A Simple Little Street Cleaner is Go

Most Startling
Manner.
Whiz Goes the Combined Cleaner
and Dump Cart and to
the Dumps With the
Accumulation.
Brick.paved streets of Keokuk are

Brick-paved streets of Keokuk are
to be kept clean
There are many who will be unpre-
pared for the shock accompanying
this startling announcement and 9th
ers who say that the job of making a
spotless town out of the business por-
tons of the city will be an ephemeral
project
But it's fact for ten long hours a
day are to be devoted from now on
Excluding the Sabbath days Of the
Year, in keeping Main street, John
son street and the side thoroughfares
paved with brick and the ones that
show the dirt accumulations most, in
spotless town condition.
The machine with which this great
work is to be accomplished is $165
one-horse dump cart apparatus that
has proven itself to be boon to all
pedestrians along the main streets of
the city who have breathed nauseating
odors and dirt every time little
gust of wind has blown, and the air
has been contaminated with every
kind Of dirt under the sun and moon.
Commissioner Schmidt has decided
to purchase the new street sweeper
which has been undergoing a test, he
will employ driver at $175 day and
at no time hereafter will the bricked
thoroughfares present the uncouth
appearance that they have in the
past. When traffic along Main or
Johnson streets becomes so congested
during certain parts of the day and
people here begin to think they are
living in Chicago No 2. why the lit
tie sweeper will just skid over to some
side streets, say Sixth or Fifth, or
some other side issue from the main
ones and put in an hour or two clear
ing up these From Z a. m. to 6 p. m.
with an hour out for dinner, the driver
will gather up debris, fill the append
ed cans On the two wheeled apparatus
and keep up the good work. Of course
| there will be times when the snow
will interfere during the winter
months but it is safe to say that many
DAYS will not be lost on this account
and the street department will have
made another safe move toward the
