In the event of the contractors failing to perform their duty. the Superin- tendent of Streets was authorized to have auch work performed, and charge the same ‘ta the account of the contractor; and should that prove inaufficient to reim- burse the eity for the expense so incurred, the Comp- troller was directed to proceed against the sureties of the contractor to recover such deficiency, Contracts were taken under these conditions.last July; and from the very start the contractors failed to per- form their duty. Their contracts were glaringly violat- | ed, in gross and in detail, and we are informed by the Commissioner of Streets and Lamps, Mr. George G. Gla- air, that they don’t pretend to comply with their obli- gations, and make no accret.of their doreli¢tion of duty. There is one thing, however, in which these gentlemen, betray a most laudable industry: that is, in their prompt appearance at the Cowptroiler’s office on pay day, which | oceura twice a month. With astonishing perseverance, they have been known to wade through their own-filth, brave the perils of that “middle passage,” Broadway, | with its multitudinous omnibuses, and Jeg-breaking, horse-destroying, slippery mud and slime, and make their way to the Auditor's esk in the Comptroller's of- fice, where they receive their well-earned pay. ‘There is a question that very naturally arises here>— What nght has Comptroller Flagg to pay those -men® The ordinan:e organizing the departments of thecity « government expressly provides that no moneys shall be paid by the Comptroller unless upon requisition from. the heads of departments under whose auspices the work is performed. Now, since those contreote have been entered into, the Commissioner of Streets and Lamps has not, save in one instance, signed’any of the bills paid by the Comptroller, and consequently every cent paid by him without that signature ia illegally takep out of the city treasury. Comptroller Flagg has become somewhat notorious for his refusal to pay officials who bad performed theinduty, when their salaries became due, If the question is not too hard to answer, will he be good enough to enlighten the public with bis reasons for illegally. paying those contractors whe have not the shadow of claim .on the city for servicenperformed. There in another dreadfully muddy question that wants settling badly. The law authorizes the Commis- sioner of Streets and Lamps, in the event of the cantrac- tor not performing his duty, to have the work done and charged to his—that is, the contractor’s—account, Lage September, the Commissioner, at the urgent request of many citizens, proceeded, in accordanoe with’ law, te. have the Tenth ward cleaned; but on the bills being pres sented to the Comptroller, he declined paying them, om what ground is not stated., The Commissioner, find- tng himself thus checked in his endesvors to purify the city, declined paying any further attention to the mat- ter, aud so, between the Comptroller, the Commissioner, and the contractors, the city is bewitched out of over one hundred thourand dollars for work which every one knows is not performed. In the meanwhile the city remains in a. shamefal condition, It looks like one of the. towne in, Egypt after the Nile has subsided, leaving its debris on the streets, Everything is mud—mud in the. streeta and on the sidewalks, in the halls and in the parlors. Every article of clothing within @ foot of the ground is saturated with this most unpleasant product of dirt and moisture, The female portion, of the compupity, of conrse, sufer most. Their appearance would fally jus- tify Milton's famous lines, for they aro indeed— Women, to the waists, and fair, But ending foul in many o dirty fold. No portion of the city is exempt. To describe one “street would ¥e to describe.all of them, Garbage, dead * cats, dead horses and dead dogs, ashes, decayed vogeta- bles, and ali manner of anclean things, meet the eye at every turn, ‘The carcass of a dead horse remained un- disturbed three days ia Centre aizeet, opponite the mar- ket, and direetly in front of & police station house. Im tie neighborhood of the docks and markets it 1 ,partt- cularly Gitby, and the stench that arises from thems, even in this cold weather, is overpowering. How long our citizens will stand this state of things we know not; but even their patience will some day have an end. We should not be at all surprised if they shoul& one day rise in their might and sweep Comptroller, contractors, mud and all, into some common receptacle: for unclena things.
