The baths are in the center of the
cities where they are accessible to the

patronized by hundreds and even by

The public lavatories are also located
conveniently in the crowded parts OF the
cities. These excel in London and Ber-
lin. They are built beneath the side
walks. and, while some are free, the
most of them cost the patron from to
cents.
Colonel Biddle said they were luxur
iously built. They were clean and free
from disagreeable conditions of any
sort. They are patronized by all classes,
and their management is such that they
are free from disorder and accessible at
all times
Colonel Biddle took down some data,
which Will be presented to the Board of
Commissioners later in writing to serve
for reference In the future. The Com
missioner thought that some OF the
methods he studied abroad might be
employed here with good results.

in vogue with those used in Washing

especially in the matter OF street clean

were kept very clean, but not so much
cleaner than In Washington. where only
about half as much money is expended.
Lighting Science.
Street lighting in Berlin he found to
be reduced to an exact science, and here,
too. the chief difference was IN the large
sums of money spent. thus giving bet
ter results.
Colonel BIddle spent enc day In Dres-

sioner expressed the opinion that with

well in Washington.
Colonel Biddle compared the tree

and 5000 in Washington. He said more
money was spent on the trees in that city

Paris was growing slowly. and that there

expended in keeping the trees and gar

extending them. The trees were trim

they do not present much better ap-

Colonel Biddle said our Mall does not

parks in Paris. but he thought the beau

Paris would not have 50 much to boast
OF.
One of the things which Colonel Bid

The Commissioner said that the pave
ment is nowhere cut up by street car
tracks, as in the cities OF this coun-
Try. The electric wires, service water
pipes. and small sewers are located un-
der the sidewalks. In this way, he said,
they could be repaired without tearing
up the street paving, and he thought
this has a good deal to do with the
durability and excellent condition of the
street covering. In all London. he said.
there was no street where the pave

Ore thing which particularly i'm
