gcrous, and the work of repairing ihem was carried out as rapidly as possible. The work in itself is of considerable size, when one considers that before the job has been completed, curb, espllalt-‘ic pavement and some 12 to l4 lay- c-rs of brick must be removed be- fore it is possible to reconstruct the damaged basins. "To replace brick, curb. etc. re- quired some 2,000 brick, 56 bags of cement, 12,000 lbs. of sand, 4,000 lbs. of gravel, 46 lengths of 12" sewer pipe, 6 lengths of 10" sewer pipe, and 4 lengths of l5" sewer pipe. “A l5" storm sewer was laid on the East of Cumberland Street from Richmond to Sydney, con- necting with storm sewer at the comer of Richmond and Sydney Streets. 95 lengths of 15" pipe were used, 28 lengths of 12", 1 bale of jute, 42 bags of cement, 2,000 bricks, and ti tons of sand. New Drainage "An entire new underground drainage system for surface wat- er was run from Brighton shore eastward to Brighton place to Ad- mirai street. Some 970 lengths of 15" storm sewer pipe and 40 lengths of 12" sewer pipe were used, also 7 bales of jute. In this new Illle 15 catch basins were constructed which used some i3,- 800 bricks and I95 bags of cement, and 20 ions of sand. “The excavation for this line 2,600 fcct In length, average depth of 9 feel, was done by M, F. Schurmalfs shovel, and the City bulldozer was used for back-fill- ing. Thus cutting down consider- ably on the labor cost. This work started on September" 28th and was practically completed October 29 This system drains an area of over i0 acres. "A corrugated steel culvert was placed at the intersection 01f Ad- miral Street and Crestwood Drive to eliminate a water pocket at the Northeast corncr oi the inter- section. “Tbe Alexander Drive from Orlefbar street Io Gerald street was coated with six inches of colic-go bridge gravel. and this has stood up exceptionally well un- der traffic during the wet Fall season. \ “A six to eight inch coating of gravel was also ia-id on Admiral street, Crestwood Drive, York Lane, and Upper Queen street from Douglas to the City limits. This lsllancl run-of-pit gravel does not. seem to be as satisfactory as the college bridge gravel used on Alexander Drive. However, the high freight rates make it con- siderably more costly than gravel trucked from our Island pits and delivered on the job. “Much gravel also was used to fill up pot-holes in new streets. and at the present time several of the older gravel and MacAdam streets have a subgrade now ready for ssphaltic base and topping. Sidewalks "The policy of replacing old and dangerous wooden sidewalks with cement ones. we feel, has been s move in the right direc- tion. “In the Spring, a new cement mixer was purchased st. cost of $1,933.00 where in the past years repairs on the old mixer, which was used not only for cement. but, 1n street patching were in excess cf $1,600.00. and some 6.- 428 lineal feet. of new sidewalk were laid. as ioilowsz-Kent Street, north side, Joining Fitzroy Street. a distance oi‘ 572 icci, width of sidewalk 3 1-2 feel.

The location of this FOR Tailoring and Alterations RITE - WAY - CLEANERS Phone 2887 An exceptionally busy year for the Department of Sewers and Water Supply, including opera- tion of the new pumping station at Union, is noted in the repori cf Commissioners W. D. Giills, J. L. Curran and Ii. Ii. Bevan, which was submitted at the annual meet- ing of the City Council last even- mg. The extension of mains for the Brighton Development on the Pcake and adjoining properties. plus the extensions made on Maple Street, were major undertakings and a large number of hydrants and main gates were installed. Details of this work are given in the report. Fifty-four premises were con- necked to the sewer system and fifty connected to the water sys- iem during the year; forty of these connections were to new houses. Routine testing of hydrants and gates and flushing of sewers was carried out in the spring and again in the fall and all properties and cquiplncnt controlled by the department were carefully at- tended to during the year. The usual practice of daily analysis of xvaier was carried on by the Provincial Health Depart- ment Laboratories. New l‘ mping Station Early in tile summer the new pumping station at Union was put into operation and results to date justify the statement that this has been s very successful de- velopment, Lire report states. The total expenditure to date for this new source of supply is $2461.87. There are some furtiur buildings to be erected and some minor ad- justments 1o be made before final cost figures will. be available, but work is as follows:- “It is necessary 1.0 replace worn out and broken sidewalk at the corner of Hillsboro Street and Kent Street. The sidewalk on Kent Street extended a distance of 114 feet and on Hillsboro from Kent south Bl feet. An area be- tween sidewalk and buildings oi 2,480 square feet was laid, and a parking area between sidewalk and buildings of 1,280 square feet. “A replacement in front of the Esquire store was made, for s distance of 36.4 feet by s t foot width, making an area of 145.6 square feet. “A replacement was made on Queen Street, at. the northeast cor- ner of Dorchester and Queen:— Dorchester Street, 29.7 feet by a 6.4 ff. vsridth Queen Street, 73.2 ff. by a 10.9 ft. width Queen Street 5.9 ft by a 5.3 ft width “Also on Dorchesier Street, south side, opposite Carter's —- s distance of 41.3 feet by s width of 7.9 feet. Also, the northwest corner of King and Prince Streets:- Primre Street, 17 ft by a 4.5 ft .wid.th; 30 ft by a 5 it width. King Street, 10 it by a 7 it width, "While it was the intention of your cpmmittee to replace broken and cracked sidewalks o-n the west side of Urea: George Street siding on tile Bank of Nova Sco- tia, and also on the north side of Euston Street between Elm west side of Great. George Street, owing to the lateness of the ses- son and the bed weather, these two particular joibs had to be held over un-til next spring. Street Intersections “To facilitate traffic movement, the mouth of Queen Street where it opens Into Euston, was widen- ed by the cutting sway of curb and re-laylng same on a much larger circumference circle. “This same procedure was em- ployed at Prince and Euston, and Upper Prince and Eusion, with the result that traffic at. these stop signs moves with more conveni- ence and this has eliminated a bottleneck at ih/eso intersections. “To allow proper drainage in the wet season and to eliminate toe catchers, it was necessary to raise lna-ny of our concrete side- walks. and while dieing this work broken blocks are taken out and new ones put in. "There are other items, such as trirruning trees, laying ash walks. cleaning ht! gutters along clay and gravel streets. which did take considerable time, labor and money, and which are. the dlgty; o! the Street Deparmvn-i, u are possibly not important enough to elaborate on.
