LESSONS IN STREET CLEANING THAT NE

finding out the most favorable hour The city Of
Dresden adopted the practice Of cleaning the main
streets in the early morning hours, beginning
about a. r. and finishing the business sections
by a m. some 20 to 80 per cent Of the entire
street area. The cleaning of the remainder of the
streets proceeds Immediately after the main
streets are finished and the whole city is cleaned
by a. m. Only streets in outlying districts ere
cleaned later in the day, often in the afternoon,
but all streets must be cleaned once a day,
whether there is much dirt little them.
The practice Of Dresden has been followed by
practically all Of the principal German cities.
Some Of those of less Importance, owing to con-
ditons of light traffic, continue the old methods,
but the larger cities have been forced to adopt
the early morning plan.
1t is essential that the sidewalks and other ad-
joining spaces be cleaned before the crews pass
through the street, as otherwise the cleaning
would not be thorough Cities should therefore,
clean the sidewalks in business districts owing to
tho early visits Of the crews, while house owners
in the residential districts, which visited from
6 20 o'clock by the cleaners should be required to
have the streets in front Of their houses cleaned and
ash and refuse cans ready for removal by a sched-
uled time under penalty of fine No refuse
shoule be placed on the sidewalk, but must be
kept on the householders' premises in such places
as will not cause annoyance to the neighbors. AS
the street cleaning crews may be expected at
fixed time daily the householders are able TO make
their arrangements accordingly, and thus the
whole process is carried out in the most eXpedi-
tous and convenient manner.
In the removal Of snow New York City is chron-
icaly slow. having an abiding faith in favorable
change of weather. The ever-ready excuse is that
not enough men and wagons are obtainable, but in
reality the reason is more frequently executive
incompetency, politics and lack of system.
highly effective plan for the removal of snow
for many years In use in European cities Is that
Of dumping il into sewers. Precautions must be
taken not to dump or sweep into the sewers mat
ter such street detritus, thus cloggng them up,
the subsequent cleaning Of the might
prove more expensive than the removal of snow
by some other method Nor in removing snow by
sewer dumping, should the amount of snow
dumped in at any one time be sufficient 20
the sewer to become clogged up.
The swifter the flow of the sewer the better it
New-York tribune., 1914-11-22

This is especially convenient in connection with
the work Of refuse destruction plants.
After laying an expensive paving. city suthor-
ities in American cities seem to feel that their
whole duty has been performed. The street is
Immediately left to the mercy Of traffic and the
elements, and nothing more is done until some
serious repairs become necessary.
very different process is followed in Euro
pean cities which consists in protecting the
street and in facilitating traffic. that much
greater service is gotten out of street than
is the case in America.
The principal expedient adopted is 10 sprinkle
or cover the street lightly with various sub
stances whenever weather conditions other
reasons require il.
Sand IS much used for the purpose, and is
scattered over the streets in number of ways.
Sometimes a with trowel-like tool, carry
ing bag Of sand suspended from his neck, sows
the street with the sand after the manner Of
farmer sowing grain broadcast. Another method
of distributing the sand is by means Of small
boXlke carts and shovels, one man pushing the
cart and another sowing the sand. The cart is
often the one used for collecting refuse.
The sand sower gains considerable skill and
works with such rapidity that the cost Of the
work is Insignificant in comparison with the
benefits derived A skilful man can cover from
$4,000 to 100000 square feet an hour, or half
mile Of ordinary street The sprinkling of the
sidewalks may be left to the householders
The method with shovels and cart is not SO ex-
peditious, since the sand in such cases is spread
more thicky. There are also automatic sand
sowing machines of different types which are
more rapid.
Among other materials used are a coarse sand
or very fire gravel and fine stone particles. All
such materials should be dry and perfectly clean
and free from dirt or impurities which would
prevent free scattering subsequently cause
dust Ashes are used only in case of an emerg-
ency.
The material for street sowing is kept In
boxes, holding from to three cubic yards in
convenient locations, being thus at hand when
ever needed for use.

