Map Plans for Summer
Street Repair Program
(Concluded from page 1)
gram entailing the expenditure of
approximately $2,500 will be pre
sented for the approval of muni
cipal council at its next meeting by
Street Commissioner H. L. Coon.
Now engaged in making a survey
of work most urgently required
Coon wall go over projected plans
with the street committee of the
council before submitting his recom
mendations.
With street repair materials at
peak prices and municipal funds
cramped by shortages, the summer
improvement program will be a re
stricted one, the mayor said this
week, and only urgently needed
work will be included in the street
commissioner’s proposals.
Owe
for
Cherry Street
The mayor pointed out that one
factor limiting what might other
wise be a broader program is the
necessity of starting to retire a debt
of more than $3,000 incurred four
years ago in re-surfacing Cherry
street from Main street to the Nick
el Plate railroad. Since that time,
only one small payment has been
made on retirement of the debt.
At the same time that the street
commissioner is making plans for
this summer’s improvements, town
workmen are nearing the completion
of an extensive street patching pro
gram.
Streets and roads suffered severe
damage last winter and the work
occasioned on the town’s hard-sur-
faced thorofares has been much
greater than usual, the street com
missioner said.
