COMPARISON OF SYSTEMS —————_+—_—_. Mr. Warren Stutler, superintendent of the District street and alley cleaning ée- partment, has submitted to the Comm‘ sioners his annual repert for the pa: together with his estimates and recommen- dations for the fiscal year ending June 20, 1900, as follows: “To the Honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia: “Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit herewith my annual report of the opers- tions of this department, as shown in the accompanying exhibits, for the fisca! year ended June 3%, 1598, with an estimste of the amount necessary for the proper con- duct of the department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, together with such recommendations and suggestions as, in my opinion, will improve the service, and thereby benefit the public. “The amount appropriated for werk of all classes, including employes’ salaries, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898, is as follows: Amount appropriated for work $140,000 Amount for salaries & 24,000 Amount for snow and ice wor! - 1,000 $165,000 total amount has been expended ag in the statements submitted here- with. the distribution having been made at the beginning of the year among the differ- ent branches, according to the amount of wo to be done. Improved Streets and Avenues. “The statement of machine sweeping un- der contract, at 25% cents per 1,000 square yards area cleaned, cubic yards of refuse removed, with cost of same, for the Ascal year ended June 30, 1898, shows these to- tals: Area in uare yards, 240,521,788; cost, 2 debris removed, cubic statement of area and amourt de- ducted on account of inferior work énring the fiscal year shows the aggregate in Square yards to be 1,041,237; total of de- €uetions. $268.11. “Machine eping is done at night, be- tween the hours of 9 p.m. and 6am.

Their duties are to patrol the different sections and see that the work is done properly, report any fail- ure on the part of the contractor to com- ply with contract provisions, note inferior work and any area not swept on account of obstructions. Upon their report allowance is made at the contract rate, which is 32 cents per 1,000 square yards, said area to be kept clean during the day of eight hours. Cause for Deductions. “Should work be suspended on account of rain or other cause, deduction is made ac- cording to the time lost. In other words, if two hours’ time is lost, one-fourth of the area is deducted from the schedule. The total number of days worked —— the year was 268; average number of square a cleaned per day, 441,490; average cost per day, $141 ‘This amount is just $52.96 Inocre than it would cost per day, or $14,198.28 more than it would cost per an- num if the work was done under the direct contro! of the Commissioners without con- tract. This system of cleaning the streets hav- ing been in operation for ene year has en- abied us to figure very closely, and since we have taken charge of a certain portion of this work and have been cleaning the same for one month outside of contract we are satisfied that it can be done for less than has been submitted in former state- nts. meThat the entire paved area of the city can be cleaned by this system satisfactorily and at a cost not to exceed 20 cents per 1,000 square yards has been proven. Improved Alleys. “The work done in improved alleys is 1% the aggregate as follows: Area cleaned, in square yards, 28,023,227; cost, $10,920.06; debris removed, cubic yards, 5,240. “Next in importance to the improved streets and avenues comes the improved alleys. Although they ate not so prominent, yet it is very important that they be kept clean, for the reason that the sanitary con- dition of the city depends largely upon the cleanliness or uncleanliness of the alleys. ‘The funds for this branch of the service being limited and the contract rate high, viz., 39 cents per 1,000 square yards, they could only be cleaned once per week. They should be cleaned at least twice per week. Although the service was not a satisfac- tory one, the people have not complained, knowing that it was the best possible for the money available for that purpose, and at the same time better than for former years. “Two inspectors are employed on this class of work, whose duties are similar to those employed on improved streets and avenues—that is, to see that contract pro- visions are complied with. “The force employed by the contractor during the year was eighteen laborers, six herses and carts, with drivers, and three one-horse sprinklers. The number of days worked during the year was 254; average area cleaned per day, 114,530 square yards, at a cost of $44.61 per day. The contract rate for the current year is 4.06 cents less per 1,00) square yards than for the fiscal year 1898, which will enable us to give a better service. Unimproved Streets. “The statement of work done on unim- proved streets by the -five labor gangs, number of days worked, area cleaned, with cost of same, makes the following exhibit: Total days employed, 263: contract price, $8.75; gross amount, $15,258.75; deduction for loss of time, $2,456.89; net cost, $13,- area, square yards, 35,641,905; debris removed, cubic yards, 16,949. “This branch of the