Detroit Street

Last evening city engineer Key submitted to the board of public works a detailed report of the improvements on Detroit street, and the expense of the work that lias been done. The total gross cost of the work done on the street was $6,232. The eost of crushing the stone was estimated at 20c. per cubic foot. The improvements on Detroit street made it necessary to do some work on the contiguous streets,alsothe material taken off Detroit street was neerted at other places in the city. This has been, therefore, charged to the street where it was taken, and any other work done charged to the prop;-r fund and credited to Detroit street. The report shows these items in detail, and from the various streets and funds make a total amount to be credited to Detroit strtet of 3,283.20. This leaves the net cost of the street, accordingto the engincer's (igures, at S2,Ü48.8O. Mr. Key estimates that the delays caused by the street railway eompauy, the necessity of lowering about 400 feet of stone sewer, which was nnforseen, and the necessary wait for line stone for choker, together with losing on this account some of the best weather for work, increased the eost of the street by not less than -?500. The street is now ready to speak for itself, and every citizen should make up his mind by a careful and personal inspection whether or not it is satisfactory.
