M CRUIZES MAYOR I
eclaros Delay in Street Clean
WW ,nS "ocsion Hosts With
City's Executivo
SITUATION IS ANALYZED
Municipal atrret denning in plarod
'Kiuaroly up to the city iitlminNtratloti
In a bulletin ipiueil by the llurenu of
Municipal Research. TliN lntcst at
tack on the administration for its
failure to decide in favor of the mu
nicipal street rlrniiitiK, vlrtualh made
nandatory by the terms of the ity
charter, in beaded. "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."
