CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION.
The Operation lr the Year 1870.
The first annual report of the Citizens'
Association for the Improvement of the
Streets and Roads of Philadelphia has just
been published in pamphlet form. The
Board of Directors, in their report to the
association, say: They owe publio acknow
ledgment to the High Constables of the city
for efficient services within the scope of their
authority, and they regret they cannot in like
manner accord praise to some others of the
public officials for equal readiness to subserve
the publio interests.
The board does not hesitate to declare that
a vast number of complaints affecting the
lives, health, comfort, convenience, and
business of our people can be promptly reme
died, if those upon whom the duty rests,
under the law, will take the same pains to
apply the cure as they do to shirk the respon
sibility or to excuse the offenders. It is to
be remarked, however, that notwithstanding
the obstacles thus pointed out, this associa
tion has, by steady and persistent efforts, by
the power of the name of the association, and
by the cordial support of almost the entire
press of the city, and the moral support of the
people, forced at the hands of some of these
very reluctant officials the abatement of very
many publio highway grievances. It is not
necessary for the Board of Directors to advise
the members of the Citizens' Association of
the shameful and disgraceful state of the
streets of Philadelphia, either in respeot to
their repair, or filthy condition; such as would
be tolerated by no other city than the very
patient, long-suffering and highway-taxed
city of Philadelphia. The Board of Health,
as at present organized, has proven to be a
failure, and we do aot hesitate to say that
in our judgment it is incompetent to
perform the duties imposed upon it. It has
failed entirely in the work assigned to it of
having the streets kept clean. This is no
reflection upon the character of its members
as individuals, for in the first plaoe the
board did not ask to have that branch of mu
nicipal business committed td them, and in
the second place, they are unpaid agents, who
have each their own affairs to attend to, and
can scarcely be expected to give gratuitously
their time and IoXjui to a mutter which re
quires earnest and unremitting oversight.
They have failed in these particulars:
First. They have drawn their contracts in
terms calculated to allow evasion. The con
tractors are required to keep the streets clean,
but no fixed number of sweepings (as a
minimum) for each and every street is called
for by the contract. Thus it is left to the
judgment of, perhaps, incompetent and pos
sibly interested inspectors to judge whether
the contractors have done their duty.
The publio has reason to be much dissatis
fied that at least one contract was given to a
party whose warrant had been refused the
signature of tbe Mayor for failure to fultil a
former contract.
Second. The board has clearly shown an
unwillingness to stop the pay of the contrac
tors for neglect of dnty, and. to annul eon
tracts, as will bo infcta&eeu by the corres
pondence appended hereto.
Third. Complaints are referred to an in
spector, and his reports are received as evi
dence, irrespective of the loud eomplaiats of
citizens, the daily press, and of this associa
tion. Fourth. The Board of Health having the
power to remove the oyster cart nuisance, has
failed to do its duty in that respect.
The members of the Board of Health must
see, in their own daily walks, that which any
other citizen who is not blind sees, that there
are streets upon which the sweeper has not
trod for months and years that heaps of filth
are stirred up, and piled in regular succession,
only to be again scattored, and repiled after
the lapse of weeks or months.
That the sewer inlets Hre shamefully foul
that street sweeping is done, in the main, by
feeble old men who have not the power to
do effective work. That their sweeping is
not cleansing,but a mere top surface scraping.
The Board of Health must see, as every
one else does, that there is but little unifor
mity, system and regularity in street cleans
ing that contractors will allow month after
month, year after year, to pass in certain lo
calities, without the removal of a single load
of street dirt.
The remedy rests with the board: it is in
their bands, and they do not apply it. Let
the contracts be so made that the number of
times each street is to be cleansed be clearly
defined. Let the penalty be forfeiture of the
contract price. The contractor must be held
to an iron rule, else the duty of the board is
not performed, and the publio purse is plun
dered. Speaking of the Highway Department the
Directors say:
"It may be truly said that in tha Depart
ment of Highways there rests, under the laws
and ordinances, more power to correct abuses
in the matter of repairs and construction of
streets, etc., than anywhere else, and it is
but just to Kay of that department that valu
able aid has been given by the Chief Commis
sioner to the association. Still many com
plaints have been wucared for, and gross
violations of law and ordinances are of daily
occurrence, which it is incumbent on the
Board of Commissioners to remedy when
they have the funds for the purpose."
'Ihe report gives a table showing that there
were G24 complaints made against the pas
senger railway companies, of which 524 were
remedied.
The receipts of the association for the year
were $l!i!i7"J", and tbe expenditures
$41fi7J4.
The following shows the number of com
plaints remedied by the Commissioners of
Highways and others at the instance of the
association:

CALIFORNIA PESTS.
The Miiuirrel and (Soulier A War of Eter
uiinunou. The San Francisco Bulletin, of a late date
eald:
"Tbe orchards, vineyards, and wheat fields of
California Buffer severely from the depredations
of squirrels and gophers, aud the extermination
of the pests should bciu immediately. The
practical agriculturists have long comprehended
the situation, and used every means that inge
nuity could devise to checkmate the greedy
creatures, but without . avail. The squirrels
especially have multiplied rapidly. In portions
of Alameda and Contra Costa counties the
farmers are now compelled to hire men and
boys to guard their fields with shot guns against
the invasions of the rodents; and this, too, after
fioisoned wheat had been scattered about the
nfested regions. In one instance last sum
mer the squirrels harvested half a sixty-acre
field of small grain, despite all the precautions
tuken by the owner. Again, we have credible
Information of emigration enterprises inaugu
rated and carried out successfully in one Bight
by the squirrels. The industrious farmer devotes
months of patient labor to the thinning out of
the pests, and when be Hatters himself that they
are effectually subdued and he is master of his
own premises, recruits from the outside come

the combat in despair.'
