HAND SWEEPING FAVORED
commissioners to Act OH the Bids
for Street Cleaning.
Proposals TO Have the Work Done by
Mao Labor VIII Probably Be
Invited Today.

Commissioners Ross, Wight, and Black,
and supt- Mckenzie, OF the street cleaning
department, held a conference late yester-
day afternoon relative 70 the matter or
street cleaning. The conference lasted
about an hour, and resulted tn a decision
by the Commissioners to take action on the
bids for street cleaning today
Some question was raised as to the
authenticity OF the figures given by Col.
waring as to the amount OF work per
formed by his White Wings" hand broom
force in cleaning the streets of New York.
According 20 Col Waring, and as reported
by Commissioner Wight. each sweeper On
the New York street cleaning force is
required TO sweep 500 square yards four
times day in the residence portion OF tha
city, or 5000 square yards twice day
IN the business section OF the city Thess
figures would mean that man sweeps In
one day 81 200 square yards in the resi-
dence, or 10000 square yards in the
business section, whereas in this city a
sweeper is required to clean only 6,400
square yards a day. There is apparently
a wide difference between the daily amount
OF work done by the New York and Wash
ington street sweeper, and the Commits
sioners were ct loss to account for the
same
The Commissioners requested Cob Waring
by telegraph last evening to verify the fig
ures as TO the amount of Individual daily
work done by his men, and this morning a
board meeting will be held 10 discuss the
matter.
The commissioners favor the hand sweep
Ing system and IL is probable that lids
will be advertised for to do the work by
hand Mr.. Albert Daggett. the present
contractor, has already entered his bid
to do the work by the hand sweeping
method. and at the recent hearing given
by the board in regard TO the matter of
street cleaning was represented By Judge
Jere Wilson, WHO made an able argument
in favor Of hand sweeping The arguments
advanced on that occasion. and the Pc
tition from prominent citizens urging Il o
adoption OF the hand sweeping system,
have been largely instrumental in infirl-
eucinc the Commissioners TO favor that
method of street cleaning.
