The city department presided over
by Councilman Powell is entering upon
the task of taking a physical inven-
tory of the property and improvements
appertaining to the streets. tho ewen
system, etc. This is being done be-
cause it s believed the information will
bo valuable to the department and
especially because the United State*
Government requires tho data from all
cities of 30,000 inhabitants or more
for its purposes in suppying informa-
tion and giving publicity concerning
them.
The inventory will include complete
quantitative figure* of all street im-
provements, sidewalks, curbs, storm
sewers, drains, sanitary sewers, cul-
verts, bridges, with the estimated value
in each case, and probably also the
buildings owned by the city.

hoped that it will be completed within
