"Where Thfrrc Is a "Will, There's n Way." In the booklet the bnrrnu declare that if the present administration de aired to make a real effort to clean the street without the lneiibun of the con tractor syotem the means nnd epilp ment could be cnnlly procured. Director C'nven, nuked to replv to the attack on the Indecision that both he and the Mayor are said to linve tdinwn In the street-clennlnR question, simply replied: "Well, the streets of the city tvlll be well cleaned next year, whether by the city or bv contractors. You 'can be assured of that." The pamphlet presents the issue clearly In the followiiiR statement: ''The administration is faced with the necessity either of speedily preparltiK for municipal street cleaning in 1IVJ1 In accordance with the mnndntnr) pro visions of the charter, or of justlfjinR the continuance of contract work to the people." In the beginninc of the booklet the attitude of the people in assuming that the pusuuRe of the city charter relegated the contract sstem to the scrap heap, is set forth The require ments of the cltj charter providing for the municipal street cleaning in 10-1 are then set forth. The report then cites the report of the commission of engineers who visited fifteen cities to observe conditions thut obtain under municipal street cleaninR. rhlladel phla Is the onh large city that dots not clean Its streets, but lets the work to contractors, the report states. Then th report of the engineers in unani mously recommending the street clean ing and garbage collection b the ity in 1021 is cited. Under another heading of "The Ks scntials of Muiilcipul Operation," th,e pamphlet continues: "The engineers' report sets forth in Bo uncertain terms the disadvantages of contracting for street cleaning on tho present basis, although after the charter revision work. un further demonstra tion of this fact seems to be us un necessary as the piling up of arguments that the world Is round. "In fact, the decision for municipal street cleaning was virtually made when the charter was adopted and now tho problem has been resolved into a deter mination of whether it is practicable to initiate municipal work in 10111 as Is att forth in the charter."
