"A very important advance was made in
the matter of designating parcels of land
for convenience Of reference in making as
sessments by the passage Of An act to
distnctiyely designate parcels of land in
the District of Columbia~for the purpose of
assessment and taxation and for other pur-
poses, approved March 3, 1893 which es-
tabhshcd system designed to give to each
parcel of land designation to distinguish
it from every other parcel But through a
misunderstanding the scope of this law does
not fully cover the subject in that it omits
TO make any provision for specifically des-
igTating parcels Of duly designated lots
wien the title t. such paYccs passes by

STREET CLEANING.
Fast Year Remarkable One in De-
partInent's History

The past hs' al year was in many re
spects a remarkable one for the street
cIeannS department In that year trial
was made, under the authorization of
Congress, of the relative merits and cost
Of street cleaning by hand under contract
and without contract under the direct CON
troll of the Commissioners. The contractor
was being paid 81 cents per thousand
square yards for the work of hand clean
ing; ana upon the positive assurance Of the
superintendent of street cleaning that the
work could be done under the direct SUI
perVistCn of the Commissioners for less
than 20 cents per thousand square yards
Congress granted an appropriation Of S15,-
WB to be expended in such manner as an
experiment. OF the $1,000 appropriated
the sum of $l3,56ih1 expended, and
the total area cleaned for this amount was
I5.3o63SJ square yards. making the cost
to the District per thousand square yards
about IL cents, saving of IA cents per
thousand square yards on the contract
price, or, In other words. the work was
done for but little more Than one-half Of
the price paid the contra ctOr.
The superintendent of street cleaning
paid the men employed by him on the hand
cleaning work S1.23 per day. while those
employed by the contractor upon the same
work received but 81 per day. With wages
at 81 per day the superintendent could
easily have reduced the cost to Ii cents per
thousaTd square yards. or Cnc-half the
price paid the contractor.
Good Impression Made.
Congress dill not deem it best TO place
the work of street cleaning under direct
municipal control. but the showing made
by the superintendent of street cleaninl,
made a profound impression upon the
members of the committees and redounded
greatly to the benefit of the District On