service deals not only with the unimproved streets of the city proper, but a large area outside of the boundary, including Eckington, Washing- ton Heights and Anacostia, also a number of cobble and rubble paved streets too rough to sweep by ‘machine. “The work is done under contract in con- nection with that of cleaning the unim- proved alleys and Center market, the con- tract being to furnish fifty-two laborers, twelve horses and carts, and tools, for the sum of $62.50 per day, with provision to furnish extra laborers, horses and carts at $1 and $1.70, respectively, when ordered by the Commissioners. An equal division of the force into six gangs, after deducting four laborers for the market, gives eight laborers and two horses and carts to each gang, five of which are employed on unimproved streets, at a cost of $48. per day; one on unimproved alleys, at $9.75, and four laborers at the market, at $4 per day. “The five gangs are assigned to different sections of the city, each in charge of an inspector, whose duty it is to see that the roadway is kept clean, the drainage of the gutters clear and free from weeds and grass: also to attend to complaints, if there are any that need attention. “By consulting the table it will be seen that this comparatively small force has kept a large area clean during the year, and thereby rendered valuable service. Many of the unimproved streets are lo- cated in the most densely populated sec- tions of the city. “That the force is inadequate to do the work properly is apparent, for the reason that they are only able to go over the ter- ritory once in two weeks. The force should be so strengthened as to enable them to cover the area once in ten days. During the year $1,078.49 was expended on ac- count of extra labor, horses and carts, provided for in the contract under the head of ‘extra work,’ but not included in the daily rate. Unimproved Alleys. “Statement of work done, with area and cost, give the following results: Total number of days, 269; contract price, $9.75; gross amount, 83,051. deduction for lost time, $427.02; net cost, $2,672.25; area cleaned, square yards, 8,868,935; debris removed, cubic yards, 3,121. _To keep the unimproved alleys clean is a difficult task, and one that requires special pains, for the reason that a great many of them are so narrow that a horse and cart cannot be gotten into them, the laborers having to scrape the filth to the entrance, or carry it out in small receptacles. It is into this class of alleys that most all of the filth id rubbish from adjaeent premises finds its way. Besides they are made dumping grounds by the scavenger or ash man, in defiance of police and sanitary regulations. “The work is done under contract, in connection with that of unimproved street work, at a cost of $9.75 per day for eight laborers and two horses and carts, in charge of one inspector. This class of alleys is cleaned once in seven days, the city having been laid out in seven different routes and schedules printed showing the number of alleys, with the location and the area to be cleaned each day. Center Market. “The statement of number of days work- ed, area cleaned and force employed at Center market, with cost of same during the year, shows totals as follo No. of contract price, $4; net cost, 53; area, in square yards, 7,970,310; removed, cubic yards, 1,072. Vhile the force employed with cost of same on this class of work is very small, yet from # sanitary standpoint ft is the Most Important of any work of the depart- ment. The territory to be kept clean con- sists of the streets around the market with those adjacent thereto. The traffic on these streets is very heavy and of a character that produces large quantities of refuse, which ts of such nature that the most thorough cleaning Is necessary. The streets are so roughly paved-that it is almost im- possible to keep them clean, they having been originally paved with’ rubble, over twenty years ago, and patched from time to time with hump-shouldered cobble stones, until at present the surface is full of holes and ruts, in which decayed vege- table matter gathers. “To keep these streets clean is difficult, not enly from the condition of the pave- ment, but frem the fact that they are al- ways crowded with wagons and carts. If they could be paved with material which would present a smooth surface they could be flushed in connection with brooming, which would enable us to keep them clean, Sprinkling Unimproved Streets and Roads. Statement of number of days worked, with cost of same, shows a total of days worked, 101 4-5; cost per day, $14.80, and $1,507 net cost. “Although a comparatively small sum has been expended on this class of work, the service has been appreciated by not only the citizens living on these streets and roads, but by those who drive over them. “That the sprinkling of these streets and THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1898-12 PAGES. | roads during the summer months has been appreciated has been shown by the ab- sence of complaints to the effect that | homes are invaded by dust, persons blinded with it while driving over them, etc. An- other benefit derived from sprinkling is the Protection to the road bed. ‘As is shown in the