It will be remembered that some eighteen or more months ago, the District authorities gave the contract for the collection and removal of garbage to Mr. John McCauley for three years at the unusually low price of $10,000 a year— work which is continually increasing as our pulation increases, and which years before had Cost the District a much larger sum annu- ally. The competition for this work at the time of the letting of the bids ran quite high among our contractors, caused by the general stagna- tion of business and the want of work. “Mr. MeCauley, as is well Known, fatled utterly to properly perform the work, and the pubile clamor against him in consequence of his laxity constrained the Commissioners to revoke the contract, and it was given to Mr. I. Clay Jones at the same figures ($10,000 per year), he giving new bonds tor its faithful performance. Health Officer Townshend, whose duty it is to see that jthe work fs faithfully done, and who is by the public held responsible, does not think it has been well done, and states that he has had a very unsatistactory experience with Mr. Jones, as well as his predecessor, McCauley. ‘The “service, in equipment, appointments and execution, has never been up to the standard necessary to the desired efficiency, and in con- sequence of the numerous complaints of citt- zens, he has been compelled to not only require the contractor to put on more horses and carts, but has felt in duty bound to report the true State of the service to the Commissioners, who have from time to time summoned the contractor before them to explain, xc. This has had the effect of chafing him and generat- ing an unpleasantness between the contractor and health officer, who seems to be impelled by a desire only to do his duty to the public. This State of things yesterday resulted iu Mr. Jon ith his counsel, going before the Commisst rs abd having a lengthy talk, during waici the contractor stated that he thought the health cficer too exacting; that he (the con tractor) was doing his utmost to perf the dety without swamping himself entire that he wus every day at the present tline ‘sink- ing from $25 to $30, and he could not contisue to suffer this loss, being a peor man, and he would much rather refer to throw up the contract altozether, &c. efore leaving he submitted a paper to the Com- missioners recapitulating his grievances and asking that a new contract be made with him. The Commissioners replied promptly that they could not assent to any such action; they were posed to do anything within their power and Ine of public duty for his relief, but couid nut annul the contract on the grounds proposed. and that he must do as the health officer had re- quested and go on with the work, otherwise they would be compelled to suspend his coa tract and his bondsmen for loss. ive the work to another, looking to BIDS WERE OPENED ice of the District Com- joners for paving ad street, from Penusyl- avenue to D street, with granite block vement, in Meu of the rotten wood to be re- The bids were as follows:—Jonathan *,¢.; Umber « Fletcher, 61¢.; Mob!
