THE DIRTY STREETS.
T.lsks Editor If tie ". Y. 1yfbxns.

1sihs Editor " he W. T. Irfetns
SIR: In your editorial of this morning you charge
NE with being opposed to giving the contracts for
cleaning the streets of the city TO those who were the
lowest bidders. In this you are mistaken. The est
mates for cleaning al the streets sent to the Com
non Council for confirmation, together with my a.
municaton urging the necessity of prompt action in
the matter Monday evening last You will perceive
by the ordinance passed by the Board of Councilmen,
Februsly 81, 1855, and by the Board of Alderman July
6, 1855, section 494, that have power to close
the contracts until they have been confirmed
As regards the present condition of the streets, l
would respectfully state that have done bat little
work cave collecting the ashes since the 1st day Of
December last, and have had money to pay of the
men employed since July %, 1856, having per-
formed the work and kept the streets ia good order dur
ing the Summer and Fall entirely on credit The ap-
Precipitation for street cleaning for 1857, Of $3.50 600,
specially made for cleaning by contract, aod do
not in consequence thereof feel justified at present to
go on "a heretofore more especially as cannot get
the money to pay for what work has already been par
formed
So far as your article reflects my willingness to
contract you have been msinformed, IS assure you
and the public that have ever been williPg to per-
form the duties assigned me without fear or favor.
Hoping you will give this place your Columns,
remain yours respectfully
J. z. EBLING Commissioner OF Streets nd Lamps
We are pleased 70 learn luas Vne ufst business VI
Mr.. EbliDg yesterday was to call on Mayor Wood,
who has just returned from Washington, and urge
INN. date attention to the streets. Mr.. Wood,
Nr. Ebling and Controller Flagg executed paper
empowering the contractors to 80 to work at once,
and nothing now remains to cause further delay.
AS to confirmation of contracts by the Common
Council, it is only matter of circumlt cution. No
regular contract ever fails TO be Approved in fact,
the Council must approve where the Departments
award; the Charter expressly commands that the
lowest bidder shall have the JOB; and the inaction,
or even adverse action tf the Common Council,
cannot alter the fact hair 1t is beyond question
that q contract otherwise valid, lie just as good
wiihou. their approval as With il.
Now let Us have the papers perfected this day,
aud then TO work q. once. The contractors have
an opportunity to distinguish themselves, and We
bope to see a generous rivalry in doing the work
the quickest and the best. Livery effort should be
made TO eilec. the first grand cleaning, and not
broom, hoe shovel or cart, that can possibly be
employ ed, should be suffered 10 remain Idle.
