Devito for 8treet Sweeping One of
the Latest Innovations.
By Frederio J. Haskin.
The annual meeting of tho Amer
ican Society of Municipal Improve
ment In Dallas, Texas, this week, will
Indirectly summarize the great ad
vance which recently has been made
toward tho improvement of all condi
tions of the American city. The lat
est plans and discoveries which tend
to Improve the streets, parks, schools,
public health, and even the housing
conditions, will be considered at this
meeting by men who have specialized
In' the different subjects.
During the past year a tremendous
campaign has been sweeping over the
country aiming to secure cleaner, bet
ter conditions in hundreds of cities
and towns. The city councils have
Issued orders or recommendations for
a "clean-up" campaign and the cltl
zens have responded with a royal good
will. Consequently, instead of begin
ning the winter with a pile of refuse
In every vacant lot and alley, many
towns In every state are beginning the
winter under more sanitary conditions
than ever before.
These "clean-up" campaigns have
been brought about by various agen
cies. In Paterson, N. J., the cam
nalgn was under the direction of the
board of trade, which appointed a spe
cial committee of 80 to attend to the
details alon- various lines. Sub- com
mittees were appointed to confer with
the board of public health, the board
of public works, the police department,
the Are department and the depart
ment of education, and a special part
of the whole general plan was assigned

to each. The department of public
works provided special wagons for tho
removal of tho accumulation of refuse,
resultant from a special two weeks'
clean-up made by the citizens.
Clean City Buttons,
The board of education encouraged
the Interest of the school children n
the movement, and the board of trade
provided white buttons on which were
inscribed the words, "Paterson, a
Clean City; Member of Committee."
Twenty thousand of these buttons were
distributed among school children who
responded heartily to the appeal. Each
child was provided with a calendar for
the year which contained the "Fly
Catechism," the law regarding throw
ing papers and rubbish upon the stret-t,
and a letter written in rhyme telling
of the purpose of the campaign. The
campaign began by an official inspec
tion of the principal streets by tho
mayor of the city and a number of
public officials who rode at the head
of an automobile parade.
In Auburn. N. Y., a clean street^cru
sade has been in progress. It was au
thorized by the common council which
offered a prize of $10 for the best es
say by a public school pupil upon the
subject. The prize was won by Miss
Lydia L. Fell, who read her essay as
her commencement thesis when grad
uating from the Aubqrn high school.
She closed by fixing the responsibility
of the city's dirt on each individual as
follows:
"Why don't they keep the Streets a
little cleaner?
You ask with annoyance not undue.
Why don't they keep the parks a
little greener?
Did you ever stop to think that
•They' means you?"
In Philadelphia the public school
children play an important pait In the
clean-up work which has been carried
on so actively in that city dur'ng tn !
past few months. The school 'fugues
of good citizenship which are now or
ganized in each ward of the city make
themselves responsible to a large de
gree for removing refuse und paper
from the streets and depositing them
in the metal receptacles provided.
When these receptacles are lacking, the
need is reported at the league meet
ings and from thdm goes to tbs city
department responsible and the needed
article is prompt'y foikhcominj.
Civic Exhibits Held.
An Important factor in securing pub
lic enthusiasm in favor of a clean-up
campaign is the municipal survey and
civic exhibits which are being hell
or planned for in many places. The
average citizen, seeing only the out
ward and most phasing conditions,
often has no idea how much need
there is for a "clean-up," until it is
brought to his attention. In New Eng
land and New York state these sur
veys have seemed to cover a maximum
detail and have been the starting
pf.ints of many reforms. The surveys
include descriptions of conditions,
with statistics and full information re
garding them. They are accompanied
by photographs which present the con
ditions visually. While the descrip
tions of defective street cleaning and
drainage, of neglected corners and al
leys give the actual facta, it takes pic
tures to really convince the citizens
that the school bulldjngs are some
times located on undralned surfaces
causing several inches of water in the
cellars after a rain, that piles of trash
are dumped in locations near enough
to the town to furnish breeding places
for disease germs and that unsightly
bill boards shut out the view in local
ities that otherwise might become at
tractive and beautiful.
