Sweeper and Cleaner
for Lexington Streets

The board of aldermen at their last
meeting purchased late model Hvass
street sweeper and cleaner, that will
greatly add to the city's cleanliness,
as well as become a great saving in ex-
pense of cleaning by the old broom and
wagon system. The sweeper will be
powered by a Fordson, and the broom
will have a cleaning width of around
8 feet. When the sweeper passes over
any paved area, it will have been wash
ed and swept of all accumulations of
trash. The power plant will also be
used by the city on other jobs demand
ed if figures submitted by other towns
are correct, this will also be great
saving of money to the city.
The bid was awarded to Barr Gwin
Co., local Ford dealers, who submitted
the lowest and best bid for the equip
ment desired.
The factory has advised that same has
been shipped and it is expected to be
placed in operation some time this week.

left Mississippi richer through its exist

example of emulation.
His last years had been spent in the
