action while in the Council when he
fought for higher rates for the Water
Company, which to-day is one
OF the richest corporations in
the city. The records of the
Council will show that his vote upon
the question of raising the rates was
aye" and at the present time one of
the persons most interested in his cleo
tlon ls the President of the Water Com
pany. This gentleman used all of his
influence to secure Mr.. Miles nomina-
tion by. the Republican Convention and
his endorsement by the "Reformers,"
Just as he is using it now to elect him.
There is no doubt in the minds of MANY
who are on the outside that Miles is a
thorough henchman of the Water Conn
pany.
These were the things that were talked
about all over the streets yesterday, and
nearly every Republican of several
years residence here who was ap-
preached on the subject admitted that
Mr.. Niles public record was not what it
ought to be, but was vulnerable at many
points.
STREET CLEANING.
Another statement was going the
rounds yesterday on the street that Mr..
Miles tried to stop street cleaning on one
occasion at the request OF few parsimo-
NOUS property holders. 1t will be re-
membered that while he was President
OF the Council there was big flood and
in consequence there was an immense
amount OF mud in the streets, fact that
can hardly be imagined now. The Street
Superintendent's men, as soon as the
rain was over, started in to clean the
streets so as to make them somewhat
respectable and to allow foot passengers
to cross from one side to the other.
Some OF the property owners, observing
teams at work hauling off the mud. hap
pened to think that the payment for the
same would have to come out of the City
Treasury, and they went to Miles and
asked him to stop it, Miles Immediately
started out and made every effort to have
the streets left in their disgraceful con-
dition. The parties who tell this tale
say they do not want him again where
he can prevent the cleaning OF streets.
