Street Cleaning by Merchants.

The paved streets in this city are
now, and have been for some time
past, in a disgraceful condition, be-
ing covered an inch deep with filth.
The fault for this frightful condi-
ton of the principal streets of AL
pena, does not rest with the Com
mon Council, rs an injunction is-
sued by Judge Kelly, at the request
of several heavy tax payers, forb ids
the Common Council from issuin g
any street orders until there is mon
ey in the city treasury to pay the
same. As there is no money in
the city treasury, and is not likely
to be any this year, the Common
Council has not the lawful power
to hire men and teams to clean the
streets, or do any work OH the
streets or sidewalks.
The critics of the Common Coun-
Gil want that body to transfer q
portion of the contingent fund t.
the street fund and clean the streets
Such course would not put cash
in the city treasury, and transfer
ring part of one fund to another
would not mend the matter in the
least, as the injunction will not
permit drawing orders until the
city treasury has the cash to redeem
the orders drawn. Another unrea-
sonable critic wants the Common
Council to borrow money and clean
the sstreets. The only way the
Common Council can borrow money
would be to issue city orders at a
discount, and such action, we
claim, would be unlawful. 1t would
be really bonding the city without
first obtaining the consent of the
citizens. The Common Council
can do nothing towards cleaning
the streets or repairing sidewalks
while the injunction is in force.
Last Thursday forenoon many of
the merchants on Second street,
between Water and Chisholm
streets, came to the conclusion that
something must be done to get rid
of the mass Of filth in front of the
business places, and they and their
armed with shovels and
brooms, moved on to the street, and
in o short time removed the filth
from the front of their stores and
piled it into heaps. Each one of
the dirt piles bore placard. The
one nearest River street was labeled
North Point" the next was des-
ignated "Grass Island" and the
other heaps of mud on the souther-
ly side of the street were named. |
Public Improvement" "Kelly's |
Island. "Kelly's Cave" Sulphur
Island" while on one was the no.
tice, Farm for Sale" another con-
tanned the invocation God Bless
Our City," while "Injunction" grac-
ed the top of another,
On the northerly side of the
street one dirt pile bore the inscrip-
lion, "In Memory of Our City |
Dads" another had the device,
'Harshaw Will do the Rest" while
IN front of business mans place,
who did not join the volunteer
street cleaning corps, some wag
mad fastened card with Streets

amusement to the many people who
passed during the day.
