SWEPTIT THEMSELVES
Merchants on F Street Take Things in Their
Own Hands.
Squares Not Cleaned Since Before the
Big StOrm-Much Indigna-
tton Expressed.

An unusual sight met the eyes OF pc
destrians on street this morning when
the thoroughfare. on the north side, be-
tween 18th and 18th streets, vas carefully
and thoroughly swept and cleaned by pri-
vate parties. Inquiry brought TO light the
fact that the street had not been swept
since two days before the severe storm Of
last week, in spite Of complaints made to
the District Commissioners. Finally. be-
coming indignant at the condition OF things,
the business men and property owners
from 18th to 18th streets, without excep-
ton, determined to take matters into their
own hands and sweep the street. The nee
essary money was subscribed without de-
lay and the thoroughfare now looks spic
and span.
Il think it is a shame" said Mr.. Kimon
Nicolaides, one of the business men of the
block, in conversation with a Star repor-
ter, that matters should be permitted 10
reach such state in city of the size
OF Washington. will admit that the street
sweeping department had some excuse for
not looking after those streets that were
blockaded with trees and branches as a
result OF the storm. 1 suppose it was the
duty OF the parking commission to look
after the trees. but on F street there was
Lot a tree down, and absolutely no OBJ
struction to interfere with the street sweep
ers. A personal appeal was made 10 the
commissioners to rectify the evil. but no
good resulted therefrom. 1 visited every
business man and every person residing
along street between 18th and 18th
Streets and they agreed with me that we
must adopt active measures. Therefore we
employed men to do the work, and the
fact that it was necessary for us to do So
! think, Is serious reflection on the au.
thorities. However, 1t Is our intention 10
see that our section of the shoroushfare
Is kept clean, even if we must bear the
cost of the sweeping"

there is no danger in the failures. It
