JOINT ATTACK ON
DUST NUISANCE
BOARD OF WORKS DEVOTES
TIME TO SUBJECT
Committee of Citizens Consults With
Officials, and Plans for Better
System of Street Cleaning
Are Discussed
The care of the streets was the chief
topic of consideration at the meeting
of the board of public works yesterday
afternoon. Street Superintendent Han
ley and City Engineer Stafford were
present to assist the board In dealing
with the questions that came up for
discussion.
A committee of citizens, headed by
Dr. W. Q. Dodge, appeared before the
board In reference to the dust nuisance.
Secretary Zeehandelaar represented the
Merchants' association on the same er
rand. Several plans were discussed,
but the most feasible seems to be that
of sweeping a large part of the streets
In the business section by hand, after
having washed them with water un
der pressure. i"%/ : '.'
The committee proposed tliat Super
intendent Hanley employ fifty addi
tional men to sweep the streets between
Temple and Tenth and Hill and Main.
Mr. Hanley and the board were willing
to try the experiment, but Chairman
Kern explained that the question of
finances had to be considered. "We can
not tell," said Mr. Kern, "whether the
city can meet this additional expense
until we have a report from the city
auditor."
Secretary Zeehandelaar then volun
teered the information that he believed
the citizens will be willing to make
up any deficit that may occur during
the present fiscal year in case the city
is unable to bear all the expense. It is
expected that some definite plan will
be presented to the council at its meet
ing Monday.
Superintendent Hanley suggested to
the board that consideration be given
to the advisability of paving several
bad streets. He recommended that
Bellevue avenue be paved as far east
as San Fernando street, that First
street be paved from Hill to Bunker
Hill avenue, and that the paving on
Third and Fourth streets be carried
as far west as Bunker Hill avenue.
These suggestions will be considered
as a part of the general plan. ,
Mr. Hanley said he had been making
an investigation of the working of the
machines used for sweeping the streets.
He said he had found, much to his sur
prise, that the automatic sweepers can
be operated for about ?30 a month each
less than those drawn by horses. The
council may determine to purchase two
more sweeping machines.
CITY WANTS BETTER
SUPPLY OF GRAVEL
Present Method of Securing Supply
Under Contract System Is Not
Satisfactory
Street Superintendent Hanley is en
deavoring to solve the question of pro
curing a cheap and ample supply of
gravel to be used as a top dressing for
the streets. Mr. Hanley and Mayor
McAleer have held several conferences
upon the subject, and the former placed
some of his conclusions before the
board of public works yesterday after
noon. '
"What the city needs," said Mayor
McAleer yesterday, "is an unfailing
and easily accessible supply of gravel.
The scheme of advertising and letting
the contract to the lowest bidder is all
right as far as it goes.
• "The trouble with that system is that
some bidder who lives at a distance

this gravel Is delivered In the city it
coats entirely too much money on ac
count of transportation expenses.
"Superintendent Hanley and I have
been Inveatlngtlng this subject, and we
believe we have found a supply of
gravel that Is practically Inexhaustible
and that Is near the city. We believe
that nn arrangement for cheap trans
portation can tup .made, and If so the
question will be settled satisfactorily."
Mr. Hanley «ald the gravel he and
the mayor have in view Is on the line
of the old rapid transit steam railroad,
where it can be easily reached and pre
pared for transportation to the city.
Councilman Blanchard was unable to
attend the meeting of the board on
account of a severe attack of the pre
