Editors Having salt water used for streetsprnk
gps and knowing that cart will efectualy lay
the dust than ten using CrotOn water would suggest
the trial of the same article here matter Of comfort
as well as economy. You will find the salt packs the
du,t so eectuay that wind will raise It After
thoroughly sailing occasional visit with the sprinkler
Ia all that Is necessary Salt well sown spinkled
about the would be much cheaper than the pres
emf method few barrels just now In the Park would
fix the sand at once which the workmen have raked
and sprnbled for the last three weeks, and yet wont
stay still Any person VINO visits Syracuse VIII oo'eTve
water not being Sa the Syracuse water OF course
more would be necessary but salt In bulk would be
less xpeDsive than the present pacice aud perhaps
cheaper than sea water. Think OF it Try It, ~
ty- The above SUGGESTIONS worth practical trial
The idea, however is not new. Cambridgeport, Bos-
on and we believe other Eastern Cities thus sprnk
DIRTY STREETS. Can you tell US,
wessrs Editors whether nothing more eectua can be
done oward cleansing the streets Of this Cyl WHY'S
II that Our sister City of Philadelphia furnishes model
of cleanliness while NewYork In like proportion, pre-.
SCENTS miracle of dust and Dirt Have the City au'
thores no power demand from every proprietor of
dwelling, or shop, small tribute to personal and
h. IN hoo the
opposite bis own premises daily swept and wsshedi
Such an ordinance would multiply the of scrubbing-
brushes thousand fold and do more than almost any
thing that could be named b convert this Cny into
Paradise Let the Street Inspectors look well TO their
important outies Let the walks uihiR and around
public squares be thoroughly washed Let the uusigay
piles Of dirt which sOmsmes gr-etthe eye In our streets
be removed Let the clouds OF dust necessarily arising
from mutitud,s OF oDniouses and from the improve
ments upon our public thoroughfares be efectualy
id by torrents Of good old Croton water; and then,
Messrs Editors may we gain for New. York the proud
prominence in the depsr ment Of cleanliness, which
we are disposed to claim for her in all other things
