The Superintendent of Street Sweep
ing Asks for S35 600.
Mr.. Warner Stutler the superintendent OF
the District street cleaning department. to-
day submitted to the Commissioners the
following supplemental estimate in connec-
ton with the work Of the department dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80. 1902:
For collection and disposal Of ashes and
miscellaneous refuse from hotels. apart
ment houses. markets and other business
establishments, $4,000.
Mr.. Stutler explains that the estimate
submitted for the current year for collec-
refuse was S150,0O0. The amount appro-
priated was only $ll5,o0o, $4,000 less than
the amount necessary to do the work
The lowest bids received and accepted for
the various classes of work are as follows
For collection and disposal of garbage, sol.
go; for collection and disposal OF ashes
from private residences, $29,SI9; for conec-
ton and disposal of night soil, $1,000; Tor
collection and disposal of miscellaneous
refuse from private residences. 5000: totai'
S1o6579 leaving a balance of SAL for IN
spection service and incidental expenses.
which amount was just sufflcient, says Al1.
Stutler TO meet the necessary expenses
The lowest bid received for collecting
ashes from all private residences. notes
business establishments. ETC., was $9s.Uoo,
which could not be accepted, on account oA
lack of appropriations
"Since the inauguration, Mr.. Stutler
states, ''of the service of collecting ashes
and miscellaneous refuse from private resi-
dences we have had numerous calls from
business men asking why the service could
not be extended to include hotels, apart
ment houses markets and business estab-
Ilshments The claim is made that since
the city is doing a part Of the work 1t is
hard 10 find a private collector, the majority
of them having gone out OF business. This
is certainly true. and many other reasons
might be pointed out why the service should
be extended. but in view Of the fact that
the subject was thoroughly discussed dur
ing the last session of Congress and the
only difference Of opinion in the minds OF
the members of the appropriation commit
tee appeared to be as to the amount of the
appropriation necessary to do the work, as
the lowest proposals offered (and accepted
have clearly demonstrated the accuracy of
my calculations, 1 respectfully submit the
estimate again without further comment"
