There wis set aside at the first of the | year 306,24 for street cleaning, to which | has been added $1,046 collections. The present balance In this fund is $3,203, | some of which s due for recent claims | and wages, and part of which belongs to the South Bide territory for the last five months of the year. It Is singular that notwithstanding South Omaha came into the greater city with no funds for the last five months, the street cleaning and other work has been provided for until the last of the year. Heavy Pay Roll. ‘The pay-roli of the street cleaning de- partment for the first five months of this year was nearly $45,000, divided by months in this manner: January, $5,000; February, $0,000; March, $10,000; April and May, $16,00. The snow last winter was exceptional. As soon as the street clean- ers removed one heavy fall of the beauti- ful, another heavy fall would follow. Bome of the city officials contend that the snow conditions this year constituted & legal “emergency,” In which event money may be diverted from another fund to make up the street cleaning de- floit. ‘The strest cleaners are feeling rather glum over the outlook. Most of them Have families to support and it means much to them. Hoapital Funde w, The funds of the City Emergency hos- pital on Douglas street and the smallpox hospital on the Center street road also aro noarly exhausted, but these Institu- tions present a somewhat different mitua- tion. The heaith commissioner In times past has been sustained in his demands for more money because of the nature of these hospitals. Ho contends there have been an unusual number of acarlet fever D —— . pital, as high as forty being cared for one time. At the first of the year #6,000 was set aside for this hospital and the receipts to date have heen $2,108, By Bepteraber 1 the fund will have béen com- pletely exhausted. The same condition applies to the =mallpox hospital. ‘The department of public accounts and finance will refuse to Isstie any more war- rants after this week for the street clean- ing department unless the fund is re- Plenished.
