read with no little curiosity in yester-

count of his "early morning inspection
tour with the superintendent Of the con-
tractor for cleaning our streets Would
1t rot have been better If the reporter had
made tour by himself without the

which many OF our citizens who have had

stoops can testify, the sweeping process
more frequently commences not later than
