Sidewalk Sweepers.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Sweeping of sidewalks in the down.
town district should not be permitted
after s o'clock in the morning. as the
clouds of germ-laden dust are decidedly
dangerous to the health of pedestrians.
1t seems to be the rule before many
buildings to have swepeers at work
around 9 O'Clock. Just when the streets
are filled with pedestrians. Some have
their walks swept even later in the
forenoon. If there is not some reGula-
ton against the evil there should be.
