STREET CLEANING.

The Board OF Police Commissioners met yester.

ing to discuss the question OF removing the snow
from the principal avenues Of travel. This subject
has been discussed before by the Commissioners,
and when they sent in their estimate OF the ex-
pcnses OF cleaning the streets during next year
they applied to the Board Of Apportionment for
100000, with which to delray the cost OF carting
away the snow. 1t has been and is the opinion Of
the Board that the funds set apart for street clean
ing purposes cannot be drawn on Tor any otner costs
and IN removing dirt, garbage, &c. The Com
missioners decided, however, to refer the subject
return an answer to their query early to-day. II
Counsel Smitn's reply Is at variance with the be-
lief OF the Commissioners work will be immedl
ately begun to clear from snow Broadway from
Bowling Green to Fourteenth street; Fulton, WALL

vehicles are continually passing.