table, we expended during the year $1.507 for this purpose. For the current year $2,000 available, which will enable us to sprinkle a few More streets than we were able to do last year. To do this work properly we should fave &n appropriation of $5,000. Snow and Ice Work. “Statement of force employed, with cost of Same, for removing snow and ice during the months of January and February, 1898: Number of laborers, 621; rate per day, $1; cost per day, $683.10; number of horses and carts, 259; rate per day, $1.60; cost per day, $456.61; total ccst, $1,139.71. “This class of work is don? under a pro- vision of the contract for machine cleaning, which provides that payment for the neces- sary force shall be at the market rate, with an allowance of 10 per cent extra for tools. During the winter of 1895 the sum of $9,088 was expended for the removal of snow and ice, but in the winter of 1996, the weather being very mild, only $630.20 was expended. In 1897 $1,949.11 was paid out on this work. “The work bzing an unknown quantity, we cannot estimate for the amount neces- sary. Prior to the act of March, 1897, gov- erning the remcval of snow and ice, in which an appropriation of $1,000 was made, the work was raid for out of the general fund for this department. During the past winter it cost $1,139.71 to remove the snow and ice from the business streets alone, which was $139.71 more than the amount appropriated, which exc2ss was paid out of the general emergency fund. ‘In order that we may be prepared to Mmeet any emergency, we should hav2 for this work an, appropriation of at least $10,- ‘00, which amount, or such part of it as might be found necessary, should be avail- able only for this purpose. Public Dumps. * “Fourteen laborers are employed at tha public dumps, at $1.50 per diem eacn, or at a total cost of $5,949.50 per annum. The public dumps are located in different sec- tions of the city, each in charge of a labor- 2r. These Jabosers are under the super- vision,of a foreman, whose duty it is to visit daily each dump and see that the la- borer in charge thereof is having the work done properly end the dumps kept in sani- tary condition. The dumps being located in differ2nt sections of the city are of great service to the department, saving much time in the removal of the sweepings. Contingent and Other Expenses. “Statement of the cost of tools, printing, livery of superintendent's and inspectors* horses, office furniture, repairs, ete., for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1808: Livery, su- perintendent’s horse, $240; livery, inspect- ” horses, $1,87: all other expenses, $1,- 293.46; total, $3,309.18. “Included in the above amount are the following large items: Five bicycles, printing various kinds of schedules, 3310; repair of sup2rintendent’s buggy, and one set of harness, $61; emptying waste paper boxes, $200.86. Salaries. “Statement of amount paid to the various employes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898: Superintendent, $1,800; chief clerk, $1,600; clerk, $900; four inspecters, at $1,200 each, $4,800; ten inspectors, at $1,100 each, $11,000; three assistant inspectors, at $800 each, $2,400; one foreman of public dumps, $900; one messenger and driver, $600; total amount of salarizs, $24,000; deduct for lost time, $15.35; net amount expended, $23,984.65. The unexpended amount, $15.35, was due to the time intervening between the r2sig- nation aad appointment of one of the as- sistant inspectors. Recapitulation. “Statement of expenditures for the various branches of the service for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898: “Cost of machine sweeping improved Streets and avenues, $61,934.35; cost of hand cleaning, $37,859; cost of cleaning im- proved alleys, $10,929. cost of cleaning unimproved streets, $13,880.87; cost of cleaning unimproved alley: 2,672.25; cost of Center market, $1,757.55; cost of sprin- kling unimproved streets, $1,507; cast of snow and ice work, $1,000; cost of labor on public dumps, $5,949.50; cost of contingent and other expenses, $3,409.18; cost of em- ployes’ salaries, $23,984.65; total, $164,882.91. Total appropriations, $165,000; amount ex- pended, $164,882.91; unexpended balance, $117.09. > Estimate for Fiscal Year 1900. “For daily hand cleaning, entire paved area of the city, $162,000; for cleaning the improved alleys, $10,000; for cleaning the unimproved streets, $15,000; for cleaning the unimproved alleys, $8,000; for cleaning around Center market, $2,000; for sprin- kling unimproved streets and roads, $5,000; for fourteen laborers on the public dumps, $6,578; for inspectors’ horses, $1,020; for contingent expenses, $200; for livery of su- perintendent’s horse, $240; total, $205,983. For snow and ice work,under act of March, 1897, $10,000. “Salaries—For one superintendent, $2,500; for one assistant superintendent and chief clerk, $1,600; for one clerk, $1,200; for one chief inspector, $1,200; for three inspectors, at $1,200, $3,600; for ten inspectors, at $1,100, $11,000; for three inspectors, at $1,100, $3,300; for one foreman of public dumps, $000; for one messenger and driver, $600; total for salaries, $26,000; estimate for department work, $205, for snow and ice = $10,000. Total for