SWEEPER FOR THE
DOWNTOWN STREETS
Council Committee to Ask That
Apparatus be Used in Bust
ness District Only.

At a meeting of the Street and
Wharf Committee of the City Coun-
Gil to be held in the near future, it will
be decided what means can be employ
ed to give the city, especially the bust
ness district. cleaner streets. Street
Commissioner Brunke will be asked to
make some suggestions to improve
conditions.
At the meeting of the council Tues
day evening it was decided to have the
street-sweeping machine repaired and
use this instrument instead of the four
men who now sweep the streets with
brooms. It was suggested that this
action would reduce the expenses of
the city at least 500 month.
It is probable that the streets in the
business districts will be kept clean
with the sweeper for which a team
will be hired each day, while the street
cleaners will be retained in the resi-
dent district. The Street and Wharf
Committee will make its report at the
next meeting of the City Council and
this body will take whatever action is
necessary.
In lbs remarks to the City Council
Tuesday evening, Street Commissioner
Brunke complained of the unsatisfac-
tory service given by some of the
street cleaners and upon the sugges-
ton of Councilman Schuchert it was
decided to have the matter investi-
gated by the council to ascertain
whether it would be preferable to use
the street sweeper and discharge the
street cleaners or retain the latter and
abandon the machine.

The grounds surrounding the school
