Automobiles and Dust.

Apropos Of automobiles, 1t Is Of inter-
the expected benefit from motor buses.
It was thought and stated that as horses
were tho chief cause Of tho dirt in the
street. the use OF mechanical means for
source OF dust and dirt AS e. matter OF
fact. however, the motor buses have
raised such q stream of dust on the
streets which they frequent that the
houses are being deserted and tho ten
ants are moving out as fast as possible.
Tho flying particles of dust thrown up
by the rubber tired wheels have so filled
the air that well recognized sort of
alent In London. This attacks not only
those who ride but those who follow be-
hind In other vehicles. and Is especially
common among the unfortunate mon who
operate these machines. On tho other
hand, the experience In England has been
that the automobile trade has grown to
such extent as to seriously reduce the
revenues that used to DO derived by the
railroads from suburban traffic. But
what chiefly concerns Richmond is how
to reduce the dust In the streets, since
neither horses nor automobiles make dust
any less, 1t is apparent to lis that the
only successful expedient Will be to keep
the streets clean-a hope which Is moro
natural than likely.
