THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1860. 8 CITY XTITISIXIGEPJCI2. FAIRMOUNT PARK. The C'-"tnmllonrrn nt Work In Fjmot A Por lion of the t'onlrn Ktrcrt I'anMrnKcr It nil way Tmrk Iteinoved Idist Night by Thi-ir Hirer lion. By an aft of the State Legislature, unproved April 14 IM8, the Park Commissioners were Riitliorizl nil empowered to vacate any street or alley cm braced within the limlta of Kainnount l'ark, except ing only oirard avenue. In accordant with the provisions of thiH aet of Assembly, and the general now era vested In the Commissioners, they pa-wed a resolution on December 20, 1WW, declaring Coates street landing avenue, ami I'anal street vacated Within the boundaries of the i park. Another resolution, paused the same day, directed hat the Green and coates Street Passenger Hail way Company be notitled to remove the rails of their track from Cumin's Mills, the outer terminus of their road, to the intersection of the track with Pennsyl vania avenue, the eastern boundary of the Park. This notice was repeated two weeks ago. and the limitation terminated on the loth of May. The track not having been removed by the com pany, in compliance with the notice of the Tnrk Commissioners, the latter di rected the Chief Commissioner of Highways to remove it, tinder the directum of the Committco'ni the l'ark Commission on Superintendence and 1'olice. This was accordingly dune last night, and a portion tif the fence surrounding the grounds of the l-'uir-mount Water Works whs placed across Coxites street, short distance from Pennsylvania avenue, a gate for the entrance of vehicles being placed In the centre of it. This was done to notify the public that the Park Commissioners had taken full possession of that portion of Coates street and Landing avenue which the law has embraced within the piescrltx-d limits of the Park. The ta.-k of removing the rails on Coates street was conmietic'd nt midnight, but the Chief Commis sioner of Highways was supported by unci) n ilirr,. orce of men. that quick work w as made with the business, ami In a short time the rails were all wrenched from their places and thrown around mis cellaneously, as In the fatuous raid on Broad street a few weeks ago. Several prominent r.olitictans and capitalists Inte rested In the Given and Coates Streets Hallway Com pany were Informed of the contemplated action of the Park authorities, and were present to witness. their own discomfiture. I heir bucks were conside rably elevated, as a mutter of course, and they were by no means choice In the selection of" their words denouncing the enterprising vandalism of the Commissioners. Hut all their fuss and fume availed them nothing, and their cherished rails were ruth lessly removed before their very eyes. The action of the Park Commissioners In this matter will render It necessary for the passenger railwav company to locate their terminus on Coates street, east of Twenty-third, nntll the next session of the Legisla ture at least. This company will then probably ap peal to our lawmakers and secure from theni per mission to continue their track along some of the ildc streets. We understand that the Park Commission contem plates the removal of the sidewalks ami cobble stones, ami the commencement of the Improvements necessary to render this portion of the l'ark as attrac tive as possible, as speedily as circumstances and the occupancy of the buildings still remaining within the limits of the l'ark will permit. THE STREETS. Their Condition, and what the Com rncior irc Doing. Since awarding the contracts for cleaning the streets of the city, the Hoard of Health have been giving particular attention to the subject. Thev have not only compelled the contractors to furnish weekly reports of the work they have accomplished, but they have had thn various etreets inspected, so jne to know that the labor lias been done, and that teVhstandT,;; ttU m3-HZZZnnl nre coming In daily of the liiiiuue 01 "",vJs thoroughfares, and these'dncumcnts, in " cut of ten, refer to that portion of the city which ia the most thickly populated, and to the districts Which compose the smallest space of ground. While Home of the contractors have performed their duty faithfully, and these districts comprise the suburbs, several of them, it is evident, have not all been dili gent, though they are required to have their dis trict thoroughly cleaned by June 1. If this is not done the BdPJd of Health will refuse to pay their bills. Those contractors who arc most complained, of, claim that it is impossible tor them to get the neces sary workmen to o the work, but this will not be held as tin exctlse if the streets are not in a good condition at the prescribed tline. In such an event the Board will themselves direct the work to be per formed, the cost of which will be taken from the sum agreed upon by the defaulting contractor, and should lie further fail In his duty, his security will be held responsible. Tne district from which the complaints come are the Filth, Sixth, sevemn, wgiiui, fi!i? ar,,l ti'iilrtjont.h. which cover thn '""'Vi.tn.T ini.tir,.ia ,.r iu".V-1 .0 tying portions of Fifth District From South Rlvth street to thn Delaware. to Chesnut, and Sixth District From South to Chesnut, and Sixth to Broad streets. Seventh District From South to Chesnut, and Broad to tke Schuylkill. Eighth District From Chesuut to Vine, and Sixth street to the Delaware. Ninth DiBtrtct From Chesnut to Vine Btreets, and Sixth to Broad. Thirteenth District Vine to Foplar streets, and Broad to the Schuylkill. Several of the districts are already cleaned, and snch being the case, the contractor has little or no trouble to keep them so. But in the above districis the complaints of the citizens are numerous, and nearly all of these documents refer to the condition of small thorongtifares, which, it is claimed, in con Bequcnce of the near approach of summer, should be attended to at once. The Board of Health are paying special attention to these cases, so that by the beginning of the ex ceedingly warm weather our citizens may calculate to see the thoroughfares in the cleanly state for which Philadelphia, only a few years back, received bo excellent a reputation all over this country. The work on the part of the iKiard has been a laborious ne, for it must be remembered that the tilth which has nearly rendered some of the streets Impassable has leen the accumulation of a year, and to see the rapidity with which dirt will gather it is only neces sary to visit Dock street, between Second and Front, Where, in some places, it is several Inches In depth. The ash business has also been a source of com plaint, but this has mainly arisen from the neglect of the contractors to issue circulars notifying the resi dents of their districts of the particular days on which the carts will visit the various localities. This trouble can easily be obviated, and it is understood that the Board of Health will require the above duty f the contractor. roMCB Appointments.
