1t is careless habit to acquire,
that of leaving teams unhitched upon
the streets. Very often serious ac-
cidents follow through runaways oc-

If persons who habitually follow such
practice have no more care for their
own property, they should have
due regard for the lives and property
of others. Against such acts there
is a city ordinance and this should be
enforced. A few examples would be
of great benefit.

the Indictment against the contractors stands Tor

position and believe he should have more time ne

Mr., Whitridge, I'VE viii have something to

Some adverse criticism is now heard on the
action Of the Commissioners in accepting the
Mcdonald bid over that of Onderdonk. 1t is
urged that the latter would have been more
advantageous to the city, In that II offered
500 100000 and a percentage on the gross re-
ceipts a year as against S}5,OOO.O0O and no per-
centage of the receipts. The Street Railway
Journal yesterday printed a summary of the
two bids in contrast. Assuming that the road s
earnings in the first decade $0.OOO,UOO
year in the second decade S6.Oo0,Ooo year, In
the third decade 81 00O000 a year in the fourth
decade SSO00OOO a year, and in the fifth decade
S1O,000OOO q year, and calculating that the
amounts received theTefrom be allowed to &C
cumuate at the rate of 3 per cent, the city
years lease a tunnel free from encum brances
and S21 $40 600 in cash from the Onderdonk
contract. whereas under the Mcdonald contract
the city will receive the tunnel and S4.4SoOoo
This matter has been threshed over and over
again said Controller Coler, when his atten-
ton was called to these figures. We have such
a contract with the Broadway railroad now
How much does the city receive from that? Not
one cent It IS leased TO the Metropolitan Rail-
road Company. and there is no benefit to the
city from the original arrangement. If Mr.. On
derdonk could have given US any guarantee that
the city would receive the benefit promised I'M
der his bid we would have considered il on that
basis. This was impossible, and so his bid was
not accepted
