Press release by Mayor Frank J. Bruggner - Monday, April 9, 1962 Mr. Raymond Andrysiak, City Engineer, has advised me this date that because the Street Department and the private contractors are so effectively handling the chuck hole problem, the transfer of $50, 000.00 from Motor Equipment Account (S -722) to Sealing of Streets Account (S -264) will not be necessary. He further indicates that the $50, 000.00 can better serve the project of good streets by staying in the Motor Equipment Account (S -722) of the Street Department for the purchase of new equipment. He further believes that the additional work that must be done on the streets by private contractors will be taken care of by the $100, 000.00 that is to be trnsferred into the Sealing of Streets Account (S -264). Consequently, The Board of Public Works and Safety has available $132,000. 00 for its patching program by private contractors. I will this evening direct a message to the Common Council that the ordinance set for public hearing this date for a transfer of $50, 000.00 be withdrawn.
