Ada Street Dept Faces Big Budget Strain and Aging Gear
Ada's street crew hauled about 9 000 cubic yards of gravel last year to service 78 miles of streets and 20 miles of alleys with a 13-man crew. The 1959 60 budget totaled 78 934 01 dollars, including 48 754 55 from state taxes and 20 390 38 from the general fund. Equipment wears out, especially the street sweeper, and future funding hinges on state allocations tied to population, threatening cuts to the program for at least ten years.
