STREET SCHEDULES
A New Plan Of Sweeping Approved
by the Commissioners.
REGULAR time FOR EACH ROUTE
Citizens Will Be Enabled to Dis
cover Any Neglect.
LISTS FOR EACH WEEK DAY

LlS1S EOR EACd w EEA LA
MIR. w. Stutler, the superintendent of
street and avenue cleaning, today sub
mitted to the District Commissioners, and
the latter approved schedules under which
the streets and avenues swept by machines
are to be hereafter cleaned. They are six
in number. numbered from 1 to 6, and
will be followed consecutively on each
working day in numerical order.
Should rain other unavoidable cause
interrupt the sweeping of a route it Will
be omitted until it can again be taken up
in turn.
BY consulting these schedules any citizen
may note the day or days upon which any
given block should be swept, and may also
know whether or not it is at any time
neglected. The schedules are intended 10
be maintained during the life of the pres
ent appropriation, barring accidents of the
weather. and there need, therefore, be no
confusion of dates.
Mr.. Stutler comedies that many streets
on each of the lists should be swept often
er than is provided but the money avail
able will not permit OF it. so he has made
the very best arrangement possible under
the circumstances.
He reports that the reason for adopting
this new plan is to secure a system where
by the property owners and residents of
each section of the city will know exact
ly when to expect the sweepers, and if for
any reason any thoroughfare in any sched-
ule should be omitted the cause may be
ascertalred at once, and due explanation
made, the purpose being to give the best
service possible under the limited appro
priatlon.
