THE STREETS.


According to thestterms of their contracts the
various parties who undertook the cleaning of our
public streets were to have them thoroughly broomed
and shoyelled by June l. else receive no pay
Under the new ,egin,e, the Board of Health having
control OF the mate these terms are to be strictly
heh.
II by tomorrow, or rather tomorrow night, since
the contractors claim as included the first day of
June the streets are not sufficiently void OF mud and
NTH, then the gentleman who bid for and obtained
the jobHmay whistle for their money. The Board
can't afford to be enient while the health of the city
largely depends upon the purity of the Streets and
therefore the various contractors may expect
mercy. And some Of them-a minority TO- be sure
Judging from present appearances, will be found
even within the chalk, when the sun dips tomorrow
afternoon
OF course are sorry for them but still must say
that unless they had been sure of performing the
work in the time specified, they should never have
undertaken It, The districts are all TO be inspected
prior to the issuance of the pay warrants and must
pass such inspection in order to receive such war
rants
The districts hatwl more than likely get through
are the Second Third Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth,
Eleventh., Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Six
teenth, and Eighteenth. Those that will probably
not pass muster the First Fourth Eighth, Ninth,
Fifteenth, and Seventeenth. 1t may be, however,
that some which are counted all right may not be
found so, ana Uice UeTSd. But the people may be
sured that the Board of Health is doing its duty in
the matter
