Appropriation This Year for Street
Sweeping $1,000 short.

PssoOV hoEt
When the annual appropriations We're
made the Journal exposed the absurdity
of the Board of Works receiving an ap-
preparation for street sweeping less than
was appropriated for this year, but there
was no change made. It was then stated
that the making of this small appropria-
ton would simply mean that the Council
would be asked to make supplemental ap-
preparations when the money ran short.
The $4,000 that was appropriated for this
year will be exhausted by Nov. 1, and at
the Council meeting next Monday night an
ordinance viii be introduced asking for an
additional appropriation to keep the streets
clean for two months. 1t will require about
$1,000 to do the work. This will make an
expenditure of $57, 900 this year. Next year
there will be fourteen miles more of streets
to be kept clean than were cleaned this
year, and the Council has appropriated only
$50, 600 for the work.
