In addition to the usual sand sealing and dust coating on many of the streets, reshaping and laying a cold mat is proposed for several streets. This requires more work, and more oil than has been necessary for the dustcoat sand seal type of maintenance. The resulting surface then lasts longer. The streets t©i� be so improved are generally in the Northeast and Southeast parts of town. The Council may, if they so wi6h, order the costs of this work to be assessed. If so, it is necessary to commence proceedings under C apter 429. The first step would be a resolution ordering preparation -of a report on improvement. D, Petitions E. Building Permits 2.
