January Grand Jury Foreman

Street cleaning contractors who violate
their contracts were denounced today by
William j. Bradley. Jr., foreman of the
January Grand Jury. which condemned the
condition Of Philadephia's streets in it's
presentment last Thursday.
Mr., Bradley said the contrast between
the condition of streets in this city and in
the cities of Europe should make Phladel-
pha blush for shame"
"The contractors are worse than the
drivers" Mr.. Bradley said. When it rains
pedestrians are despatched with mud, and
there seems to be no redress for the per-