all purposes, $241,- 23. . The Expiring Contracts. “The estimates for the fiscal year 1900 differ somewhat from those of former years, not, however, as to the amount, but as to the manner of doing the work. All contracts for doing work under this depart- ment expire June 30, 1899. Your recom- mendation submitted during the last ses- sion of Congress for legislation to do away with the contract system received, to a certain extent, consideration, having been favorably reported by both the District and appropriations committees, and a provision was added to the bill giving authority to use $15,000 of the amount appropriated without contract on the hand cleaning work under the direct supervision of the department. “In view of said action, and the further fact that it has enabled us to demonstrate that this work can be done at 20 cents per 1,000 square yards, instead of 32 cents, the contractor's price, and with better results, at the same time paying our labor better wages, I most respectfully and earnestly recommend that the efforts of the honora- ble Commissioners be continued for legisla- tlon to do away with the expensive and un- satisfactory contract system. That it is unsatisfactory and more expensive than the hand cleaning system by day labor I need not use space to explain, as it must be apparent to all who have paid the slight- est attention to the cost and efficiency of the two systems. “In my estimate for this work I have tak- en as a basis of calculation the cost per 1,000 square yards to do the work under our present system, which has been in opera- tion one month, and has proven to us that the cost per 1,000 square yards will not ex- ceed 20 cents, including plant and wear and tear on same. For $162,000, the amount of the first item, we can clean 8,000,000 yards | daily, or the entire paved area of the city, during the 270, the average number of working days in the year. To clean this area by machine under contract at the present rate, 25% cents per 1,000 square | yards, would cost $208,575, or $46,575 more than it would cost without contract. To ; clean the area by hand at the present con- tract rate, 32 cents, would cost $259,200, or a difference of $97,300. In other words, to whatever amount Congress would appropri-- ate for the work 60 per centum additional would be required under the contract sys- tem beyond the amount required under the system without contract. Will Insure a Better Service. “Having received substantial encourage- ment from the committees during the last session of Congress, we are hopeful that the Commissioners will be given direct con- trol of the work under this department, which will insure a better service, better rate of wages to the worthy labor of the District, the employment of four times the number of men and a saving of money to the District as well as to the general gov- ernment. “For salaries the estimate is the same as that submitted and recommended by the Commissioners for the fiscal year 1899, with the exception of the increase asked for the superintendent, which was not submitted in my estimate, but was a special recom- mendation by the Commissioners. General Suggestions. ~ “I respectfully call the attention of the honorable Commissioners to certain viola- . tions of police regulations and nuisances, which are detrimental not only to the best interests of this départment, but to the public in general. “Removal of ashes—To my mind, this is the worst nuisance that the citizens of the District and this d ent have to con- tend with, on accottnt, principally, of the reckless way in which ashes and rubbish of like character are coRected and disposed of. This work is now being done by any one who can procure-a one-dollar horse and a broken-down wagon or cart, going as they do from housel ta ave r House, ‘This being the only way to have refuse removed from houses and yards, the man is paid by the citizen to do the work, and in removing the refuse, quite frequently, he scatters it from the premises to the treet, where what has not been blown into the faces of persons passing by or scattered ajong.the sidewalks and streets is placed im the wreck of a wagon, with holes in the bottom and sides, and no cover. He then proceeds on his way to the dump, scattering ashes, paper, etc., along the streets as he goes, until finally he reaches the dump and deposits what he has left—provided he does not find a favor- able opportunity to sneak into an alley, as is very frequently the case, and dump his load for this department to remove. Rule in Other Cities. “In most all cities that in any wise com- pare with Washington in size and impor- tance in the United States ashes and refuse of like character are moved at public ex- pense. Why not in Washington? The citi- zens pay taxes here the same as in other cities, and it would seem that what has been done to the satisfaction of the people of other cities would apply equally as well to Washington. Too much stress cannot be put on the necessity of having this class of work done under the immediate control of the Commissioners and at the public ex- pense, and it would in the end cost the citi- zens no more than at present. “If, however, legislation with the neces- sary appropriation cannot be got