Buffalo, Jul 10. Although Buffalo Is ch a clean city. It doe not cost no ry much to keep It so. The expanse utrtet cleaning average about rear, bat there It no public money re cheerfully peaC, or whom spending more astUfactlon. Thl work la all Jer the management of Che bureau of ects, snotfceT of the aubordinate de-rtiaeat to the department of public rks.

This bureau baa, besides, ta at-ld to th eolelctton ami disposal of roage. taw public lighting, me uuui-Ing of houses and street Vlgns. The erintendeot of this bureau la Mr. J. lilllery, and from his and hu K-t' clerk.

Jir. Wllllaui II. Dolau, I -tiered such, information aa I could uot br actual observation, dty ta divided into fight sweeping districts, aud alt but the rstf, district, the business ceuter of tne are let out to contractors, by ms-icr, The fear of the city taklug hold this work ha resulted iu a leaiy ulnutlon of the price, until now the tractor who has the work gets 33 1-2 ats per great square for cleauing aioue crest square is 10.000 eguare feet, -rare -for cleaning aphau wtreot. tets and 24 1-U cent per great ess-' atreets are swept at least a week, rnd the scrapings are aered up and carted off by the conn-tor. He has to provide his own dump jund -for thein.

There is a schedule spared Ur the office of the bureau, by ich every street in each district -posed to be swept, and the contractor 10 follow this schedule minutely. So ch for the general street cleaning. the center of the city, com---lug the First cleaning district, ere are about thirteen miles streets, moat of them halted, which are cleaned by th bu-j'a employes. This la all done by 1 work, end every foot of. those eta are cleaned evry day of the r.

It requires about alxty men, and eral foramen to keep after tbem, but 7 manage to do their work pretty -oughly, and to sustain the reputation haa of having the cleanest atreeu ay eity in the country. Of course the center of a city Is that which reeaea Iteelf upon a visitor more.deep-ihaa any other part of the city, be-e he usually spend most of his time -e, walla In the city, and with a con-rable display of wisdom the Buffalou- have taken advantage of this and to particular expense and palna to that part of txtelr ctty beyond criti-v. Th men, with their wide shovels, up the cropping from the horses, 1 than along cornea a fellow with a ptacle strung between two wbeela, wtelca. ch trash is thrown. It Is 1 Wheeled to eouo point where a 7 gather It and conveys it to the ground.

The men get $1 SO per and work only eight tour per day, ins there ia a state law which says eight hours shall constitute a day'a ik for any nubile work. This 1a what called the block system of cleaning the -ete. and this coata the dty about 000. a year. -era Is another section of tha city ra it la deemed advisable to have atreats cleaned mora often than la loied for by tha city contractor, and le ta tha wealthy residence section, re the property bolder get together i eetltlon the bureau to let a contract cleaning their streets.

They pay for. work, out It Is dona under the aus- a of tha bureau of street, and regu-y Inspected by tha bureau Inspectors. .3 work soeta Hie resident from 6 to cents per running front foot. The -rage pries la 10 cents. There are rut twenty miles of street lu tha city ned by this system.

system of inspection maintained tha bureau of atreeta. coupled with prida o( the people, is what makes system so efficient. There la one oral inspector, who get a salary of 00 par year, and twelva others, who 105 per month. It la their duty to that tha street cleaning la done by contractor, on -schedule time, to see ha doaa It properly, and to aea tha.t removbs sll tha dirt from tha atreets. are always need In front of eweeplng ma Chinee, so aa to prevent acatering of doat.

i understand, however, as I mentioned ve, that tha desire of tha people, as 1 ss of tha city officials, seems to be take entire charge at this street clean- nA tK. p.nini 1 of ffsrbasre. stats law provides that at laboring i shall not be paid less than 1 50 per and. that tha day'a work shall be mora than eight hour, on all public t. Borne of the contractor have been ncj many of the men a good deal less 1 this and making tbem work longer rs, and this baa raised sentiment in alf of tha men.

If tha dty undertook work It woo Id have to live up to the but the plea Is made that tha profit the contractors, wmca woum om wiro, uli go to make up the difference in pay and time. Of course. Is view this growing sentiment the contractor ite cut down their prices materially. DISPOSING 07 GARBAGE. Tha disposition of the garbage of -fAt dty is always great problem, but iJalo see ma to nave solved It.

It 1 all ue by the contract system, but there i a strong probability that this will oon i supplanted by municipal ownership under municipal control. Tha con- mt for the collection la Just about to let, bat I understand that It Is being up on account of the sentiment iu vor of municipal ownership. Be that as may, a dause has been put in the con-act, fixing its expiration at the same ue and date as the expiration of the tract with tha company which dU- osea ox the paroaga Dy cremation. i nese re two separata contracts, iei to uuier -i neonle. Tha collection of garbage is carried on Jtist ss the street cleaning Is done by c.itrlcta.

There are elcht carbaxe dis tricts, and tha collections are made on schedule time in tnis aa wen aa in street cleaning. From May to November there are two collections a week, and in the winter time there la onlr one collection per week. The houaeholder la compelled by taw to separate hla garbage into two classes garbage and ashes. Be accumulates It In a covered receptacle In his yard, and on the appointed days the wagoae come around, the men go into the yards, get the boxes, empty them Into the' carta, and return them to their laces in the yard. There wss a good deal of kicking at the separation of the garbage, just aa there wa in New Or- -ana wnen it waa attempted; to zoster tne j-iart garbage contract on the city, bat eventually the DeoDle overcame their ore- Indices, realising the general benefit to le derived from the proper dlspoeition of their garbage, and now take very kindly to the system.

