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 Rscitation, - The Story or Cl1rist_ mas Erwin Jenkins.

The total prvoipitaiion for ihcs: three months was 7 3-4 inches and was three inches 185s than a [arty year average There was, scarcely" any frost in the ground so that (h? water soaked in with little 1'1 0.1 as the snow melted. 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. C l' and alfalfa wintcreci ex- cep ally wcli and made a good .~t.:.1't in April. Work on the land was commcucari at the Experimental Sin May 2nd, but seeding did no. ‘t uatil May 11th. 1940.

Com planted June 8.11 zuade vcry slow growth and was not as vigorous as seed planted two weeks later. Snowery weather continued the first two weeks in July milking early hay- making impossible. 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 E 2 . gave a frost free period of 1'11 days in 1940; and has only be oeeded once (1928) in thirty-one years.

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.
