The first trial of the Austin street

The first trial of the Austin street
sweeper was made on the pavement
last Wednesday afternoon. A portion
of the pavement had become so i'm
pregnated with mud that it was neces-
sary for the sweeper to go over it twice,
but the work was nevertheless salts
factorily performed. Saturday morn
ing the sweeper was again put to work
and the pavement now has the appear
auce of bright new dollar, especially
after the drenching it received by the
rains of Saturday and Sunday. The
sweeper throws the dirt towards the
curbing on either side and it is then
shoveled together and carried away.
We understand the sweeper will be
used two or three times everysweek.
