A Nuisance That Ought to BE Abated.
IT. ~ L.{,fo. NJ fbo D,cnpgrt


1t is an almost universal practice for ne
groes to sweep the sidewalk on Main street
and other leading thoroughfares without
first sprinkling them about the hours that
our citizens are vending their way to their
places of business. In dry. hot weather it
is extremely disagreeable to be covered
with dust, when it might be avoided with
so little circumspection and trouble.
The clean wearing apparel one dons in
the morning and the cleansing. cooling
additions which are indispensable to
make one feel comfortable and look re-
spectacle, are all swept away in moment
by this barbarous and unnecessary prac-
tice.
If there is no sprinkler to be had conve-
niently. bucket of water and broom
will suffice for sprinklng. Some negroes
seem to take a peculiar delight in creating
as much dust as possible, and vet they
know full well how annoying it Is to clearly
people.
If there IL no city ordinance making it
obligatory, under a suitable penalty, for a
failure to sprinkle sidewalks in dry wea-
Their before sweeping them, then one can
not too soon be enacted. In any event,
persons who occupy stores, offices, &C., on
our principal thoroughfares ought IN JUS
tice to themselves and their fellow-citizens
to require their employees to use sprinkler
on the premises aforesaid
Mr.. Editor, please give US the aid of your
influential journal to abate this yexatious
nuisance. SEVERAL CIIIzEys.
