NOT NUMEROUS WESTWARDS But Thoro aro Some Oasoa in That Beotlon of tho Town That Should Booetvo Im mediate Attontlon, "WO representatives c th-i Hkrald started out yesterday after noon to boo or Ret an idea of what the con dition of tho public thoroughfares of town aro and form tome idea of tho trouble that would be required for Inn public au thorities to put public proporty in a condi tion ao meet the requirements of the cholera sanitary regulations. To tho credit of the, borough bo it said that the most part of tho town lying west of Main Etreet, the section taken in by the nowspaper men yesterday, is in a remark ably good condition. There are somo parts that are in a bad state and others aro in a very bad condition, but these placos are comparatively few in number. When you loave Alain street, walk west and crofs Fear alloy you soo, upon looking northward that tho gutter on tbe cast side of the alley is filled with a stream that is far from being pleasant o the tyo. But with a cleaning out occasionally that section of tho alley will bo7 above reproach, Jardin street, north of Coal, is a little better than Pear alley. Neglect in keeping the gutter clean on the east tide of tho street is also the fault hero. The same may bo said of tho same part of West street. All along Coal street, on the north side, tbe guttershows want of cleaning. On the south side of tho same stroet tho only source of complaint soems to hingo upon an Unor anco of grade, whereby tho street is about three feot above the top of the curb stone. This part of Coal street should receive tho attontlen of tho survey and street com mittee, else there will be some trouble thoro. Going to the ond of Coal streot and cross ing over the drainage grounds to tho west end of Centre street, at tbe corner of Cath erine, tho newspaper men found a culvert at the rear of the bouse immediately west of tho Greek Calholio church that slowly, and very slowly, omitted a stream of thick, black stuff, the smell from which was sick ening. This oasy going rivulet flowed over the Gilbert estate lots and unoponed Catherine streot towards tho gultor on the north sido of Contre street and then took that gultor for iis course. This was ono of tho worse evils found during tho trip. Nothing olso was found until tbe news paper men got to Cathorine street and Huckleberry alloy. Thoro they found a nice miniaturo lake of -tho vilest disease breeding stuff imaginable. In the contre of it was a boer keg which will ne doubt be gathered up somo day and refilled for use In town. Tbe borders of the lake were garnlsbod with old wash boilon, tomato cans, powder kogs and othor reputed gastronomic favorites of the historical goat. The residents of the vicinity call tho lake "Killarney." Itisoasily Identified by'ils green surface Catborino etreet, from Oak to Poplar, is comparatively clean and good, yet tho supervisor could find a wagon or two of rubbish scattered along the streot und a man could find sovcral dys work there putting in curbs. Gilbert streot, from Cherry south to Poplar, so far as guttering is concerned is in a bad condition. Tho gutters have a razzle-dazzle appearance and aro filled with slimy Bluff of all kinds. On tbe square between Mayberry alloy and Poplar street there is a veritable hog's delight. West streot from Poplar to Laurol is sorely in neod of curbing. It would seem that Council should Insist upon tho borough ordinances being complied with on this square before expending several hundred dollars in oponing the square below. On tho latter iquaro a filthy stream fl iwsout of an alloy at No. 303, Hows past 805 and 7 and then cuts diagonally across the street to the last houso on the north sido. At tho foot of Laurel street, just west of the railroad, there is a swamp of most dis gusting stuff. The stench that arises from it is almost unbearable. There is really no othor publio place to complain of save Pear alloy. This thor oughfare, from Laurel stroot to Lino, with very few oxcoptions, is in a bd condition, Thoro is but little curbing and where natural gutters are found tboy are filthy. It took tho nowspaper men but an hour to locate all the places specified and it is eafe to say that if tbe Gnlef Brrgess, Sani tary Committee, the Supervisor and a few workmen would gat down to work for two or three days all these publio nuisance on tho west side could bo averted, and at a very tllght.cott.

