The streets VIII be cleaned In the follow
Ing manner: Each street will be first
sprinkled by a watering cart to Law the

Will sweep from the center of the streets to
the cutters on each side: the swe.pings
then removed in carts.
SuWclent water to be used in sprin-
king TO prevent the raising of dust in
sweeping. The contractor will see that no
sweepings are thrown into traps or drops
and will remove from the mouths or thr bats
thereof any material lying therein. Should
any sweepings be thrown upon the side
walks they must be removed by the con-
tractor.
THE daily sweeping must be done be-
tween the hours of 10 pm. and @ am in
the summer and 10 pm. and Z am. in
the winter. The swcepings must be remov-
ed from the streets within two hours from
the time of sweeping. In special cases the
Commissioners may direct such a varia ion
from these hours as in their judgment
shall be advisable.
Should the work of sweeping or remov-
Ing sweepings be necessarily delayed or
suspended the time lost may be allowed In
addition to the hours liked in the preced-
ing paragraph, but the Commissioners shall
be the sole judge as to the necessity of
sucn delay or suspension, and their deci-
sion thereon shall be final
wi hile work is in progress loud talking
on the part of employees and unnecessary
noises of all kinds are prohibited Such
disturbances will be suppressed by the po-
lice, but the contractors will be held re-
sponsible for the enforcement of this speci-
fication.
The sweepings will be the property of
the contractor. They may be temporarily
deposited at such points with the ap-
proval of the Com mmissioners he may select,
but they shall not remain in such tempor-
ary dumping grounds for a longer period
than forty-eight hours and nothing in this
contract shall be held to give the con-
tractor the right to violate the health or
dinances of the District of Columbia
THE sweepings must include everything
in the nature of dirt, refuse, ashes etc.
which may be found upon the carriage
ways. Ashes, refuse, etc, are placed on the
streets In violation of the city ordinances,
and parties SO placing them are liable to
punishment for SO doing. The District au-
thorities will use every reasonable endeavor
to prevent such deposits, but the contractor
must accept the risk Of removing all such
refuse as may be found on the streets
NO payment will be made for any work
wherein strict compliance with the above
provisions is not observed"
Under the head of general stipulations
the District reserves the right to suspend
the contractor from the work for failure to
commence the same at the time specified
and the contractor is also required to be
prepared TO do any extra work that may be
ordered.

Desirable Changes in the Contract.
While the street sweeping contract is in
itself, according to the belief of the Com
missioners, sufficient to protect all the
city's interests. there are at least one or
two places where improvements could well
be made The District is divided into sec
items and from these sections routes are
selected for sweeping and cleaning Some
OF the streets are swept every day others
three times a week, others twice a week
and Few only once in a week. Should il
rain on any Of the days scheduled for
sweeping the contractor Is not required 20
go there tine next day and clean that
street, but 1t goes over until its turn comes
again according to the schedule If on that
day the weather is bad the street is ne
elected again, and it is this neglect that
has been responsible for so much COM
plant on the part Of the citizens. 1t was
suggested yesterday by a complainant in
GEORGETOWN that the contractor should be
allowed an extra force of machines and
men TO operate them to sweep these streets
that through the intervention of the
weather are neglected, the first night
thereafter that the weather permits.

HeVes that such a provision should be
made. His idea, however is to have all
the work done by days labor under the
direct supervision Of the District He has
already recommended this in communi-
catlon TO the Commissioners and will again
bring 1t to their attention In his annual
report. He also believes that street cars
sfould be compelled to sprinkle their
tracks and recommends that each road
be equipped with one or more watering
cars.
Inc inspectors of the street sweeping de-
partment are furnished each day with a

TWO CUTE FOXES.
They Had Fun while Bamed Hunters
Wondered.

In Outing is told the story of a pair
OF foxes that for time, at any rate,
enjoyed the sport OF fox hunt. The
dogs Jumped them, but after a while
the trail ended at a pond.
About the center of the pond was a
bent tree, the two ends of which were
in the water, while the highest point
Of the curve was perhaps twenty feet
above the pond The dogs were work
ing about the pond. looking for the
trail. and the men were looking, too,
and they we're beginning to feel rather
curious, especially as every few mo-
ments they would hear a fox yelp sharp
ly IL seemed 10 be a derisive bark,
which IT probably was. After a while
movement in the top Of the curve Of
the tree in the pond attracted attcn-
tion
Upon this tree" the account con.
tinues, seated comfortably at the point
of its highest curves, was an oh dog
fox The cunning rascal had travelled
across The pond on the logs then scaled
The bent tree, and while we watched
hc ierked his goodly brush up and down
and barked his derisiou at the whole
performance. After a while we saw
his vixen seated on an adjacent log
They were simply watching the futile
efforts of our pack 90 locate them. and
likely enough enjoyed the experience"
One of the men got mp wind from the
animals and his scent drove them out.
The dog took the male fox's trail and
drove IT at last to a log spanning a
ditch on which man WAS sitting. The
fox dld not see the motionless man till
close enough to be reached, when, with
a frantic leap sideways into the water
ne escaped the grab. The wet fox gave
OFF a strong, easily followed scent. and
the wet brush was like a piece Of lead
so the animal was killed by the dogs
while the men rushed in afoot to get a
closer view.
