Dr. l. l. Hayes, of New York, called up to-day his
resolution requesting tho Mayor the city OF New
York, the President OF the Board Of Health and the
Commissioner of Public Works to devise and report
TO the Legislature plan for cleaning Streets sep
arate garbage and ashes and disposeof the latter.
Mr.. Grady offered q substitute tor the resolution
which included Comptroller Kelly and tho chairman
of the Committee on Street Cleaning OF the Board OF
Police among the officials to share in devlsing the
proposed plan. Mr.. Grady, in support OF his substl

unc1ean than other streets. He alleged that they
were dirty only In localities where citizens contrib

government, and that they are, In fact,
cleaner to-day than they have been at any time dur.
Ing tho past ten years He regarded Dr. Hayes reso-

present system Of street cleaning, which he consid-
cred excellent. Abiding to the recent proceedings

Works to increase Tho city expenses account of
pavements and TO the President OF the Board OF
Health TO increase that Boards already alarming
powers Dr. Hayes promptly objected 10 this view;
he did not want officers included in the rcsau-
tion who were SO Immediately concerned
IN the matter. He desired TO obtain inlorms-
tion only from competent and dsinterested
persons. Following him Mr. Daily, OF New York,
Grady's indirect ospersion upon the Boards OF Pubic
Works and Public Health and IT was evident that
