STREETS OF NEW YORK.
They Were Cleaned by the Pigs Less
Than Century Aqo.

So far as the municipal archives 20.
the first system of street cleaning in
New York was aut horized III 1906. In
that year the city entered into :, con
tract with one of its citizens whereby
he agreed to keep the streets free Of
rubbish and refuse for ESQ (about $15O,
Il year. Prior to that year each house
holder was obligated to keep the street
CLEAN III front of his residence. and if
be failed to do 80 Il fine Of SO many
shillings was assessed against him by
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
1928 All those years New York was
the butt of the sneers and ri,licule of
Boston and Philadelphia both of
which boasted of their clean streets
LII 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.

Single File.

Wien the Indians Travelled together
the. seldom walked or rode two or
mort abreast. but followed one another
in single file 1t has been thought by
some that this practice resulted from
the lack Of roads. which compelled
them to make their way through woods
and around rocks by narrow paths. II
this We're the real reason for the prac-
tie. then we should expect to find that
the tribes who lived in open countries
travelled in company. as do whites
The true reason for journeying as the
Indians did in single file seems to be
feeling of caste. This feeling was

room is covered with dry sand.
