SCORES PLAN OF
DIGGING HOLES IN
HARDPAVEMENTS
One . -lob of Laying 1Vater,
" Sewer Mains'Should Wait
for Other, Says Head of
Street Cleaning Work. ;
The practice of digging holes In hard
surface pavement Is denounced fcy
Superintendent Alex Donaldson of the
city street cleaning department, In his
annual report for 1911, filed with th
ity auditor yesterday.
"I Insist that .many street are opened
. tinneceBB&rlly," says Mr. Donaldson.
"It seems to me that when a hard
surface" pavement Is opened for two
purposes, for Instance when -water
mains and gas mains are to , be laid,
one should be 4 made " to . wait for the
other. Tl.o mora a street Is dug up the
wore difficult It becomes to, keep the
I pavement clean.. Hollows are formed in
rhic;i mud becomes a nuisance in wet
weather and .dust holes are the result
in dry weather, . It is Impossible to
keep a patched pavement looking clean
and orderly, streets are cut open" for
block after block and adjoining streets
become caked with mud. It is not rea
sonable to exact from the street clean
ing corps such arduous and unneces
sary work as Is entailed by these con
ditions. The practice f cutting pave
ments unnecessarily should be stopped.
Too Knoh Space Oocupled. (
"Another source of trouble Is the
piling of building; material, on the pave-
i tnents. I recommend that 'an ordinance
be oassed llmlttna- the space that can
be, occupied by such material and the
i time It can lay oa the street. An orai
nance should be passed compelling con
traotor 7 to keep sand and gravel in
. boxes where buildings are being con
Btructed. If this material Is thrown
loose on the street It is carried alonjr
the pavemeiu by passing vehicles.
The hard surfacing of hundreds of
Y miles of city streets in recent years has
paved the expenditure by this depart
?mnt thousands of dollars. The only
j streets that are now' sprinkled are
arravel and macadam thoroughfares and
r inese are treated witn on.
, , , 188 Men Employed.
An average of 188 men are employed
, by the department. A day shift and
night shift is operated. The day shift
' attends to the outlying residence dls
' trlcU and ' the, night shift cleans the
"thF business- dlstrictR"" The
total labor cost of operating both shifts
during the year was $148,689.60. Sal
aries paid to superintendents, foremen
and Other employes i.)t Included in the
rank and file of the white wing army
amounted to $22,512.60. Horses pur
chased during the year cost $9115
There are 148 horses now on hand. Feed
.and bedding for the "horses cost $24,
848.78. The bill for horseshoeing was
$1350.95. During the present year It
; Will' be necessary to clean 566.88 miles
Of streets, exclusive of new streets.
i The report shows that the force of
men employe , in the cleaning of the
gravel and macadam streets can fret
over the ground only once every 187
days, or about twice a year. Thirty
three men and 14 dump carts are used
in this work. It costs $77 a mil to
clean and cart away the," dirt on tliia
; class of : streets. Six men are kept
almost 'constantly at work cleaning
catch basins. These men- clean 60,080
eaten basing a year.
Horses In Iceland are shod, with shep
; horn, while those In the Sudan are
fitted with sock made of camel skin.

POLICE MASCOT MUST
WEAR DOG LICENSE, OR
BE TAKEN TO POUND
"Jimmy," for many years the
mascot of the police station and
cared for by Police Matron Sim
mons, is about to lose her home,
for Dogcatcher Welch has Issued
an ultimatum "Jimmy" must
wear a license tag or be carried
off to the dog Jail as a vagrant.
"Jimmy" came to the station
when but a pupw-a homeless,
hungry waif. Some kind hearted
patrolman took her In and placed
her in Matron Simmons' care.
Dogcatchers heretofore have
seen "Jimmy" on the street, but
they quickly looked the other
way, for she is a harmless fox
terrier and every patrolman Is
her friend. But Dogcatcher
Welch says there must be a
license Issued for "Jimmy" or
she . will be carted, yelping,
away to tbe pond.
And the patrolmen look at
"Jimmy" and ay, "Not by a
darn sight," whatever that may
mean.

Breakfasts at noon, late suppers, thea

me. X advise all young women to be

delivered today after the nine days' ex
perience by Mrs. Ruby Brown, aged 19.
During that time she lived In the
best room at the Hotel La Salle, had
meals In .her room, manicures, flowers,
taxi rides and everything else one could
have charged. Then she sent the bill
to her husband, Benjamin Brown, who
makes $16 a week a an electrician, and
went home. She did not stay there long,
for Brown refused to pay and Mr.
