CITY MILES BEHIND
Views of the Superintendent
of Street Cleaning.
MODERN METHODS NEEDED
Plea Made for Three Machines for
Removing Slippery Film.
EMPLOYED IN OTHER CITIES
District Government Without Au-
thority to Purchase or Use
Them-No Money Required.

According to the views of Supt Wood
OF the street cleaning department, Wash
inSton's streets are slippery because
Washington is miles behind the process
sion of other cities which have taken up
new methods of cleaning asphalt and
granite blocks. Mr.. Wood says he knows
WashinStons streets are slippery-that
horses fall down more than they should
but he says he is entirely without the
necessary means of cleaning the streets
so as to entirely free them from the slip
perry slime which causes the unpleasant
situation
The modern method of making a street
stand up or remain free from the Slip
perry tim which is disastrous to horses.
IS 10 wash 1t thoroughly. There are half
dozen makes of street washing ma
chimes and there are scores upon scores
or cities which are using these machines.
because there is no express authority in
the appropriation acts for the District ex-
penses for the purchase Mr.. Wood cannot
but one of these machines. and if he could
huA one there IS at present no authority
IN the law to operate it. The machine
Which Is now 'squeegeeing'' some Of the
streets Is being operated by contractor
VINO Is making experiments with a mod

He Wants Three Machines.

Mr. Wood wants three Of these ma
chimes, and judging from what went on
~ inc hearings before the Senate com
mittee On the District Of Columbia he
stands fair show Of getting them for
tEe next fiscal year. Commissioner West
made a plea for them, and said that all
the commissioners wanted was the an
thorlty 70 buy them and 10 use them.
NO additional money IS asked for as the
department ngures on getting them ont OF
Inc money already aTpiopI lated.
lhey say i'll the street cleaning part

also say that these machines, in one day

thoroughly that the ] d cannot he beaten
BY Dame Nature with anything less than
a three-day doWnpour Of rain.
And, says Mr.. Wood. I'VE don't have

have"
That does not mean thai Mr. Wood has
joined tie grand army of knockers upon
present-day conditions" composed OF men
who wish for the old-fashtoned winter
and the old-fashiorad doughnlt He saws
that the dry spell OF the asst eight mont ls
has made 1t very hard to keep streets
