STREET CLEANING,
Pittsburg's Plan For the Disposal
Waste PaDer

Pittsburg's Plan For the Disposal of
Waste Paper.
There is a new head to the bureau of
highways and sewers i'll Pittsburg, and
the streets of the city are to be kept
cleaner than ever before as well as in
better repair, says the Municipal Jour
nal and Engineer. Director of Public
Works Bigelow has appointed Mr.. E. 6.
Nicewaner, 9. E., superintendent of the
department, and already the latter has
taken measures TO keep the streets
clean. One of the greatest sources OF
unudiness in the streets of any town or
city is the. waste paper that blows
about and makes the streets unsightly.
1t blows off the wagons that carry
the refuse of the dumps or is dropped
upon the street by the careless pedes-
trian who throws away his newspaper
or some advertising dodger that has
been handed him by boys or men dis
tributing the same.
To dispose of this waste Mr. Nicewa-
ner has adopted the plan of stationing
salamanders along the wharfs, in
which it will be burned. A salamander
is simply a large metal cage in which
cOmbuStible stuff can be burned In
stead Of carting the waste paper to the
dumps it Will be burned in the sala-
manders. Business houses can send
their waste paper to the salamanders
and have it destroyed.
The department has been using a
number of small, portable wire sala-
manders attached to the hokey carts
In regard to these Mr. Nicewaner
wrote, From the satisfaction they are
giving 1 am inclined to believe that
they will eventually solve the paper
nuisance" When the cage full of paper
is gathered by the hokey man he retires
to the nearest alley and ignites it. In a
few moments he gathers up the hand
full of ashes, dumps it in his can and
then resumes his beat
The highway department is encour-
aging househOlders to buy this sala-
mander, for" writes Mr.. Nicewaner,
800 per cent of the paper we now take
care Of is thrown into the highways
surreptitiously and in violation of the
law. 1t is our hope that after the
householder is educated into an obedi-
ence to the law through frequent prose
cutiOns for violations thereof we shall
see much waste destroyed by the ones
whose duty it is to destroy it and not
subject this bureau to a burden that
does not properly belong to it"
