GRADY,s STREET CLEANING BILL.
He Says II Was Not intended TO Reduce tho
Force. but TO Increase Salaries.

ALBANY, Jan. 20.-At the meeting of the
Senate Cities Committee this afternoon Sena-
tor Grady cleared up the misrepresentation
caused by the introduction of his Street
Cleaning bill earlier in the session. This bill
re-cnacted the special law governing the Street
Cleaning Department in the old city OF New
York. which was passed last year after tho
charter had become II law. The charter makes
provision for an Increased number of employees
in the Street Cleaning Department common
suratc with tho work necessary to keep tho
greater city in a clean and sanitary condition.
II Senator Grady's bill had passed II would
have cut off half the working force of the Street
Cleaning Department as provided for in the
charter.
The bill was referred TO the Cities Committee,
and to-day senator Grady explained that what
no had intended was TO restore TIC salaries of u
number of the employees In the street Clean
ing Department TO what they were before Jan. /
when the provision of the charter reduced
them. The Senator therefore presented a sub
stitute bill amending the charter, which in
crcases the salaries of section Ioremen, dump
inspectors, and tug and scow inspectors from
foremen from 5000 TO VI, 900. The bill CON
tains a now provision that Bweepors or.driyers
acting as assistants to section or stable fore
men shall receive 5000 instead OF $3.50.

Proposed Canal improvements Essential to the
Metropolis

Tho text of the letter of Frank Brainard,
President of the New York Produce Exchange,
to Gov. Black, sent to the Governor with the
resolutions adopted by the Canal Committee of
tho Exchange on Wednesday, was made public
yesterday. The resolutions state that 1t Is Of
the utmost Importance that the work of improv.
ing the canals should be finished, though the
appropriation that was made was insufficient.
and President Brainard in his letter says:
''The proposed improvement Is as essential to-
day to our envied position as was the establish
ment of the canal to our supremacy as the En-
pire State. The completion Of the work in
progress will reduce the cost OF transportation
of wheat, Buffalo to New York, from 80 cents
per ton to AT cents per ton I'd cents per bushel
TO l,4l cents per busheD. The con-
sideration Is the influence to DO anticipated in
giving strength and ability TO the state and city
OF New York to meet new and formidable com
~petitiye conditions elsehwcre. The money
granted by the vote Of tho people should be
wisely and economically expended: the actual
cost Is of minor importance when compared TO
the incalculablc benefits. Our natural advan-
tages are transcendent. New York Is the only
State through which tho union, between tide
water and the great lakes can be formed and
perpetuated, and the cessation OF the improve.
mcnts under way would DO q calamity TO the
state and tho great Northwest. In order that
the greatest efficiency may. be had in the i'm.
the commission also report on the advisability
of charging the locks so as TO admit OF boats OF
greater tonnage capacity than has been contem-
plated"

talk with Gov. Black. Aftcrwnrd he went to
tho executive mansion and took lunch with the
Governor. Superintendent Payn Of the Insur-
anco Department was with Mr.. Brookfeld when
he called on the Governor, and the three were
In conference for some time. The subject of
discussion was the proposed legislation affect
ing primaries. Mr.. Brookfeld told the Gov.
ernor in detail tho situation in the Re-
publican ranks in New York, and Gov.
Black told him that he and tho rest
of the straiRht-out Republicans Of the State
wero heartily in favor Of n measure which would
give satisfaction to the protesting element.
Both Mr.. Brookield and Gov. Black agreed that
what WAS needed was legislation that would DO
fair and just all around. in order that all Repub-
licans could stand together against The Bryan
lied Democrats in the State election next fall.
Before returning TO New York Mr.. Brookneld

1t is likely that the weavero may be willing to

The strikers who were paid Off to-day went to
