establishes a precedent that
VIII probably be followed I'm other
American cities. The official naming Of
these two social leaders for such a post
was as graceful as their acceptance Of
It's duties and responsibilities 1t was
the shrewd idea OF Alderman Julius
Goldzier that II some ladies prominent
in Chlcag0s most fashionable and In
fluential social circle would accept the
office OF street cleaning inspector a gem

the earnest wish that she accept IT..
Mrs. May, the other lady inspector is
the widow Of former city comptroller.
There will be active exertlon attached

ancient shoes and tomato cans that

ing is not done in a slouchy, political
job way.
There is no doubt that the ladies will
be honest there Is no doubt that they
will be particular
Chicago will be all the more favora-
bly, inclined TO this innovation for the
reason that the city has already had a
brave object lesson as to the capability
Of women not indeed in street inspec-
ton but In the much more difficult and
practical field Of actual street clean

Paul Is supervisor OF all the sweeping

Of the removal Of rubbish from them.
To young Mayor Harrison belongs the
credit OF giving Mrs, Paul her Office
which he did In 1897 At the end OF a
year and a half So business firms in her
district presented to her written testl-
mony Of their appreciation Of her sery-

that the streets Of their part OF the city
