The DuSt-T hiriing F;end.
" of The EVENING STAE:

Please let one inquire through your valued
Journal whether the street sweeping NAV legally
be prosecuted each evening at shutdown or be-
fore? 1t has been the cherished belief of sew
eral that this contract specified distinctly the
hours between midnight and dawn when our
roughiares should receive attention. Are we
in error here2 And yet the managers of these
revolving pOrcupines might at least stay their
dusty courses until 10 o'clock each evening
CRYING Us chance to breathe in the evening air
after remaining within doors all day. As it is
closed windows and entrances must greet the
every approach of these dust dealing horrors.