Ia the business district the houaeholder are allowed to put their garbage boxes cut on the sidewalk, provided they are roperly covered and secured from spill, their contents In the event of their overturned. The collections lu this strict are made In the night time, and ooxes are auowea on me street oniy night, There are about sixty wagons engaged tha service, twenty-five for garbage 1 thirty-flva for ashes. The garbage on are iroa tanks capable of hold-tbree or four toss. Until recently they iron co vera, but it was found that very cold weather these cover i not 'be operated- very readily, ao i i a piece of canvaa haa been aub. They are -compelled to keep thla a over the opening at all time.

on tractor are compelled to ue die's nt liberally at all time, but in time they are compelled to t-fn very frequently ss the wagons i aklcg their rounds. They are elo d. to-waah and clean -the wagons ---i garbage Is collected and taken to crematory, while the sshea, papers, are taken to dump provided oy the tor. The laat contro for the of garbee gTe ontractor a itirl tt us jos and rilE 11 74 ton for garbage. In iSM there were V71.013 yaru of ashes and ton or garbage removeo.

a will be seen that it coat the dty of Buffalo about simply for tha collection the city' garbage and trash. But the new bid, which Is in the hand of the departmeut and which may be accepted, is for the whole contract of col- lectina tns aaruase. tor a iuiub buib. about fouuo per month, amounting to a little more than half of what the pre vious contract called lor. Now, the disposition of the garbage is soother DroDoaitlon entirely.

That is done bv contract with a company, and the cltv oars the comDinj year to cremate the garbage. The plant Ia located on tha outskirts of the citv. The company manufactures merchantable Drooucta from the offal. It evi dently makes a food thing out of it. since It reduced the price asked of tne city one-half at the fast letting, taking the contract off the hands of the- success ful bidder.

The bureau has published a manual of ordinance and rule of the street department, aud It ia the observance of these lictle rules which contribute large ly to maintaining the high standard or cleanliness and order in tnis mouei city. 1 append the synopal of the rule: 1.

Geo. L. 'Conn ell Orchestra, MR. ALBERT BRETON, aa president of the society, and chairman of the executive committee on festival, delivered an address of welcome. Mr.

Breton thanked the representatlTe of the French government, tte vice con-soul. M. Thiebsud: the Hon. Jobn Fits-Datriek. the meets and tha public, for their presence.

Mr. Breton recalled the last fete, in 1898. when the proceeds of the fete were devoted in part to a fund for the relief of the wounded In tne American army. Since then the bond of friendship and of good will between France and the United States are firmer than ever. The French colonist here are fervent Americans, and whoever says the contrary state an untruth.

The French people have been charred with, not knowing bow to colonlce. what have we done in Canada. Where French is the official language What have we done in the West India Islands, wttere French is the Ian-guar moat widely spoken? The union between Franca and tbia country, the ootid of aympathy between the two great republics, is our solicitude. In the school maintained by the Soctete du Qua-torse Julllet, children ream the language of this country, aa weU aa that of the mother country. In conclusion, Mr.

Breton again thanked every one within the bearing of his voice, for contributing to the success of the fete, snd he bade them a cordial au revotr until next year. MR. J. THIEBAUD, I vice consul, and acting consul of France. recited aa follows: x-na n-rencn natioeai festival la yearly celebrated la New Orleane with much enrthneiasm.

JOHN FTTZ PATB3 CK, ex. mayor of the -city, and representing th American interests ana sympstny spake, reriewnrj the story of the fall oJ the bastille, and conclndlns aa follows: 'mere la much In tha historr of its fsll that reflects the Indomitable spirit' of liberty which animated the Ala or lean colonists, and which illumines tha brightest pages of American history. From the ruins snd battered debris arose the new spirit of a people, eager to mow tne new repmouc spon ue oroaa and anlrersal sbirit of freedom. France, from the moment of the fall of the bastine. waa destined to at greater future a future depending not ipon despotism and cruelty end oppreeetoi but upon the great and holy principles of eternal justice.

It Is the assertion of this great seatlmeat which prompts ihe great, God fearing heart of Francs' to speak out boldly and grandly against the injustice inflicted upon Captain Igeyfua, and demand the reversal of ths jafamous verdict rendered la th name of the army. 1789 and 1776 must statfl together. The trir-or ivAj wdtat raapJi the French against ooDttsetoa and tyran ny. The 4th of 1017.11776. the great principle of the right the people to self-government.

The fast was the uprising of the populace aSinaC naonarchiai forma of government; 1776 emphasised the great principle thai taxation witn-out representation woulttnot be tolerated in a government of the ople. It was not the dreairnl and gloomy structure Itself against taich ths French showed such a repagnaft spirit, but the living methods it stood ar. The detested walls of that fortress wi to the French people the incarnation bf a system of government that meaS) death to all honorable detraction to all ideas of civil liberty. The obnoxious proportions of ths English, that one's property should be taxed without bis consent, wis to tne nonest, simple colonist of fhf New England states equally descructte of the princl pies of civil liberty, to ttaln which they left the shores of the fatherland, as it waa despotic and unj The French oeotrle red their destes- tation of tyrannic menods by tearing down the walla of the tSjetlUe; the Americans by the destructiomof a cargo of tea rn Boston harbor. Tha repeal ot the tax on glaaa, printer's ink nd paper, while retaining the tax on tea did not diminish the seal of the Americai --for the imposition of a tax no matter low infinitesimal the amount without th consent of the taxpayer, was a denial the great principle for which they re contending.

Both events com met rate the birth and growth of republic! governmejrts. That la ths reason the people of New Orleans glory in celebration of this event an event akl to the one they celebrated foot a few da ago.
