THE STREET sPRrNKL1Na BUSINESS.
It 10 n Source OF Income 10 tho City and

IL 10 n Source or Income 10 tho City and
to Contractor on 40 Routes.
One OF the small sources OF revenue OF the
city OF New York is the street sprinkling routes.
Most people think that the streets are sprinkled
at the expense Of the city. and that this adds
materially to the cost Of running the DEPART
ment OF Public Works. They see the Same
carts and men on the routes day after day.
and they assume that the sprinkling carts are
owned by the city and that the men In charge
are city employees. Instead OF this the privi-
lege of sprinkine the streets is eagerly bid for
by a number Of contractors. 1t Is a source OF
profit to them and to the city. Instead OF the
city spending money to have 1t done 1t receives
from few hundred to several thousand dol
lars for each route The contracts for this
year we're let early in the spring and the con-
tractors are now at work under them. There are
forty-pne street sprinkling routes In the city.
Some OF them are very good ones and others
are poor The revenue comes from the people
who live along the route who want to have the
street in front Of their house sprlnkled. The
contractor buys the route from the city and
then makes what arrangements he can with
the people along the street. Tho people along
the street do not have to pay. but the sprinkler

wishes, but 1t is chearer to have the sprinkling
done by the contractor.
tween en- ' March I is and Nov. Is 1t is for, the
interest OF the srrnklers to 10 no more sprink-
ling than will satisfy the people wi tn whom
they make their agreements. 80 when, the
street is not dusty they do not sprinkle Rainy
weather helps them.
The Commissioner OF Public Works makes
the regulations about street sprinkling. There
are not many OF them. TIL. most imp3rtant
ones are to prevent waste OF water. The tin
sprinkler has to have Its holes in parallel
rows at least half an inch apart and OF size
no larger than No. II wire. The name and
residence Of the street sprinkler must be PAINT
ed on both sides Of his cask Boys are not al
lowed to run sprinkling carts. Nodouble-noZ-
zled hydrants may be used. Only enough
water may be put on tho streets to lay the
dust; the street sprinklers are not 70 be used
to wash the streets. There is another rule
that street srrinklers must keep on their own

and the extreme east and west side routes are
