Stout, who has been superintendent of the street cleaning gang, was delegated the duties and will work under the direction of the city engineer. "The street cleaning gang will be elimi nated as far as inmates of the Jail are concerned. Therefore it has been oua- tomary to work these fellows on the street, but hereafter it will be the rock pile that will profit from their labors." says Mr. Craig.
