New - York. Feb. 20 (Special) That
feJJLWe tunUts river to.-.
tretns,-or- tts stroets Into "rivers, ' or r
both, is now indicate by the at
tempts which are being made toward
a satisfactory solution of the greatest
municipal problems which the world
has ever known. A few years ago Mr.
Thomas A. Edison advanced the sug
gestion that the East River be entire
ly filled in, thus affording a largely In- .
creased manufacturing and living area
for the city's congested population
and making the solution of the trans
portation problem now grown most
acute, much simpler. While such an
epoch-marking "undertaking, still re
mains in the future, its eventual ac
complishment is sure to come accord
ing to expert opinion. A new angle
has just. been.a'lde4.:.tc., tha ograpby
making, sug-gestlon, howet.V,. by the
proposal of the head of the street
cleaning . department that iuslead of
making streets where the river now is
that thla stream' should be turn d
into th,e "streets. In other words, jt '
Is proposed tcV do away with the old '
faBhionedtand germ scattering meth
od of cleaning the city's thorough-
fares by sweeping and instead to flush i
them every day ; thus -eUmiaatlng the
dust peril. At first of course -such
cleansing would have to be carried on
by the use of high pressure hydrants."
But so enormous is the area to be -cleaned
dally that, should tha experi-'
ments In we prove successful, a svs- .
tem similar to irrigation methods of
the West be adopted by which water
from the rivers might be turned into
various streets during the early morn
ing hours, thus temporarily turning '
them into rivers. Certainly the slope
of many streets would make such a
plan easy of accomnllsTiment. How
neceesary some . such innovation Is
may be understood from the fact that
it Is now netessary '..to clean about
24,000.000 square yards of afreet sur-
race which if laid out In a single ave
nue would make a thoroughfare more
than 2500 miles in length. ; ' '
