STREET CLEANING CONTRACT.
Bids to Be Opened Tomorrow at Dis
trict building.

Bids will be opened at the District build
ing tomorrow at neon covering the contract
work to be done under the supervision of
the street cleaning department during the
next fiscal year. Contracts for three differ
ent classes Of work will, be let, and the ag-
gregate amount will reach to nearly $75, 600.
The specifications for a portion of the work
have been SO drawn as to include a semi
weekly flushing of the important streets in
the downtown section of the city. .--
The Commissioners for some years past
have been anxious to secure separate ap-
preparation for flushing work, believing that
the results to be obtained would justify the
comparatively modest outlay. In their last
estimates they asked for $4,000 to carry
out the plan, but Congress failed to make
the appropriation.
When the specifications for the new
STRENGTHENING contracts were under con-
sideration it was determined to call for
proposals on the basis of sweeping and
flushing on alternate days. The principal
cleaning work in the downtown section,
and over a considerable portion of the
northwest section, is done by hand, the
laborers being employed by the District.
This work will continue next year under
the present system. The three contracts to
be let are for machine sweeping, the clean
ing of unimproved streets and the cleaning
of alleys.
afternoon at o'clock. Late at night the
thoroughfares down town are gone over
with the machines under the contract sys-
tenn. This puts the streets in good condi-
ton for the early morning hours.
1t Is proposed that instead Of this nightly
sweeping there shall be a thorough flushing
instead on at least two nights Of each week.
The specifications for the machine work
call for Cleaning the streets by machine
sweeping or flushing. may be ordered by
the Commissioners
The flushing work Is to be done at the
same rate as the sweeping. It is estimated
that there will be 200, 900. 600 yards of
sweeping and 25.OOO.0O0 yards of flushing
curing the year. The amount of this con-
tract Will be between $40, 900 and $4,000.
The bids for the cleaning of unimproyed
streets are to be based upon a rate per day
for the force employed. This contract viii
amount to about SIS 600. The bids for
cleaning alleys will be based upon a rate
per thousand yards cleaned. The present
rate is 1914 cents per 1000 square yards.
This contract also amounts to about SIS 600
yearly. ~~N0o
The Commissioners have asked for bids
for one, two or three years. It is thought
that in case new bidders enter the field
they would be able to make lower rate
for three years than for one, on account Of
the heavy first cost of plant.

with score of untitled orders for time.
Later a fresh supply was secured. and
the brilliant array of gowns which had
graced the stand earlier, to quote one OF
the ladies. took on an appearance OF an
encampment Of Indians in December.
Back of the stand was a tent where,
among other things, 1t was possible to Sc
cure hot coffee and chocolate. Gentlemen
dressed in the height of fashion were kept
busy for two hours carrying liquid relief to
the suffering ones exposed to the weather.
From 10 o'clock to 1876 am, when the
President arrived, the crowd sat shivering
but good-humored, and seemed to forget all
about the cold when the President bowling
from side to side, arrived.
Guard for the President.
Elaborate precautions to guard the Presi-
dent were made. The grand stand was sur
rounded by soldiers of Company c, LIST
Missouri, who stood at short intervals
around space 200 feet from the stand. AS
an extra precaution a fence of strong rope
was placed around the stand. No one who
could not show convincing credentials was
allowed inside.
Having secured seats, many of the visit
ors. including Mr.. Cleveland found that
they could keep warmer by standing, and
discarded their chairs. They stood with
their hands plunged in their pockets and
their chlnS sunk under their collars while
the parade was passing.

A 1000 class engine was put on the

The other engines we're not heavy
enough to take the loads TO the Park,

a great deal OF time can be saved. The
track on the branch il not in shape for

be some trouble in getting It 1, run
successfully. For the past two weeks
both trains have been making double

unable to handle all the traffic. rhe
mines are working every day and the
coal trade is increasing.
