HORSES KEPT
 WORKING FOR
 EASTERN CITY
Prove Economical on Street Cleaning Are
 Cheaper than Trucks

BOSTON, July 25.-Not forsen- timent-so they say-but for dol lars and cents, the Newton Street Department retains its horses.
 It had been rumored, when an appropriation for a motorized rub bish collector was asked, that steps were being taken to replace the horses which, father and son, had served the city for so many years.
 Not so. Commissioner George E. Stuart appreciates the economic value of horses in certain jobs.
 But say what they will, there is undeniably bit of sentiment rife in the department where their handsome beasts are concerned.
 Of course it is not strong enough to keep the officials from changing over to motor trucks if the econ- omy could be proved.
 Perhaps the safest way is to say that the officials are very glad the figures favor the horses.
 About forty are owned at the

Concrete was being pour ed for the foundation of the hos pital that will be operated in con- nection with the school. The new Presbyterian church at Wrangell is an attractive edifice, well appoin- ted.
 At Petersburg, fishermen were busy. A large and well built gym nasium has just been completed there for use by public school pupils, and, no doubt, will be av- ailable to others for indoor sports.
 Road Work Outlined
 "The Bureau of Public Roads is outlining considerable work in the neighborhood of Petersburg. The smart appearance of the freshly painted homes, the improved streets and the carefully cultivated gardens are strikingly noticeable and favor ably impress the visitor

present time, distributed at three stables. They are kept busy every day; in fact there are more jobs than horses.
 Two from the Street Department have had to be loaned for the Forestry Departments spray wag- on
 Out at to Clean Up
 Each day at ' o'clock in the morning they go dangling out in their harness to the wagon yards and are backed into the shafts of tip carts, work wagons and col lectors.
 The division foreman has assign ed them to this or that bit of cleaning and repairing, perhaps a number of them at one task.
 Out of the Crafts Street yard, largest of the three, two double hitches and tip cart had been sent to work with a steam roller on street and sidewalk repair.
 Not far away two more double hitches were moving along from pile to pile of dirt that had been scraped from the gutters. The horse nearest the sidewalk missed no opportunity to snatch a mouthful of grass, most unlady- like diseourtesy to her companion, who was obviously accommodating 8 resentment which threatened to l lead to a nip.
 They are all heavy animals and when they go out in the morning their coats shine with handsome gloss, less glittering, to be sure, than that of a five-faited mare on show but nevertheless indicative of attentive care and proper feeding.
 Wend Weary Way Home
 In the afternoon, along toward 4, when they wend their way back to the yard, they seem slow and heavy with the consciousness of a days work done.
 But when they have been un- hitched they march purposefully for the ramp and at it's foot break into scurrying gallop that takes them up with a fine rattle of chains and thunder of hoofs.
 Most of them turn right into the stable door, but one paused on the height with all the air of a squire back from his inspections and looked carefully about the yard making sure things were in their places - trailer here, roller there, wagons all in-then he sigh ed and went to his stall. The items of talk among those at the stables during the day was the ailment of the big gelding who had reported lame that morning.
 The veterinary had not been sure whether it was a muscular strain, but anyway they had given him a day off, leading him out for a bit of grass and an afternoon in a sunny stall.
 Good on Many Jobs
 The utility of the horse in public works lies chiefly in short hauls or on job with many stops close to- gether, as in the cleaning task mentioned above.
 At another place in Newton a heavy truck was seen creeping along at it's slowest pace to enable men to walk beside it and scoop up other piles of dirt.
 That's hard on a truck and wouldn't have been done if there had been more horses available.
 Many cities persist in the use of horses. Boston's Department of Works has 230 and there are few in the Park Department.
