OF CITY WILL f
BE GLEANSFD
Thorough Inspection to be
Made; Streets Will
Be Graded
A thorough inaneotion and' syste
matic cleaning of all the city's sewer
mains an undertaking unprecedented
m tno history oi Eugene is now in
urogresK and will be com tile led in
ubout four weeks according to (!. A.
LeVan, street connnisNiouer and for
seventeen years a resident of Kugene,
who is RUpcnutemliug the work.
Also. Kugene is to en toy better
macadam streets than ever before!
1 he city has recently purchased a
$,1500 Uussel scarifying grader which
turnisiies adequate means tor orenK
ing un the gravelled surfacing and
at the same time grading the street
an desired.
Streets In Condition
Clark, Monroe, and First streets
have been put in condition with t he
machine. Aa soon as the rains soften
the surfacing sufficient for the most
satisfactory operation of the scarifier.
Madison, West Eighth, nnd Chambers
out to the aviation field, will be
graded into shape. Then Twelfth and
all other macadam streets on the west
and east sides will be gone over. This
some conditioning will be repeated
once or twice during the summer
months. If the weather permits this
work ought to be completed within
six weeks, said the commissioner.
The aviation field is to bo improved
in connection with this work by grad
ing and surfacing in a new driveway.
Former System Improved
Heretofore it has been the practice
of the street department to investi
gate, clean, or repair the sewer mains
as -complaints ciimc in. .The grading
of the streets has been merely a pro
cess of scraping loose material into
the chuck holes only soon to be dug
out again by traffic.
The extent of Ihe present equip
ment of the street department
amounts to $17,717, including ihe new
markers recently purchased which are
to replace the painted lines onfl Wil
lamette street between Sixth and
Eleventh. They consist of white
square metal plates so molded that
the four corners fit down into the con
crete. They are to be placed
twelve inches apart the length of the
yellow marks. Four inverted bowl
like dividers will be set in the centers
of the intersecting streets within the
limits specified.
Markers Economical
"The total cost of these markers,"
said Mr. LeVan, "was about $400 but
they will be much more economical
than the old ones because they are
permanent. It costs the city $10 every
time the yellow markers are repainted
which should he one n moinh."
The city paving plant will open up
May 1. hut. the prediction is thai a
great, deal of pavement repair work
and new paving will not be done as
this work is fairly welt caught- up it
is believed. The budget of ihe street
department is fixed at $JJ.0(H) out
of which comes- the salaries, wages.
asphalt repnir work, and improve
ment expenditures. The cost of all
new paving is assessed to the prop
erly owners under the Itaneroft act.
After a petition has been submitted
and passed upon, the owners are
notified when itie worn is oegun. men
nfrpr completion another notice is
sent out and it is within ten days
after receipt of the second notice that
the first of ten payments covering
the total assessment is to be mnae
