A MODEL STREET SwEEPER.-United States
Consul L. j. Hale, at Manchester, England, in
a report to the Secretary Of State, describes a
newly invented street sweeper which is about
to be put in operation by the authorities of that
city, and which, Mr.. Hale thinko, will create a
revolution in one of the chief departments of
the pavement, but gathers up the sweepings
and removes them. With the new machine
two men and two horses will be able to do the
work which now devolves upon seven or
eight men and two horses The busiest
thoroughfares of a great city may be cleaned at
almost any time of day, as the whole machine
is complete in itself, and interferes no more
with traffic than the passing of any other large
vehicle. Mr.. Hale says the streets of Manches-
ter are OF the cleanest in the world. The cost
OF this work during the year ending March 81 .
1888, was $91,57 and 37O,191, 700 yards OF
pavement were swept; The whole work is in
the charge of the health department of the cor
poration, and no part of it is done by contract.
