COST OF BROOMs.
There was a meeting last night of the
subcommittee appointed by the Council
Committee on Health 10 investigate the
cost Of brooms used in the street
sweepers. Samples Of bamboo and rat
tan broonls were submitted by concerns
in New York and in Richmond An in
qu:ry showed that the price asked for
brooms by out-oftow:l parties. with freight
and drayage charges added, was greater
than the local mans price.
The committee decided 10 recommend 10
the full committee that the work of max
ing and furnishing broons be continued by
the local manufacturer, as nothing can be
saved by having the work done elsewhere.
The brooms now used cost $50 each new,
and old ones refilied cost SD.
The purpose of the committees inves-
tiSation was to ascertain if the brooms
could not be purchased for less money. as
each sweeper averages about three broons
month, and the annual expense for
brooms is large.
