Upon the resolution offered by Aid Baird authorizing
tho Commissioner of Streets and Lamps to remove the
snow and ice and filth from the streets of the Fourth Ward
and charge the TO the contractor for cleaning the
streets some little debate ensued.
AID Baird said the streets of City never before
in such filthy condition. Chatham st. and other thor.
oughfares in his Ward choked up with ice and
snow to seriously impede the travel He had hired
and paid from his pocket men to carry away the
ashes which had been thrown in the street He hoped the
resolution would be adopted forthwith.
Aid Lord thought there necessity for such haste
II the gentleman on the other side would but wait few
days the streets would be freed from ice and by the
weather lie was of opinion that the Board should look to
the heads of the departments for information in this mat
ter and not the contractors The heads OF the depart
mens the proper ones to call to account and not the
COZ tractors. .
After some other debate the question was referred to
the Committee Streets, &c.
