UNDER DISTRICT CONTROL.
Somm1ssf0ners Ask for Authority t.
Manage Street CIeaninR

HandSe street Cleaning.
The District Commissioners TODAY re-
quested the House committee on appropria-
lions TO authorize them to have the work
OF cleaning tie streets during the coming
nscal year dore without contract and under
tnelr immediate supervision. That is, the
commissioners asked the committee to au-
thorize the performance Of the work after
July i. 1900. by the District.
In their estimates of the expenses Of tho
District during the next fiscal year the
commissioners included an item of s3OO, 900
Tor sprinkling. sweeping and cleaning the
streets and roadways of the District, but
omitted TO suggest any method of disburs-
ing the requested appropriation. Today
they recommended to the House appropria-
tiohs COMMITTEES that the following provtso
of 500 600:
Provided, that the amount so appropri-
ated. or such part thereof as the Commits
slonerS may deem advisable may be eX-
pended under the Immediate direction of the
Commissioners, without contract"
AS mas been heretofore explained in The
star. Mr.. Warner Stutler the superinten-
dent of the District street cleaning depart
ment, has demonstrated to the entire salts
faction of the Commissioners that the mu-
cheaper than 1t was being done under the
contract system, but theo:ths District can
do 1t cheaper than the contractors are now
doing 1t, although the contract price Is
much less than was formerly paid the con-
tractors. The Commissioners also believe
that the work can be fnereG satisfactorily
performed by the District than under the
contract system. Therefore, they are de-
sirous that Congress shalRauthorize its per-
1ormance hereafter by the municipality.

Talk at This Time Premature.

But all talk of negotiations to that end at
this time is premature, as 1t may be stated
with authority that the department does
not intend to take the matter up now. It
is said that the only warrant for the agita-
ton Of the question at this time is found
in the fact that some parties in New York
would like as a business proposition to ne
gotiate the sale Of the islands, probably for
the commission that might be got out OF
1t. 1t is said that if the time comes, as 1t
