arted. the list uf the same having boen
fufnlhSed me by the street Supelrneend-
ent under your directions. l would sug-
gest that the only prompt and efficient
way to get rid of the tracks would be,
after the passage of this ordinance. to Or
der the street Superintendent to remove
the tracks from the streets. At ths same
time l think it best to call your alton
tiOn to the fact that IN some cases the
tracks by this ordinance declared forfeit
ed ale located on streets which are paved,
and on such streets it would be attended
with considerable expense to remove
these tracks. 1t would be cheaper, of
course, in such cases to simply remove
the rails and have tn e places paved from
which they are taken. Referred to the
board of public works.
In the matter Of the contract for street
sweeping, l am Of the opinion that you
have this power to forfeit this contract.
Should you determine to forfeit the sa me
forthwith l would advise tnat you do so
by resolution and notify the contractor
thereof at once. 1 would suggest, how
ever that it is advisable that you have
complete evidence OF the unfaithfulness
and neglect of the contractor in tie ex-
ecution of his contract. I am informed
that the members of your board of pub
lie works are thoroughly cognizant of the
facts necessary to establish the contractors
failure to perform his contract. If said
board has the details OF this eviden CO
that would, in my opinion. be sufficient.

hawking or crying of goods in the streets
and in front of business houses in this

Hawkers or cryers have been employed
quite extensively of late by some houses
in this city. but do not consider this a
legitimate way of advertising and the
ness men whose houses are located naar
by, for when one of these fellows IS
loudly bowling but little else can be
heard in his neighborhood, and they
thus interfere with the business of others.
Besides this practice looks bad to our
