A KICK FROM
LOWER NUUANU

A vigorous kick is being made by
residents of Nuuanu avenue, makai Of
Beretania, against the methods Of
street sweeping in vogue there.
"There is a law against sweeping
from the sidewalks on to the streets" T"
said one of the residents in question,
"but the authorities are sweeping the
streets on to the sidewalk. AS the
sweeping machine goes along it raises
a cloud Of dust forty feet high, and
after it has passed there is dust an
eighth Of an inch thick on the side
walks. They say that dust spreads
consumption, and it is an outrage for
the authorities to allow such work,
IF the streets were oiled, or even
if they were sprinkled before being
swept, conditions would not be so
bad"
