las, evening states, that the present filthy con-
dition of the streets, is sowing, we are told,
TO the fact, that the appropriation has run out
The Second Branch of the City Council, at the
last annual session, endeavored to continue the
contract system, but was over-ruled by the
First Branch, after keeping the streets un-
cleaned for upwards of a month"; excepting i'll
one or two districts, where the contractors con-
linued to perform their duty, but for which
they were refused compensation by the flIst
Branch. The present system, or none, had to
be adopted; but the expenditure was limited to
the amount expended under the contract sys-
tenn. The result shews, that the latter is the
least expensive; and it should be restored
We unite in the hope expressed by the Repub-
lican, that "the Board of Health will take
some steps to have the streets cIeaned"-and
we may add, that the Council will have the
Justice to compensate the laborcrs.
