JERSEY CITY STREET
CLEANERS STILL OUT.
Not a ThOrOughfare Has Re-
ceiyed Attention Since
FRIDAY.
Especial to the Evening Start

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 1.-THE strike
of the employees of the street cleaning
department, who refuse to accept a
half-time schedule for the winter
months, is still on, and not a street in
Jersey City has been cleaned since Fri
day.
COMMISSIONS Martin F. Quinn had a
talk. with Mayor Wittpenn yesterday
afternoon. He found the latter firm in
his stand that the city cannot afford to
increase the street cleaning appro-
priation. in view of the falling off of
tax income from the railroads through
the decision of the Court Of Errors and
Appeals.
If the employees of the department
have not returned to work on Friday
of this week it is believed that Mayor
Wittpenn will send a communication
to the Street and Water Board that
will settle the question of municipal
street cleaning if the board adopts it
If it does not do SO the Board OF
Finance can force it to accept the
Mayors proposition of contract clean
ing. because the latter board controls
the street cleaning fund.
