Mr.. Cragin presented a petition from Levi P.
Wright, praying Congress to pass an act that It
was the true intent Of that body in passing the
act providing q government for the district Of
Columbia, June 20, 1874, that contractors for
sweeping the streets and avenues and cleaning
the alleys should receive pay for such work out Of
any money in the city treasury not otherwise ap-
prOpriated, the same as other ordinary municipal
expenses are now paid. Mr.. Wright sets forth
that he entered into q contract with the Board Of
Public Works December 4, 1873, to sprinkle,
sweep, and keep clean all the streets and avenues
for one year, that he has faithfully performed this
work; that he was to be paid SIS per mile monthly;
that he was paid in certificates with the excep-
tion of In cash; that for ten months past he
has been obliged to carry on the work without
any pecuniary assistance from the District, and
has been obliged to borrow money at very ex-
traVagant rates, and his loss, Q matter Of jUs-
tice, should be made up to him.
CLEANING THE ALLEYS.
A petition was also presented from Dennis
O'Neill & Co., in which they represent that they
had a similar contract TO clean alleys from March
TO- 1874. Their work up to December l, 1874,
amounted to S2l. 594.30, for which certificates Of
indebtedness were issued from time to time, por-
lions Of which they were compelled TO dispose of
at q sacrifice Of about sixty cents on the dollar,
making their total loss q, 81, which they ask
may be made good to them.
