The question of cleaning public
streets, ii one may judge from current
discussion, is in danger OF being only
theoretically considered. Perhaps
a remedy for the evil will be found in
a contract provided that the contract
or shall keep the streets clean, and a
refusal to pay for the cleaning OF
streets which have not been cleaned

JERSEY CITY FINANCES.
Good Work Done by the Sinking
Fund Commissioners.

The excellent showing in Comptroller
Hough's report Of the financial condition
Of Jersey City, published yesterday in
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS, is equalled by the
condition of affairs shown to exist in the
annual report Of the Sinking Fund Com
~missioners, which was presented this
morning to the Board OF Finance.
The report shows that the cash balance
on hand, December l, 1890, was S110, 6S5. 10.
The aggregate funds received for the year
were 81. s1l .052. 30. and the disbursements,
81. no, TIA. 09, which caves on hand d cash
balance of Sl51, 013.27 !.
The Sinking Fund Commission estab-
lished for the redemption OF bonds a fund
which has for its source one-Quarter of the
receipts for liquor Licenses and all the re-
ceipts for Nenders, cartmen, ~auctioneers'
and junk licenses, and all receipts for
fines and receipts for taxes for the years
prior to 1875.
From this fund the ST. Z ,724O which
was DISTURBED last year. was drawn.
Every cent OF the money was used for the
purpose of paying of bonds which
matured during the fiscal year. Six and
Z per cent. bonds were redeemed and 5
per cent. bonds Used in their stead. In
this manner the sinking Fund Com
missionerS have been rapidly paying
off the city deb. The hig h
price bonds having been called in and
new issues made at a much lower rate OF
interest, have materially lessened the bur-
den of the city's interest account. The
Sinking Fund Commissioners with the
Finance Commissioners having reduced
the city Indebtedness nearly one million
dollars in the past year, are in a position
now to relieve the city of an
other million and a half of its

pared.
lii his interview on Colonel Wan
ser's letter, which we reprint in u
news columns, Allan McDermott very
d clearly describes the exact relative re-
sponsibility of the Republican and
Democratic parties for the city's load
of debt.
In the seven years from 1871 to 1873,
the debt wes increased under Repub-
lican management a net amount OF
$40, $50, Goa. In the fourteen years
since, the net increase has been SO, 253,-
$50. Yet not even this comparatively
small amount is chargeable to the
Democracy, for during a portion of
tire time Messrs. Blair. Dickinson,
Seymour and Datz, with other like
paragons of virtue, were in charge of
the city government.
And what did we get for the ten
millions that the Republicans heaped
on the debt?
Nothing!
No mar can point to any improve
ment of the least value dating from
that period.
But what have the Democrats
given the city?
Just look at the record of the last
two years..
A magnificent site for a NEW CITY
HALL worth $110, 900.

TIERS.

WORKING THE ROADS.

Mr.. Editor, Dear Sir
Can yeu or the selectmen OF Randolph
explain to the inhabitants OF said town
the reason for not working the highways
as soon in the spring as the ground is in
suitable condition for road making2
Four hundred dollars expended now
will accomplish more than five hundred
dollars expended after June 10Th when the
weather is hot and grass roots are long.
Roads worked now have no turf to both
er in smoothing, also the earth packs more
readily and is much less liable TO be dam
aged by showers.
Years ago when farmers paid their tax
in labor, it was necessary that farmers
should have time to put their crops in be-
fore working on highways. As things are
to-day and all road taxes paid in cash,
there is no valid reason why the highways
should not be managed on business prin-
ciples and annually save to the town some
hundreds OF dollars besides giving the
people the benefit OF good roads month
or two longer each year.
Yours for the public good.
