Mr. Harmsen explained that costs and time are well worth it, since they not only add to property values and cut down storm runoff problems, but also help keep the streets from cracking during the winter. Curbs and gutters seal off the asphalt and keep the water from seeping into the edges and breaking up the road surface. Divisions Chief Retires From Army Role Ex-96t- h sy f - J0 Maj. Gen. Michael B.
