relates in important particular to enforcing the
tracts for cleaning and keeping in repair the paved and
unpayed streets Of the city When these contracts
adjudieaed under the late municipal government it
made the duty Of the various Surveyors in the event Of
any neglect refusal the part the contractors
perform their work to put at the of the
ties, such number of workmen might be deemed
cessay to discharge the obligations of the contract I'm
der the new order Of things the City Surveyor declines
assuming the responsibility of employing worsmen. nor
does the Street Commissioner consider himself authorized
to do and the necessary consequence is that the

health and important at this of the years. not
properly attended to.
During the bad weather which prevailed last week, I
deemed advisable to instruct the Street Commissioner

rious parts of the city all Of which, trust will meet with
your approval

sity of appointing the requisite Inspectors and Clerks
preside the election which is to be held the 21st
