There is a trail of dust raised by
each team and car, the air in the cars
being almost unbreathable. If all the
streets were kept in as good condition
as the loop streets the saving in
money, from death and sickness
cause dby dust, would be enormous
more than repaying the cost Of keep
ing all the streets clean.
It is the duty of the officials of Chi
