The old rate was SIC 80 a mile. See the

NEGLECT OF STREETS.
The result Of this eXt0rtionate mile rate
has been the total neglect of many streets.
The Supervisors could not ind tue money
to pay the big bills that Max Pepper was
turning IN each month, so they told MIN not
TO sweep all the streets.
Last month more than half the streets
went dirty"
All the Supervisors could afford to pay
Max Pepper last month was S4l94 IS. For
that sum he swept less than 203 miles, leay-
ing 23S miles with a months accumulation
Of filth.
Now, in the years 1889 Max Pepper
was satisfied to sweep about go miles for
this amount. But that was before the
Buckley gang made him present Of $1,000
a month.
viii the present Board of Supervisors
give Max Pepper present Of $4,000
year?
1t is not likely, but the taxpayers are
anxious and would Ike to know right off.
Last month they gave him present OF
SOP 20.
The old contract expired March 81. The
Supervisors were not ready to call for bids
for new contract, so they told SuDerin-
lendent GllleTan to 90 ahead and clean as
many streets as he could and pay Max
Pepper the present rate of $50 10 per mile.
And this order Of things is 20 continue
pf " IA nal
Will be let. Meantime Max Pepper Will go
on pOcketing 500 or $500 r month more
than hs ought 10 get, and leave more than
bali the streets uncleaned.
Superintendent GilleTan has prepared a
new schedule for street cleaning. Ii shows
that there are 489 miles OF streets which
ought to be swept each month, no matter
what the cost. Then he has supplemental
list OF eight miles per month that also ought
10 be swept. He was afraid to add the sup
Elemental list TO the main list, for lie knew
that under the present mileage rate some
streets must 60 dirty when the new con-
tract is let.
So he left cut eight miles of streets, say
ing TO the Supervisors:
lyon must clean 439 miles, and you ought
to clean eight miles more"
This is the schedule he has prepared,
minus the eight miles that only
ought" to be cleaned. Look it over
carefully ard see how often the streets in
your neIghbOTh0od ought to be swept.
With the exception of the fourth class, to
which several miles have been ad ded, the
schedule is practically the same as the one
under which Max Pepper should be work
ing at present
