untried proposition to suggest that
will solve the street problem and at
an expense the city can pay and at a
very reasonable expense to the tax
payers.
I AT first, would have built say one
dozen dirt dump carts with solid
leather tires, each with tongues In
stead Of shafts.
I would purchase or hire a heavy
powered second hand automobile to
be used to try out the plan. | would
have the streets swept or scraped at
night, the dirt piled UP in piles along
the cutters and would have these
carts distributed at convenient dis
tances, then picked up and used as
trailers, and hauled TO the dump pile
and unloaded, and while going and
coming the empty carts could be fill
ed for a return trip. believe this
plan will successfully solve the street
cleaning problem at small expense.

Plan to Keep streets Clean.
To the Editor of The GATE City:
3 / have read the several complaints
and comments of our citizens and es-
pecially the complaints of oul Main
street merchants and might add the
scathing comments OF numerous .visi-
tors who come to our city to view
our great dam some of which were
incidentally looking for business or
factory sites others for homes OIL for
investments in our city and they all
have condemned the miserable condi-
ton and manner our principal paved
streets are kept, which as | under.
stand is no fault of our city authori.
ties, as there are no funds in The city
treasury that could be used for the
purpose.
The city at one time tried to solve
the street cleaning problem on a
cheaper plan and purchased two OF
three one horse carts with harness
for same and tried out the system
and kept the streets clean for per
iod of two years at less than one-hal1
the expense of the old obsolete sys
tenn of using two-horse dump wagons
which scattered the street sweepings
over the streets while being hauled
to the dumping grounds-while the
one-horse carts hauled the same
amount of street accum llations ir
their tight beds and made two loads
to one Of the twohorse wagons ant
at less than one.half of the cost
Finally teamsters union was
| formed who formerly had this worl
from the city especially just before
each election They complained i
was taking work away from the team
| STEERS, cutting down labor and result
ing in RELOCATING our cart system Il
the scrap pile.
i But now this complaint would b
raised again think as all teamster'
| that have a team fit to drive have al
