Uttered STREETS.
Uttered streets are causing the police Of this
precinct good deal Of mental perturbation.
The question Of a cure has been agitating them
for some time past. They claim that merchants
have distressing way Of throwing their adj
vertising matter. cast off wrapping paper and
kindred refuse so that it falls into the street.
This is direct violation OF police regulations
The officers intend to use heroic measures il
necessary to rectify the evil. Some of the
principal thoroughfares are strewn with dodg-
ers hand bills and remnants OF paper boxes.
1t is said that certain merchants place their
empty boxes at the doors of their establish
ments and invite the small boys to help them
selves. The invitation is always accepted. The
urchins then destroy their prizes to the detri-
ment OF Georgetown's appearance and the an
>noyance Of the police.
