Discovered! a Good Way to Have Streets Fixed

How to get your street resurfaced whether the property owners want it or not Las been shown by the board of public works. Take your street out where the board members will have to drive over it. Property owners in New Jersey street between Twenty-Fourth street and Fall Creek protested it did not need resurfacing. all it needed was some patching. “It's the opinion of the board and its engineer that that street is very badly iu need of resurfacing,” said President Charles E. Coffin. “We're anxious to get our streets all in good condition.” Patching would put New Jersey street in good condnlm, insisted the property owners. ‘‘Have you been over the city and have you found any worse street than this one?'' Inquired William IX. Freeman, Republican member of the board. "Yes,” answered the mere property owner. ”1 wish you'd bring it to our attention. I live out there and I drove over this street every day until it got so bad I had to go another way." TO STANDARDIZE CITY BOARDS IS PLAN DISCUSSED Would Have Works and Safety Boards on Same Basis as Others. • A movement to place the boards o{ • public works and public safety upon the same membership basis as the boards of park commissioners anil public health is under way. Merle N. A. Walker, former city attorney and counsel for contractors who have business with the board of public works, said today. Mr. Walker said he and two or three other intended persons hope to have the next Legislature change the law so thenwill be four members n? the works ami safety boards instead of three. A-s in the park and health boards, two would be Democrats and two Republicans and one would be named each year, so terms would expire iti rotation. ! “That would be putting the hoards on the most efficient basis possible," said Mr. Walker. “As it is now we change board members every four years Just when we get a s- t of men trained in the work we let them go. That’s wasteful • for the city. “I have wanted the board of works changed this way for some time. The Jetwrtf. board had things the v.ay they wanted and wouldn't listen to us. but I think the present administration Is fa\ >ralde to the change. “If the change had been made as I wanted years ago the city could have saved $2,000,000 on the track elevation project because the same -et of officials very likely would have had charge • throughout. "Undoubtedly a board whose members •lid not all come in and go out un-d-r th>- same administration would be more interest.d In the city's work than in any particular st of political employes.” The law providing for nppointm. at of park and health board members one a year for four year- did not work out -u. •■■•-sfiiliy when Mayor Shank came it-to office. Mr. Shank publicly announced he would ask f-r th- resignations of th- b>.rd members then serving in the Jewett administration If they did not voluntarily r-sgn. Befo-v the' ra-w mayor came in both boards s >t out although thro* members of e.e h bad from o’." to litre.- years left in tb-dr b-ruiv Mr. Shank appointed {-entirely new boa:-is.

The property owners filed a remonstrance which they said bore signautres of two-*thirds those affected, but the j boaid confirmed the resolution. .Some of the curb stone being distributed for the new pavement of Wash- ! ington boulevard near Fifty-Second ! street looks worse than concrete, O.

Mr. Shat tuck ' didn’t think the board was getting the j city’s money's worth on the stoneProperty owners In Delaware street be- j tween Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth street had better luck than their neigh- | hors on New Jersey street. The lJela- | ware residents opposed resurfacing he- j cause they thought the pavement would j be torn up when the street is widened and i the bridge built over Fall Creek as la ) proposed. The board postponed action i until Wednesday.