through Congress to do the work in this way, I would recommend that each person, before being allowed to remove ashes and such refuse, be required to present his wagon or cart for inspection, after which, provided his wagon conforms to certain regulations, @ permit be issued him and the number of same painted on his wagon. In this way persons violating the police regulations could be easily detected and their permits revoked, which would insure a better ser- vice for this class of work. Sanitation Considered. “Keeping the main thoroughfares of the city in a condition to invite the favorable ecmments of visitors is only a small part of the duty of the street cleaning department. The uncomplaining poor should be as care- fully considered as those whose stately resi- dences line our broad streets and avenues. A proper sanitary condition demands that every lane and alleyway, every cellar and back yard, should be kept free from filth and noxious odors. The battle of this de- partment is not against besiegers from without, but to conquer dirt within, to slay iu the inception the germ-breeding refuse with which the city is littered daily, in or- der that, through cleanliness, health shall be preserved, happiness intensified and pride of streets and byways made to rank with pride of home and fireside. “Some streets and alleys require more at- tention than others, and it does not follow that, because certain streets are swept more frequently than others property own- ers on these streets ought to pay a special tax for such additional attention. For in- stance, the business portions are traveled by the whole community and everybody assists in making these portions of the city dirty, and they should, therefore, help to keep them clean, as they are no doubt grat- ified to find while traversing them that they are in a cleanly condition. “In my opinion, the-problem of street cleaning is one more of. organization than of anything else. It requires the same sort of ability as is required and found in large transportation companies and other corpor- ations employing great bodies of men. Its technical details arc comparatively simple, and require no extended*knowledge of en- gineering or other science, though there is, doubtless, room for, improyement in the mechanical appl.ances now employed. It is my purpose to watch the progress of in- vention in such appliances, experiment with them, and recommend sweh as are useful. “In closing this my: first annual report, I take much pleasurevin acknowledging the valuable assistance whieh I have received during the year from’ all the employes of the department. They’ -have attended to their many and onerdus duties with as much zeal and enthusiasm as they would have given to private pursuits from which they expected ifberal compensation and high honors, and whatever the success of the department, much of it is due to them.” aay eee RETURN OF THE TEXAS, Big Battle Ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for fhepairs. Back from the coast of Cuba, battle- scarred and powder-stained and punctured in spots, with her formidable guns bris- tling in the sunlight and her officers and crew laughing and cheering like schoolboys on a holiday trip, the United States battle stip Texas, Cupt. J. W. Philip in command, steamed slowly up the lower bay from San- dy Hook yesterday forenoon on her way to the Brooklyn navy yard. For a brief period she remained at anchor off Tompkinsville, Staten Island, to receive the mail and dis- patches, and as soon as these were got on beard the vessel proceeded slowly to her destination amid salvos of greeting from the thousands of people who crowded the decks of the outward-bound excursion beats. The man in charge of the steam siren on the Texas worked like a beaver-replying to the hearty reception, and the brave sail- ors responded with waving caps and hand- kerchiefs as they stood on the main dec! dressed in white duck suits, which stood out in bold relief against the superstruc- ture which still wore that dark color now known as “Uncle Sam’s war paint.” Capt. J. W. Philip was on the bridge d'recting the course of the Texas, and by his side stood his executive officer, Lieut. Commander G. E. Harber. Among the ofti- cers who were congregated on the quarter deck was one by whose inventive genius the death-dealing and destructive powef of the two 12-inch guns in the turrets was in- creased three-fold, Lieut. F. J. Haeseler, of whom Capt. Phillp made special mentivn in his report of the destruction of Admiral Cervera’s fleet off Santiago. When the Texas reached the navy yard the dock was crowded with blue-jackets and marines, who greeted their fellows with feverish enthusiasm and welcomed them back with joyous cheers. . Willing hands did the work of securing the vessel to her moorings at the dock, and as soon as the gangways were placed in position, hundreds of relatives of the men aboard rushed to embrace the heroes who had fought so nobly and successfully in the cause of humanity. ‘The general outward appearance of the big floating fort showed that the Texas had had a rough time of it, and a close in- spection revealed the Places where the shells of the dons had ptnetrated the port bow and starboard superstructure.
