Mayor argues for street reconstruction over partial repair
The mayor explains funds limit to only relay torn street sections for pipes. He warns partial repair yields poor business district streets and advocates full reconstruction at about 50 000 dollars per mile lasting 20 years. State tax increases of 800 000 to 900 000 justify avoiding regular budget funding. Boston bears much of western road costs.
