The opinion of the attorney general

city councilmen are chosen by the pro-

LENDING A HELPING HAND
Teamster Gave Handcsrt 2ushor a
Lift" That Was Something to
De Appreciated.

Here Is an interesting street scene,
drawn by writer:
The handcart was of a familiar sort
"a pair of high wheels with a long
platform of Stats resting on the axle
and a crossbar at one end for han
die. A man stands behind the cross
bar and breasts it to propel the We
hicle.
The handcart was piled high with
big bags filled with waste paper-a
cumbersome, heavy load that would
have been hard to handle anywhere.
and was doubly troublesome going up
the slope from Nassau street to Broad
way. The handcart man had to bend
over the bar and push with all his
might to keep the load moving at all.
Coming up behind him was driver
with an empty truck, drawn by pair
of big horses. When the driver saw
what was ahead, he started up his
team little and skillfuly set the end
of the pole square in the middle OF
the rearmost bag on the handcart,
where he could push to the greatest
purpose without disturbing the load.
Thus the horses began to push the
handcart up the hill.
ALL the handcart man had to do was
to stand up, hold on to the handlebar
and keep the handcart straight. The
big horses. guided by the friendly
driver, were doing the pushing; and
SO, easily enough. the man got his load
up the rest of the slope and round To
