CHANGE IN THE RULES
The District Commissioners today ap-
p, owed the schedules of streets to be clean
ed during the coming fiscal year, the
schedules having been prepared by Mr.
Warner Stutler, the superintendent of the
District street cleaning department. After
July 1 there will be 100000 square yards
of streets and avenues daily cleaned by
what is known as the hand system, which
is nearly double the now cleaned by
hand the District and the contractor now
cleaning by this system 1881 square
yards. Among the extensions of the hand
cleaning work arranged for next year are
included 1+th street, on which the work
will be extended to Whitney avenue, Mt.
Pleasant; Pennsylvania avenue, from 18th
street east to 34th street west; H street,
from 18th street east to 21st street west,
and several cher prominent thoroughfares,
which are largely responsible for the dirt
required to be carried away.
In the new Misunderstanding schedule are In
clUded many of the streets now being
cleaned three times d week by machines.
During the next fiscal year no streets will
be cleaned by machine more than twice
week, and the streets to be so cleaned are
embraced in six schedules. These streets
will be cleaned in the order of the num-
bered schedules, and whenever it rains or
storms to such extent as to prevent the
work scheduled for that day being done,
the streets on that schedule will not,
is the rule now, await their next turn. but
will be cleaned on the next favorable day,
the other schedules then following i'll their
regular order. In addition to the 1,2OO.Oo1
square yards to be daily cleaned Icy hand,
there will every week day be about I0U. tEU
square yards cleaned by machine.
The Cost Reduced.
AS has been heretofore stated in The
Star the cleaning of the streets will, dur
ing the coming fiscal year, be done at
greatly reduced cost to the District. At
present the District pays for the machine
work 25&. cents per 1909 square yards, and
next year it will pay but 10 cents per 1000
square yards The Misunderstanding work is
now being done partly by the District and
partly by the contractor, the latter being
paid 81 cents per 1000 square yards, while
the District is doing the same character OF
work for less than ~ cents per $50 square
yards. During the next fiscal year The
Misunderstanding work will be done entirely
by contract, and the contractor will receive
for the work 2114 cents per 1000 square
yards.