In Greenwich, Conn., the survey and
exhibit was conducted especially with
a view to % clean-up in the conditions
of the public school system. The
buildings were overcrowded and built
upon swampy locations and were lack
ing in all provisions for the sanitation
and comfort of the school children.
The result has not only brought about
a movement for the drainage and im
provement of the localities, but also a
bond issue for half a million dollars to
be devoted to permanent Improvements.
Variety of Maohlnee.
In connection with the elean-up-tha
etty movement, account must be tak
en of the great increase In the variety
of machines and utensils for conduct
ing this municipal housecleaning. In
the matter of street sweepers alone
constant Improvement is being made.
Among the 'newest is a suction device
for street cleaning, which is of the
automobile type, propelled by a gas en
gine. In this the sweeping hood rests
upon the street and is preceded by a
set of coarse brushes which loosen any
dirt that is stuck fast to the street.
The dirt is taken up by suction and
deposited in the dirt box, the bottom
of which consists of two doors which
can be dropped for depositing the load.
The modern ideal street cleaning ma
chine not only removes the dirt, with
out distributing the dust in the atmos
phere, but is also required to work
with the minimum noise, as in many
towns the anti-noise crusade is a part
of the general "clean-up."
The proper disposal of garbage and
waste prodv.cts Is an Important mat
ter in securing a perfectly clean city.
The garbage cart should be absolutely
air and water tight. The old barrels
and open buckets used for garbage and
waste are being replaced by metal cans
with tight fitting lids and in the really
clean cities these receptacles are re
quired to be cleansed regularly.
In a number of cities the "clean-up"
crusade also Includes attention to the
smoke nuisance, as it is generally con
ceded that the smoky city can never
be a clean one. In St. Louis, the city
was districted into localities embrac
ing about five square blocks, and vol
unteers gave reports as to the smoky
chimneys in their districts. One of
the public spirited citizens came for
ward with open purse saying he hud
$50,000 to spend if necessary to make
St. Louis a clean city. A lawyer was
employed with six smoke inspectors to
supplement the work that was already
being done for the city, for the state
had a good law affecting the subject
and the difficulty was due to Its non
enforcement. The reports made by the
volunteer reporters in the different dis
tricts were followed up and when nec
essary offenders were brought to court
and forced to comply with the law.
The women's or -anlzatlons were a po
tent force in bringing about the clean
liness of St. Louis, but they received
the hearty co-operation of the city de
partments, the Business Men's league,
the Million club and the great major
ity of the private citizens.
Clean water Is recognized as a most
Important detail in a thoroughly clean
city. In all parts of the country Inter
est is being taken, not only in the
quantity of the water supply, but also
in its purity and quality and the econ
omy with which it is being provided
to consumers. During the past month
a municipal water conservation ex
hibit has been held in Philadelphia In
the courtyard of the city hall, which
has been in some respects the most
noteworthy affair of its kind ever at
tempted In the country.^,The exhibit
included photographs and plans of the
different pumping and filtration plants
which supply water to the city, to
gether with models of them. There
were a number of booths showing
largo collections of water saving and
sanitary devices, an interesting collec
tion of up-to-date plumbing fixtures,
all sorts of bath tubs, showerbaths,
valves, spigots, pipes and meters.
Charts calling attention to tho case
with which washers on spigots may be
replaced, thus saving the waste of mil
lions of dollars of the city's water each
year, were shown, with every devico
and apparatus which can be bought
referring to the subject. In addition
to these, lantern slides wore introduced
to illustrate each phase of water con
servation.

REHEARING DENIED
BY SUPREME COURT
The supreme court yesterday denied
the application for a rehearing in the
case of the state of Idaho versus Sage,
and the result will be that Sage, who
was cashier of the Bank of Shelley, will
have to serve the indeterminate sen
tence passed upon him In the district
court, In the state penitentiary.
The Sage case attracted statewide
attention. Through the activity of
State Bank Examiner V. W. Platt,
Sage was arrested on the charge of
embezzling approximately $3000 from
the Bank of Shelley, with which he
was connected and employed. The
money was alleged to have been se
cured through a check that passed
through the Standrod banking house of
Pocatello. It was claimed that the
malls had been tampered with In order
