DOwIing Picks Flaws
When Mayor Asks $780,
coo TO Pay for Cleanup.
.FETHERSTON METHODS
RECEIVE CRITICISM
Proposed Ordinance Calling for
Arrest of Negligent House
Owners Is Ridiculed.

Frank /. Bowling. acting President
of the Board OF Aldermen and the new
Tammany member of the Board of Esti-
mate, made some pertinent criticisms
OF the methods Of the Street Cleaning
Department in the removal of snow at
the meeting of the board yesterday, to
the discontinue of Mayor Mitchell
and other members. The Mayor asked
/ unanimous consent to bring up an ap-
plication from Commissioner Fether-
ston for the issue of $4,000 of rev
enuc bonds for "snow removal"
II was explained by the Mayor that
the Commissioner wanted s125,000 for
the purpose of connecting th water
mains with the sewers so that when the
snow is dumped into the sewers the
water could be turned on to carry II
away. The remaining $4,000 was
needed, the Mayor said, to try out a
mechanical device for loading snow on
motor trucks. According TO the Mayor
the department had been greatly haSdi-
capped this winter By the failure to
obtain emergency laborers and suf-
ficient number of trucks. II it had not
been for the snow ploughs in use this
year. he said, it would have been diff
cult to have kept open the main thor
oughfares.
"But when householders clear the
sidewalks and the cutters OF their prop
erty the city's snowscrapers and
ploughs come along and hll up the
cutters" said Alderman Bowling.
On Fifth Avenue. the Mayor said,
the snow was scraped into the middle
Of the,st-tet. Alderman Dowling de-
clared that was not the case on Nlntn
Avenue. where he lived. Mayor Mitchell
explained that on the avenues where
there were car lines the snow had
: 70 be scraped to the side OF the street

"How about this ordinanc'. which

} fore the Board of Aldermen asked

laughter at Mr. Marks's expense. Inc

Bowser was going home in the street
car one evening when he noticed two
women who sat opposite him were
looking him over very closely and evil
dently talking about him. He bent
his ear to gather their words and heard
one Of them say:
'sThat is Mr.. Bowser Of Third place
You have read about him in the pa
pers. He is a great man"
II don't see It. He may have done
great things, but he don't look 1t. If
you hadn't told me who he was !
should say that he was an insignif1-
cant man.
"Well, come to look at him, I'll agree
that there is something lacking, with
out character or dignity. If he was
my husband I should give him a bit
of advice that would aid greatly to dig
Nifty him. should advise him to grow
chin whiskers.''
But why?" queried the other.
Because, don't you see, his face Is
too round, and because you never yet
saw man with chin whiskers but
that they seemed to add to his dignity
and greatness. His face wants to be
heightened out, as it were, and moth
ing but chin whiskers will do it. 1t is

they continued to comment and criti-
else, and when Mr.. Bowser reached
home the first thing he did was to rush
upstairs and survey his face in the
glass. He looked at it from oil angles
and straight in the eyes and exclaimed
to himself:

He had never worn any whiskers at all,

he wagged long whisker below his

he was guilty of some criminal act and
trying to hide his identity? And Mrs.
Bowser? Would she be pleased or
gibe at him? And his mother-in-law?
Would she say that she could dearly

whiskers. but she had no use for one.