Parents Should See Tliut School Children Are Guarded. CARLATINA and diphtheria are claim ing many victims and this town has its share of the cases. The physicians of town have been having them in charge for several days past, but the people have only become seriously concerned over them during the past forty-eight hours, There aro fears now that unless tho greatest precaution is oxTcbod tbe diseases will become epidemic In view of this condition of affairs it is highly important that people who have children attending the public schools should seo that their children render them iclves in no way liable to contract tbe dis ease and introduce them into tho schools. This is in accordance with tho n quest made by Superinlendcnt Frpeman. The diseases specified are contagious and too much caro to prevent them spreading can not be exercisod. E. Anstock, of town, recoived word last night that the four-year-old son of his brother, L. O- Austock, of Frackville, died from the same diseases. Tho five-year-old son of E. O. Brobst has beon suffering from diphtheria and scarlatina for several days past and has been quite low at times, but to-day Mr. Iirobst told a Herald reporter that the child was much improved and teemed to bo on a gjod road to recovery. Councilman Gable's three children are still low with the combined diseases. It is understood that thore are a number of other esses of sickness in town, but the physicians aro not disposed to mako known the true nature of tho disease. A FLAG RAISING.

An Item of Interest to Special Klectlou Pull Men.

THE VARIANGE IN FIGURES A Word or Two to tho Committee on Awarding Contracts Let There bo no Tayloriam. About tho Works. HE joint committee on water works last night received bids from tht contractors who pro pose building works, but maJe no an nouncement as to when any of the bids would be deci d e d upon. Now that tho committee has decided to go ahead the Herald takes this opportunity to carefully mark every step of its course before advancing. In these days of inflated contracts no In dividual, or body ol men, not evon our all wise joint committee, can be too careful. Let every member of tbo joint commit tee keep in view tho outrageous im position upon the taxpayers that is now bo ing vontilated at Pottsville. If tho water works are to be constru .ted lot tbore bo no Taylor business about them Whon Contractor Taylor first bid on the now county courthouso his flguros were ?179 000 Beforo the structuro was com lilelon Mr. Taylor's figures ran up to $200, 000, the diflerene'e being cloaked by that greatest of imposition upon taxpayers called "extras." Let tbe joint committee bear this ease in mind at all times and, for their own safety as well as tho interests of the taxpayers, do nothing that will lead to such a disgrace ful exposure. Tbe Hekald stales now, s.3 It has re poatcdly stated, that as a matter of fact tho members ure as far away in their estimates of the cost of constructing public water works as Mr. Cochran seems to bo to them from his standpoint. Tfap joint committoo laughed when they heard that Mr. A. B. Cochran said that the wuter works could not be constructed for less than f 150, 000. But tho comraitteo itsolf has been figuring on 982,000 as tho cost price, whilo it is said the responsible bids vary in figures frum S96.000 to 107 000. By all moans lot tho joint committee, if it awards a contract, or contrants, make tho award to responsible men who will ho within easy'reach of tbe people of Sher anaoan in ca?o tne terms ot contract, or contracts, aro not compliod with. If re sponsible contractors can be found in or near Schuylkill county we would advise that tboy bo given the preferonco to people in Washington, Baltimore, New York, Chicago, or any other distant point, even though tbo price may ba a low hundred dollars moro. Tho d.ff.'renco may be saved in eipenso to bring defaulting con tractors to time in the end. In awarding contracts to town or county people, if there be any such bidders, the i Mnt committoo will tben promote and put in practice what it so frequently preaches home industry. And ihould it award contracts lot tbe joint committee see that there is no loop hole by which the contractor may resort to any Tiylorisms. Let it insUt upon an itemized contract so that if there is any increased expense the committee and poople will know just what the increase Is for; and if thore is any decrease on tbe contract figure tbe commitloe and people will know what rebate they are entitled to. Another suggestion we would make is that if it Is at all feasible the joint committee award the contract to one man o- firm. To give tbo cont-act in piece-meal may lead to innumerable com-, plications. Vot instance tbo man who might receive tbo contract for digging trenches might, through some unforeeen circumstances, not be able to push his work ahead rapidly enough to meet -tbo to quiremeuts of tho contractor 'lay ing tbo pipes. In such a case there would be repeated ars and innumer able oom plaints to tho oommitteo and Coun cil, and consequently many delayB in the work. Moreover the borough will bo much moro securo In baying t.good bond for tho whole work from ono man or firm. Attention, P. O. S, or A. Members of Camp 200, P. O.
