Commerce directors, foresaw a sub
stantial saving by proceeding at once
with the complete reconstruction of
all paved streets, rather than con
tinuing the repairs piece-meal over
a period of yeara. By undertaking a
complete reconstruction program, the
city becomes eligible to apply for a
PWA grant. H the project la ap
proved, the total amount of the
grant would be a direct saving to
the city. It has been pointed out.
Other Savings Cited.
In addition other savings would
accrue to the city by having the
streets reconstructed now before they
deteriorate further and thus make
the cost of reconstruction greater,
officials have emphasized.
It waa pointed out also that the
funds from the special tax levy,
which haa four yeara to continue,
can be applied to the cost of the
total reconstruction program so that
the net Increase In cost to the city,
with the PWA grant Included, would
be a relatively small sum.
A report submitted at last night's
meeting by Mr. Scheffcl and read
by Thomas Rose berry showed that
23 property owners had repaired their
sidewalks since the previous council
meeting August 1. Mr. Roseberry also
read Mr. Scheffel's department work
report for July.
