The1 years prior to tha Lewis Clark fair in 1905 saw an increase In money expended until it was $8,478,230 at th end. of the fair year. From .that tune expenditures Increased until the peak was reached In 1911 with an annual ex- nenditnre of S7.S77.652. .After that date a gradual oecrease is noted, .particularly so during the time or the World war. In 1919 but XCTe.. 422 was spent, while tha expenditures of the following year were approximate ly 10 time as much or, to be exact. 82.313 25L During the present fiscal year, end ing November 30, the1 record shows the work completed and formally accepted up to November 1. At that time' street Improvements amounting to $1,118,286.18 had been accented. This was lor some 25.2 miles of paving, curbing, sidewalks and grading. Of the work, approxi mately one third was done by the mu nicipal paving plant - The major project or tmsaperloa was tha - improvement of East Thirty-ninth street from Francis street to wood- stock avenue. . This project opened a thoroughfare .extending entirely across the city from the south- to north boun daries. The cost of the Improvement was 833,471.79. In addition to crossing the city this street bow affords aa out let to tha Woodstock district ana the entire southeastern section of the city. The department is considering the Im provement of Burn side street on both sides of the river to make a street ex tending across the town in an easterly and westerly direction. The project calls for the widening of the Street to 80 feet. Another major project of street improvement under consideration is that of Interstate avenue. It is proposed to open the southern end of the street to afford access to Larrabee street and the Broadway bridge, thereby opening an automobile street from the south end of the Derby street approach to the Interstate bridge to the center of the business district. . Trunk sewers extending' some 7.1 miles have been finished during the year, the report shows. Included In this are the East Thirteenth, Vancouver, Albina and Delaware avenue trunk systems. The total mileage in all sewers laid Is 69.1 and the cost is 81.663,908.47. This brings the coat of street and sewer Improvements for the firsjt 11 months of the fiscal year to 82,782.194.65. The cumulative cost since 1875 is t43.187J23.65. Work Is now. being done on the Foe ter- road sewer, the Columbia slough channel and plans are being drawn for building the Oregonlan avenue trunk system.

A. L. Barbur, commissioner of public works, stated Saturday afternoon. "Front street in that district is un improved, save for the planking put In by agreement with the various lumber mills along the etreet Barbur said. "The Emerson people have planked one half of the street the half upon which their plant faces, and have re fused to approve an assessment for planking the remainder. "The company allows 'freight cars to stand on the track in the center of the street and block traffic on that side. forcing the machines to plough through a veritable morass of mud and muck on the west side of the street That street will be used for heavy traffic from now on, for several concerns are building establishments north of the Emerson plant and the street is the only outlet they have. "In a conference with Captain Lewis of the traffic department and the city I attorney, it was decided that no cars should be allowed to. stand on the tracks unless the west half of the street is made passable." .
