MUST CLEAN TIE CUTTERS
Superintendent Davis of the street cleaning
department called upon the Commit ssioners
this afternoon and urged that something be
done to compel the householders of the city
to clean the cutters IN front of their houses
Ut snow and ice. Later the Commissioners
wrote letter to Maj. Moore calling attention
to the great accumulation in the CUTTERS from
the recent snow and requesting him to direct
bis force to require the enforcement Of the law
in relation to the clearing Of cutters. The
obstructed cutters, they said, are the cause of
the slush ard POOLS Of water that are 80 incon-
venient and dangerous.
THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CARRIAGE SERVICE
The Commissioners have been called upon by
the chairman of the committee on the District
Of Columbia Of the House for their opinion in
regard to Senator Hunton's amend
ment to the pending District appropria-
ton bill Oh. r. 1OOS6) in regard TO
improving the garbage service. In reporting
upon the same today they say that the Senate
committee on appropriations has before it a
provision to improve the garbage service by
providing for garbage removal and destruction
which they believe will meet the favorable con-
siderntion of said committee and will be much
more to the interests OF the public than the
plan proposed in Mr.. Hunton's amendment

the District, called upon the Commissioners

the supply on hand in the yards of the

deiphia and New York he said there were miles
of coal cars. but it impossible for the Balti-
