Mr. MCCARTNEY HOPES TO DO BETTER,
BY CONTRACTORS IN REMOVING THE
sNOE-CONDITION OF TIE sTREETs


BY CONTRACTORS IN REMOVING THE
sNow-CoNDITIoN OF THE STREETS
The work OF removing tho snow lef; the
streets OF NewYork In the storm Of last week is
now 80 IA, as the contractors are concerned com
pleied. Any snow still remaining will stay until
the sun melts IT. or until the regular employees OF
the Street Cleaning Department find time. in the
course Of their ordinary labors. to take 1t away.
II is inevitable that comparisons should be made
at this time between the manner I'm which the
task Of removing the snow has been accomplished
in this the first test OF the pabllities Of the
Street Cleaning Department under the admin
stration. and under Colonel Waring. on this
subject opinions various. While some, includ
ing many Of the officials OF the Department. de
clare that the work has been better done than
ever before others say that 1t has been performed
In a slipshod and incomriete manner. The truth
seems to lie between these TWO opinions Trib-
une reporter made a tour Of inspection yesterday.
Including among the streets visited many OF those
in the thickly populated tenement-house districts
OF the and west sides. He found that good
proportion Of the thoroughfares have been cleared.
though the manner in which the work has been
done is not so satisfactory. The principal streets
and avenues of the city have all been cleared.
while below Thrd-st. the cross streets on both
sides OF the city are also clear II snow Above
Thrd-st only tho avenues. the important cross
streets and those In which are cartracks have as
rule been cleared
As to the manner in which the work has been
done many OF the thoroughfares nave been COM
pletey cleared but others show evidence OF i'm
perfect work. and are still except where the sun
has finished the labors OF the shovelers. extremely

Street Cleaning Commissioner Mccartney was
seen IN the afternoon. He does not share the
optimistic views II some Of his subordinates. and
said that he was not by any means satisfied with
the work Of the contractors. Not enough men. he
declared were put TO work Il am not hoping for
