STREETS OF NEW YORK.
They Were Cleaned by the Piss Less
Than q Century Ago.

They Were Cleaned by me rigs less
Than g Century Ago.
So far as the municipal archives go.
the first system of street cleaning In
New York was authorized In 1896. In
that year the city entered into a con-
tract with one of its citizens whereby
be agreed to keep the streets free OF
rubbish and refuse for ESQ tabout $3.50
year. Prior TO that year each house
holder was obligated to keep the street
clean In front of his residence, and IL
be failed to do so a fine of SO many
shfllings was assessed against himaby
the city.
II the records are to be credited
there was no systematic effort to keep
the streets Of the city free OF refuse
from the early Dutch days down to
1926. All those years New York was
the butt of the sneers and ridicule of
Boston and Philadelphia. both of
which boasted of their clean streets
In that long period the city left the
disposal of its refuse almost wholly to
hogs, of which, an old municipal rec
ord says. there were no less than
10000 In 1920 They appear to have
roamed the streets as they pleased,
and it is small wonder the visitors
were wont to refer to New York as
fine large pigsty-
Even the sceurges of yellow fever
and smallpox that swept over the city
were not sufficient to move the author
tiles to rescue the people from the in
sanitation that caused them. and it
was not until 1923 that any action was
taken In that year the common coun-
ell. spurred by the indignant protests
of the leading citizens. decreed that
the army of roaming hogs should be
captured and reduced to pork and
carts assigned to remove the refuse
from the streets.
But even then there was such row
over the destruction OF the hogs that
it was several years before the letter
of the ordinance could be enforced

that ordinarily he did not appear as the

come a little bit raw
During the course of the discussion
there was much consideration Of the
right of the Post Office Department to
discriminate against newspapers paid for
by others than those to whom they may
be sent.
Senator Hepburn contended that the
department can exercise no such preroga-
tive, while Senator Page argued that If
the practice Is permitted serious abuses
of the second-class mail privileges may
occur.
Senator Bankhead thought the ruling of
the department would interfere with club
subscriptions. The Alabama senator also
suggested that the post office committee

Ultimately the resolution was adopted
with the understanding that when the
reply Of the department shall be received