New-York tribune., 1914-11-22
By FRANK KOESTER.

vt HAS been realized for many years that the
street cleaning methods Of New York City
are far behind European street cleaning
processes, and it is equally apparent that If
the money il wisely spent in adopting such
methods as have proved success abroad good
results must be readily obtained here.
Being thoroughly acquainted with the best and
well tried methods Of European cities and having
made close study Of the needs Of New York
City, I shall outline In this article the methods
principally IN vogue abroad and what can be ex-
pected from our Street Cleaning Department. The
figures given show remarkable economy. and
European progress serves as an example for New
York City even better results should be obtained.
The cleaning of streets should be carried out in
q systematic and thorough manner. The cleaner:
should proceed in crews, with the necessary appa-
yatus TO clean the streets and the sidewalks as
well. If necessary. The layout Of the work should
be such that no member Of the crew needs TO
wait on the progress OF the other, but all pro-
ceed simultaneously, and when they have passed
through the street the work will be done. The
method of piecemeal street cleaning. with the
householder sweeping the dirt into the street the
street cleaner sweeping II into piles and the piles
being removed by wagons, with the occasional
passing first on one side Of the street and then
on the other Of some piece Of street cleaning ap-
paratus. results in continual stirring up Of
dust TO the great discomfort and inconvenience
Of all concerned, while the street never really
gets cleaned.
The number of men in the cleaning crew de-
pends on the kind Of machinery used. As no
machine is capable Of reaching all parts Of the
street q certain amount Of manual sweeping is
necessary, especially when the sidewalks
cleaned by the municipality. Such manual sweep
ing should be carried on in conjunction with the
machine sweeping, so that as indicated, the whole
width Of the street will be cleaned at once.
In order that such cleaning may proceed with
efficiency and dispatch. and consequently with
economy, the streets must be practically clear Of
traffic as the presence Of vehicles, especially those
standing at the curb, greatly delays the work OF
the crew.
Az the operation Of such crew also handicaps
+rac and as the public prefers to see the streets
cIcAn rather than 20 them being cleaned = Is
essential 10 select suitable hour for cleaning
German cities have conducted numerous tests l'r
New-York tribune., 1914-11-22

Commenting on these figures, the department
points out that an electric machine cleans in an
hour 6937 square yards of street surface. or. in
day of eight hours, 55,496 square yards. at
cost, as shown, of 81 IL. while a horse-drawn
machine cleans In the time only 44,0l3
square yards at a cost of 81 81
When streets and sidewalks are cleaned by
hand sweeping there should be provided recepts-
ces Of appropriate design and of suitable capac
fly for the reception of the street sweepings
awaiting removal A useful form OF such recepta-
Gle would be one which could be removed without
being emptied, another being left in its place
for the next days sweepings. The methods
are equally applicable to smaller garbage cans
and household refuse, as have been described.
Other receptacles for street refuse may be sunk
in pits, as also noted They are made Of steel
with dumping bottom. and the removal cart
is provided with for lifting them out of
the pit TO the top Of the cart, which is covered
with a top having special openings. so that the
contents Of the cans may be dumped into the
cart without being scattered by the wind. After
being so dumped the cans are lowered again into
place in their pits.
In order to avoid handling, such can pits are
located in the sidewalk near the curb, and the
street refuse is swept directly into them, small

course, provided with
As stated, the removal Of street sweepngs,
garbage and refuse should be done in wagons
invariably having dust-proof covers. in order to
protect the passing public and the workmen from
escaping PARTICLES. Another plan is to have it
removed in the original cans, leaving empty cans
in place this is an absolute protection to all
concerned and gets the wagons of the streets
sooner.
II wagons are used into which the rubbish is
dumped. they should be of the end-dumping type,
and in some cases il is preferable that the body
be detachable that it may be lifted of by
hosting cranes and dumped at any desired place.

ment--the latest persons to occupy the chairs Of
responsibility-were at hand to take their medi
cine 1t was declared that with few exceptions
the city's streets had been neglected. The chief
causes, Il wss asserted were the antiquated meth
eds Of cleaning, the imperfect state of the sur
faces. excavation work fer buildings and public
indifference.
Il was proposed that the Board Of Estimate be
asked to provide the funds to equip the depart
ment with horse drawn or motor sweepers and
squeegees, such as are used in London, Berlin,
Paris Washington, St. Louis and many other
cities. The suggestion made that all streets
be sprinkled before sweeping that machines be
used and that the present ANTICIPATED methods Of
dsposing Of ashes and garbage be replaced by the
erection Of modern incinerators.
