The Chief of Police has issued the following
general order:
Commanding officers will instruct their force
to prevent ell heavy vehicles, either loaded or
unloaded, to travel o-er the streets faster than
at q walk also, to notify the drivers of Ice
cream and other wagons that bells must be
taken of at once regardless of locality. The
order is from the Administrator of Police. is
peremptory, and to remain in force during the
prevalence of the present sickness.
At the usual weekly meeting of the Council
last Tuesday. the resolutions introduced by
the Ac cminstrator of Improvements to annul
the contracts for street cleaning. were called
up for final action. Mt Csvanao presented
petitions from several hundred residents in
different parts of the city declaring that the
streets were kept clean aud in good repair,
and that the garbage, ETC., have been, during
the past year, promptly removed. He then
had section 23 of the City Chai ter read. This
section provides for the giving out by contract
OF all publio works when the cost of the sam
exceeds $500. This having bsengread, Mr. Co.
vauac called attention to the fact that under
the Department of Improvements the digging
out of Claiborne Canal lsss winter had cost
$2225. aud that bids put in by contractors for
other work of q similar character sho we'd that
the work could have been done by contract
for $7e4 The Administrator of Improvements
replied that he was perfectly willing to
accept the work done on the Claiborne
canal as o test case. That canal had
been cleaned little more than year ago, by
contract at q cost of S1400. Six months after
wards he was compelled to clean it out again
at an expense of $22s5. The difference in the
character of the work is manifest While one
cleaning (that done by oontract) only lasted
six months, the other cleaning (that done by
his depaItment) has lasted moro than that
time already, and, he continued, ~ point to 1t
with pride as being the only really serviceable
canal in the whole city at the present time."
Mr.. McCaffrey's resolutions annulling the
contracts were then laid on the table by the
following vote Yeas-Brown, Cavsnsc, Denis,
Deamond-4. Nays-McCafrey and Reng-
storf-2. Mr.. Edwards was absent. being very
sick.
