One of society's young lions, who
enjoys the privilege of working for
the county, and sometimes is obliged
to get to his office at an early hour in
the morning, recently filed complaint
with state official, in which he said:
did you ever happen TO be down town
on the avenue at 1890 in the morning?
1t is at that hour that the caretaKers
of the down town buildings begin to
clean out, and sometimes can scarce
ly get past building. on account of
the dust that is swept out onto me and
piled up in front of me. AS a state Of
ficer, you should do something about
it"
The state officer answered: mo, I
am never down town on the avenue at
get in a few hours earlier than that:
yet l can sympathize with you when
you are subjected to the indignity of
having your dress up clothes all
mussed up with sweepings. 1 would
counsel you to toddle home a bit ear
lier. AS state officer, I have no au-
thority to prevent janitors from sweep
ing out buildings: nor can 1 appoint
the hour for the performance of that
labor; but friend 1 can advise you
to resolve to cross the bar about five
a. m. ana you ought to make it safely
into port by 7:30.''
