<br />OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
<br />April 4, 1938
<br />seconded the
<br />I hive befoYe me contemfilPted projects furnished by the works Prop -reps Administr ti.on which
<br />Pre an enlFr @7ement of rrojects now in operption. This project, in. r,,ddtion to work on gravel
<br />streets End brick turning-, includec resurf. cing ell ^Gphalt streets th ^t require extensive
<br />re?meirs. It is repyretted thpt nn .-snhelt plant wes not rrovided ?s requested by the 1f,^yor
<br />some time PC o. This --ould be of erect help Pt this time es it wil -1 be imroesible to repair
<br />asphalt streets rt r low cost without such c plant. In former years there= were three privately
<br />owned nlFnts '.n South Bend, cnd. without these slants it is necessary to provide a city owned
<br />plant. While the nr.;v^te rl .,nts were in operation it was possible to rurehnse rendv mixed
<br />^sphpl-t rs n re^sonpble cost, but to ship same to the city from otheJ r ;lent,- mYkes the cost
<br />very high,. and provides 1�=bor for others insteF-d of our orn citizens. It is believed thati t
<br />would b_e un-ripe to ctternpt to resurface Fsphalt streets until such c rlant is rrovided, which
<br />I trust von Trill tike i-n ±o consideration ? =hen the next budget is r _eared. The rroject ct
<br />iced covers work for three veers cad will cost the City about 1879f,3 'I-m, or creund. $130=,00.00
<br />per ye^ r,
<br />I wish to call your rttention to the frct that ell our pcved s ±reels ware=, or ?re being,
