His majority at the last election was nearly four thousand, and was liberal im 1885, but was won by the tories in 1886 by a narrow majority, It will thus be a test election.

He says he knows from observation that 2dstreet, on which he resides, has not been swept but once a week during the past two years, and is informed that the same is true of ist and 3d streets, First street, from B to F, he says, is put down in the schedule as containing 19,600 square yards, while 2d street, from Pennsylvania avenue to I, about twice the distance, is put down as containing 16,000 square yards, sh carriage way, he says, is the same width, ‘yom measurements made on Hopkin’s map Mr. Crane asserts that the carriage way on lst street, from B to F, contains less than 9,000 by yards, le asserts that he finds similar incorrect ments through the schedule and ys in the contractors’ favor. H street, from 15th to 19th streets northwest, he says, is put down in the schedule as 18,027 square yards, while he calculates it as containing only 13,776 square yards. He sgests that the street-sweeping coutractor,in- ad of stating the number of yards in bulk swept each day, should be required to state the name of the streets or avenues, the distance in length and width and number of square yards swept on each. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT PAY ROLL. Mr. Orane next calls attention to the pay roll of the health department for cleaning by day work unpaved streets and alleys during June, 1889, which foote up 4,062, He says that while number of men employed is stated at63 the number of carte employed is not stated, usual proportion of men copiers’: in cleaning unpaved streets, he says, is three men to one cart. He says that the total number of days those 63 laborers made in the month of June was 1,255, amounting to 1,790.75, while the total number of days allowed for carte was 922}¢, amounting to $1,845, the carts costing $54.45 more than the laborers, when a fair and economical pro- portion of each would make the cout of labor at least twice that of the necessary number of carts. There were fourteen rainy days and a rainfall of 6.01 inches in the month of June. Mr, Crane suggests, as his explanation of this shots , that ee Large oe exist only in imagination or else were drawing pa; while ding idle in the stable. He remarks that the superintendent was paid for 175 days’ work with carte and othera were paid for from Ren Oe: to one hundred and sixty days eacl Mr. Crane says also that the June pay roll for superintendents of street cleaning, who are — per diem, shows that three of the superin- ndents are paid for every day in the month, including Sundays, and the other two for twen- ty-five days each, while the laborers they were ee nies were paid for but twenty days eac! “I observe in looking over the pay rolls that this mode of doing business,” he says, ‘was handed down to the present Commissioners by their predecessors,” THE WATER DEPARTMENT PAY ROLL. Mr. Crane calls attention then to certain fig- ures in the labor pay roll of the water depart- ment for June last. Sixteen calkers, he says, are down on that pay roll as having made three hundred and oe wo days calking water mains, A fair ‘3 work for a calker is thi 12-foot sections or 360 linear feet. those sixteen calkers who were paid for 382 days’ labor as calkers were at work ei 2 water mains all of those days, they should have calked 137,520 feet of 6-inch mains, which is more than has been laid in this Dis- trict during the past four years.

In ham, he says, the streets are generally paved with stone block pavement, and the paving between the rails of the tramway is of the sa general character as that of the roadway, except upon suburban streets having macadam roadways, in which case the paving between the rails and for a space.2 feet exterior thereto is paved with granite blocks 4in.x8in.

But upon all streets with tram- ways visited in the metropolitan district the character of the pavement is the same from curb to curb, IX FRANCE. In Paris he reports that the Boulevard Male- sherbes and the Rue du Louvre is paved with wood, the tramway between the tracks and for about two feet exterior thereto being paved with stone blocks. Along the Quais the roadways are paved with stone blocks, the pavement being the same from curb to curb, including the tramway space.
