City
Engineer
L.
Ahillips
told
In
a
verbal
statement
to
coun-T
ell,
supplementing
a
written
report
on
his
road
maintenance
policy,
City
Engineer
Philips
told
.the
aldermen
that
"the
city
hasn't
a
nlckle
to
spend
on
paving
until
the
streets
are
ready
all
I
have
been
trying
to
do
Is
stop-gap
so
that
I
can
get
other
badly-needed
work
done."
Mr.
Phillips
spoke
prior
to
council's
acceptance
of
hi3
written
report
which
showed
that
for
the
first
five
months
of
this
year
almost
$8,000
has
been
spent
on
the
city's
streets,
the
larger
part
of
It
for
patching,
grading,
re-surfacing
and
sealing.
A
large
part
of
the
present
work
has
been
the
re-establishment
of
grades,
drainage
ana
consolidation
of
sug-grades
for
later
paving
programs,
Mr.
Phillips
declared.
He
added
that,
as
result
of
the
road-bulldlng
methods
of
20
and
25
years
ago,
soft
spots
are
continually
appearing
In
the
streets
because
of
rotting
Umber
mattresses.
He
asserted
that
the,
city
could
have
"50
per
cent
of
Its
streets
good
earth
roads,
with!
the
downtown
and
.busy
-
traffipi;
arteries
paved."
Launching
into
an
over-all
discourse
on
the
city's
engineering
plight.
Mr.
Phillips
asserted
that
"roads
are
not
the
most
important
problem
from
an
engineering
standpoint.
We
have
a
very
dangerous
and
unhealthy
sewer
problem
here.
It
should
never
be
lost
sight
of
that,
Just
because
poor
sewers
are
not
so
noticeable
as
poor
streets,
they
are
not
important.
To
go
ahead
and
put
a
permanent
surface
on
the
down
tow
nstreets
would
mean
that
we
should
have
to
tear
It
up
later
to
replace
the
sewers."
In
answer
to
a
question
by
Alderman
Arnold,
Mr.
Phillips
said
that
to
spray
the
streets
with
lubricating
or
diesel
oil
to
lay
the
dust
would
be
detrimental
to
the
later
application
of
paving
material
and
that
to
use
a
"cut-back"
paving
emulsion
would
be
highly
expensive.
Delegation
Present
Hut
Says
Nothing
Mr.
Phillips'
statements
were
followed
with
keen
Interest
by
a
grqup
of
citizens,
whom,
Alderman
Youngs
said,
he
understood
had
come
as
a
delegation
to
speak
on
the
street
problem.
However,
given
an
opportunity
tn
nresent
their
views
to
coun-
Icil,
none
responded.
Getting
down
to
matters
ot
cost,
the
City
Engineer
declared
that
a
good
paving
Job
would
cost
$10,000
a
mile.
"I
have
between
$700
and
$800
a
mile
to
spend,"
he
added.
'sixth
Avenue
East
is
held
up
as
a
good
road,"
he
said.
"I
don't
think
that
it
is
a
particularly
good
road.
It
Is
too
narrow,
lacks
drainage
and
has
an
uneven
surface.
Yet
that
street
cost
the
Air
Force
in
excess
ot
$20,000
a
mile."
In
answer
to
a
query
by
Alderman
Hills,
the
City
Engineer
informed
council
that
he
has
so
far
spent
about
half
of
his
annual
street
maintenance
budget.

against

conference
with
manda
tory
rules

the
Russians
originally
demanded.
There

some
surprise
at
the
sudden
capitulation
of

point
by
Foreign
Commissar
V.
M.
Molotov
of
Russia,
who
had
held
out
unyieldingly
for
stiff
procedure.
Presumably
he
had
received
