On the report Of the Committee on Cleaning Streets
AID LORD proposed that the report be accepted and the
AID Howard proposedt amend that no person shall
have more than one contract or district :,
Aid CHAUscET said that il one person took several as
trcs the expense would be less and the work more likely
10 be done.
Aid CHAUNCEy-I rise TO a point Of order. Inc law
saws we must take the lowest bid with security think
we cannot adopt the resolution
AID vooRHis-l think f,he resolutions were adopted
Il would have no effect The 18th section of the Amended
forces us give the contract TO the lowest bid
der think the thing is guarded as well as possible oy
the provision that the contractor must reside OF nave an
off 70 in his district .,

the CITY into 10 cleaning districts ii one ortwo men
cen get the contracts as before o,.,

good for get nineteen to como ana take con
Ala MoTT-I am satisfied the Charter leaves rs no
rover IL an instance of the way the Charter operates
and for which am resolved TO continue seeking us repeal
Aid. LoRDI believe 1t was originally the n'eniloh Oh
the Committee that each contractor should have only one
disct an objection however, was raised that TO insist
on that would be violation Of the Charter l cannot
deny that The objection has some force and AN under
the r1presson If we restrict may invsldate the con-
rset There is advantage to the contractor oil
smser means When the City was divided into four dis
tricts security for $4,000 necessary, Dut Then
bera ara 10 dis;rics person with g. goo can bid and
the bidder of email will have the advantage that
he can be content with smaller profit, and probably 90
his work cheaper ! hope the amendment Will not DC
adopted. The amendment was lost r.,
