BEN WOOD.
Criticism About Methods Employed to
Clean the Streets-.-Citizens Com
pare Recent Administration With
That ofthe Time of the 1891 Flood.
General BenWood News.

Yesterday the street commissioner
had small force Of men out cleaning
Main street. The mud was removed
from the middle of the street and pill
ed up on each side near the curb and
not carried away. This method of
cleaning up aroused much criticism.
One citizen states that it compared
very favorably with the manner in
which the town was cleaned after the
1891 food, when the same conditions
existed. Said he: Then the Demo-
Gratis were in power and spent $500 to
have the streets properly cleaned and
all the mud and debris removed. This
was done in three days. The prospects
are that under the present administra-
ton it will not be done in three weeks.
To-day many citizens offered to work
out their taxes cleaning up the streets,
but their offers were fatty refused
Benwood presents very discourag-
ing sight. The mud seems deeper here
than anywhere else. On Sixth street
it appears couple Of feet deep. Own
ers and tenants of property were busy
Sunday and yesterday cleaning and
they all had their hands full In some
Of the stores on Main street the goods
had not yet been moved back. Prob
ably the deepest place in town was at
the Emergency Hospital building, cor
ner Sixth and Main streets. Here the
first floor, on which are the postoffice
and the drug store, is about seven or
eight feet above the pavement and on
the first floor the water stood four feet
and ten inches deep W. O. Burn S

goods back in place. He estimates
that he was damaged to the extent of

wood was comparatively slight. Harry
McGarrell and Joseph Culman are said
to have had some household goods in
jured by the water The roof from a
shed in the lumber yard of Alex Du-
bois was taken off and some lumber
lost
The second floors of the city hall,
Methodist church and Central school
building were filled with pianos and
household goods taken in from the
flood Parties were busy yesterday re-
moving their goods back to their

Water street. where the water lacked
only one inch of entering. In Upper
Benwood at the houses of John Blake
and John Rosebery. at Forty-eighth

in. The electric light plant is on high
