STUTLER HITS BACK
He Reiterates His Charges Against
Street Sweeping Contractors. :
ASKS THAT CONTRACT Be ANNULLED
Charges Of Bad Sweeping Made
in His Answer.
REILLY TO THE CONTRACTORS

Mr.. Warner Stutler, superintendent of the
District street cleaning department today
submitted to the Commissioners a state
ment with reference to that filed with the
Commissioners yesterday by Messrs. Dag
gett & Dugan, who hold the contract for
c2eaning daily by the hand system about
], 100000 square yards of the city's streets
and avenues. The contractors statement,
published in full in yesterdays Star, Mr..
Stutler asserts is largely a confession OF
the truth of his charges; but they frame
their avoidance in so plausible a manner. he
says as to possibly deceive many who are
not familiar with the circums tances, few
of which he enumerates
He quotes the act making approprat ton
for the work, and says a provision was put
in the bill at the instance of Albert Daggett
ard his attorney, Mr.. j. NJ, Wilson.
Inc specifications were prepared in ac-
ccTdance with said provision, and MesSrS.
Daggett & Dugan bid on them and were
awarded the contract.
Vigorous Statements
Mr.. Stuter declares in conclusion: The
contractors deny having instructed their
men to skip over the work My inspectors
report that the men say they We're given
such instructions by the contractors fore
men. AS proof that they did give such in
slructions, l have only to refer to the con-
tractors assertion that it was not neces-
sary, and that it was not done by the men
after my inspectors notified them that 1t
must be done.
In reference to the payment of the men,
the contractors state that l was aware
that on the list of July, prior thereto,
they had decided to pay their men on the
LIST and 18th, instead of weekly, was
their custom. l must state that l never
heard of any such arrangement. The first
that | knew of their refusal to pay the
men weekly. as previously, was when In
spector Dubant reported that the men
went to the Office of their superintendent,
Mr.. La Rowe, on the Sth inestant, to re-
ceive their pay, and We're notified that they
could get no money, but could get what
they wanted at the contractors store
THE contractors claim that they have
not asked the men to deal at the store;
but my inspectors report that the foremen
for the contractors go to the men daily and
take orders from them. And, also, men
have complained to me that they were dis
charged under last years contract for not
dealing at the store; and men that are on
the force now say that if they could get
the money for their work they could go to
market on Saturday evenings and buy much
more for their money than they get of
Daggett & Dugan.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-07-22
COMPLAINTS of the Men.

"The men have complained to me and
to my inspectors since the 18th, on ac-
count of the fact that they had not re-
ceived their pay; and they would have
quit work last Monday, the 18th, but for
the encouragement given them by my in
stIuctions A number of them have been
to my house and to my office to ask that
! see their landlords and grocers TO explain
the situation.
The contractors say that / have cut off
more work in fifteen days than has been
cut off in seven years. What | have cut
off has been justified by the specifications,
which l admit may be more severe on the
contractors than those they were work
ing under last year, which specifications
We're drawn up by Mr. Albert DagSett, and
were adopted by the then superintendent
of street cleaning, Major McKensie, at his
suggestion, as a copy of them in Mr.. Dag
gets handwriting will prove.
No Money Yet Due.
1.-The contractors say that I have refused
to pay for work already done. The con-
tract provides for monthly payments, and
the month is not up until July Il, therefore
not one cent is due them until that time,
as they well know.
There are many other minor details of
the specifications which the contractors
have failed to comply with. which l need
not quote at present, but may when call
ed for.
in conclusion, l have to call your at
tention to the fact that section of the
specifications provides that the streets be
cleaned daily when weather permits. The
streets We're not cleaned on the 2lst in
slant, for the reason that the contractors
men quit work on account of not having
received their pay. That the contractors
have violated their contract from the
time they commenced work to the pres
ent time must be apparent to every one ia
miliar with the specifications and with their
work
IN view Of said violations and the fur
Their fact that they show no disposition to
do the work according to the specifications
of their contract, / respectfully recommend
that they be suspended, and that other
parties be employed to do the work, this
in conformity with section of the general
stipulations."
The contractors will be given a hearing
one day next week on the suggestion made
to the Commissioners by Mr.. Stutler, that
the contract with them be suspended and
that others be employed to do the work.
