THINKS REFORM Is NEEDED.
Gen. III. v. Boynton on Scanty Street
Sprinkling and Fast Driving.

ITS an outrage that would not be tolerated
IN any other city in the country" said Gen. II.
'. Boynton this morning. He was talking OF
the manner in which the streets were being
swept.
Last night and this morning" continued
the general, two of the great thoroughfares
were clOuded with the filthy dust raised by the
sweeping machines. Dust and sweeping are
Inseparably connected, of course. but there
would be less of the Objectionable matter in
our eyes and nostrils and lungs If the streets
were properly sprinkled. presume one water
ing cart will cover greater area with one load
OF water under the present system than il
would if sufficient moisture was turned
loose on the streets. but the con-
tractor is not the only person TO
be considered in tins matter; other people have
rights that ought 10 be and will have 10 be re-
speeted. have watched this street sprinkling
ana sweeping business for several years, and it
Is less satisfactory now than ever before in the
history of the capital"
And while / am engaged in criticizing,"
went on the general Il may as well saw word
or two about fast driving There is more of it
done here than IN all the other big cities OF the
Union put together. Why, butcher carts and
grocery wagons tear along the smooth streets
and avenues as though they were fire engines
going TO great conhagration. Private equip
ages and public hacks very numerously JOIN in
the race and the result Is seen IA the constantly
growing list of deaths of those who have been
knocked down or run over through the crimi-
nal carelessness of drivers.
Both the scanty sprinkling and fast driving
could be stopped at once IL the District Com
missioners and the chief of police would take
an interest in such matters. They are appar-
entity small affairs. but they affect the public
bealth and the lives Of great many pedestrians
III Is not difficult matter to give this city n
model execution of government The people
are law abiding and ask but little. wish we
had officials who would attend to these sup
posedly trivial affairs"
