Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1899-05-03
Street Sprinkling.

Bellows Falls is not the only place where
there is difficulty over street sprinkling
Nun icipal street sprlnkling is being agi-
tate d all along the line and the citizens OF
Bellows Falls are about convinced that this
is the only satisfactory way that our streets
can be taken care Of during the hot, dusty
days Of the summer. The private subscrip-
ton plan never proves satisfactoryeithe to
the Individual who undertakes the job or to
his patrons. Here is what newspaper
correspondent says of the situation in
North Adams, Mass. CATER much delay,
the street sprinkling season has arrived,
and with it comes an agitation in favor Of
having this work done by the city. In this
city it has always been done in the old
fashioned way by private individual, who
gets his pay in the form OF subscriptions
from business men and others who are will
ing to pay for having the dust kept down
in front of their premises, but this 81 stem
has its drawbacks, one of the most aggra-
waiting being the refusal Of some to pay for
the service, preferring to get the benefit Of
their neighbours expenditures. If the man
in charge Of the sprinkling shuts off the
water in front OF the places of the nom
PAYERS, it Furnishes those who pay as well
as those who do not and is unsatisfactory
all around. Then, again, the man IN
charge is bothered in some instances to get
his pay even from those who do subscribe,
and there is more or less friction much Of
the time. Nelson Yon, who has had
charge Of this work the past few years,
hardly knew what to do this spring when
the dust began to fly. The merchants
raised cry Of distress and he finally
started his sprinklers, but the old troubles
met him at every turn and Saturday he
threw up the sponge in disgust and retired
from the business"
This is picture of what has happened
in Bellows Falls. The corporation must
do the sprinkling, perhaps not this year
for we have no appropriation, but the mat
ter is bound to adjust itself in the course Of
time. The question Of expense is the only
one about which the taxpayers of the vii
lage hesitate. Of course municipal sprink-
ling costs, but we believe it is the only sat
isfactory way. 1t is said that if the corpo-
ration does the sprinkling the cart will
have to visit every lane and by-way in the
village. Not at all let the citizens vote q
certain sum to be expended for street
sprinkling under the direction of the
bailifs let them decide what streets shall
be sprinkled and how often the same as
they decide what streets shall be visited by
the snow pillow in winter or be repaired or
improved during the summer. Even
small sum judiciously expended will give
better satisfaction than the present hap
