Darley Recommends Care in

Excerpts from a report niado Inst
night to the city council by En
gineer C' T. Darley, bearing upon
, local Improvement conditions, aro
presented herewith:
"Water bound macadam, In my
opinion, should bo considered lem-
' porary and baring Its main value In
the tact that It adds valuo as a
base for future- permanent pavement,
t suggest that macadam bo laid not
to . exceod five inches thick. East
Main street at present, has a more
or less wet base and I question the:
advisability of placing an oil maca
dam as I think yon will be Inviting
worse conditions Immediately than
the Shlpplngton road la at the pres
ent time.

, design, I suggest a change back to
the old form as regards the portion
of the curb above the gutter grade,
'for sanitary reasons.
. "In regard to plumber'B permits,
to tap present sewers under pave
ment, the plumber should be held
to properly backfill the trenches

should backfill tho trench and
charge the same to tha plumber.
"Should thero bo a paving pro
gram near Esplanade and Alameda
street this year, thero should bo a
carnful study made, for knnltnry rea
sons us well us general public con
venience, of development In the vic
inity of Esplnnndo and Spring
streets. c
"At tho present time I am re
peatedly confronted with complaints
on grades and drainages, for side
walks on Ninth Btroet at the New
Christian church and tho same on
alley In Block 14, between Muin aud
Pine. I think these complaints
should be given early considera
tion with n view of having them
satisfactorily cleared away.
"I consider that there is a great
responsibility resting with the office
of city engineer and the suggestions
abova given the tho rosult of pr-
vatling thought gained by late per
sonal study at Portland and Seattle
and I advocate a careful procedure
on these lines, as 1 feel that we
should profit by the cjperlcnco of
other cities which have perhaps
paid highly for tho knowledge they
gladly give us."
