Removed from the Pavements.
At last the cleaning of the downtown
streets has commenced. The board issued
orders yesterday that all streets bounded
by Ohio street, Capitol avenue, Maryland
and Delaware streets be cleaned at once
The pavements are in most Wretched
condition, for it has been two months
or more since some of them have been
swept The snow came on and was allowed
to lay, and it has been allowed to thaw,
leaving residue of dust, in some places
an inch thick. Although the middle of the
streets are dusty, near the curbs they are
filthy Near some of the most prominent
corners black. muddy water stands, which
is prevented from running off by an occa-
sional mass of ice. The pavement about the
courthouse is in a very bad condition But
the new broard promises clean streets, and
an effort is being made to find an inspector
who will see that the contractors respect
the cleaning specifications.
