Alderman P. S. BROWN, Jr., has drafted an ordinance which will be introduced at the next meeting of the Council, providing that no one shall sprinkle a street with a street-sprinkling cart without first obtaining a permit from the superintendent of streets and complying with whatever provisions the superintendent of streets may see fit to impose. The ordinance provides a fine of from $1 to $100 for each violation to prevent the street sprinkling men from throwing any water upon the street crossing. Mr. BROWN says that while he is not a married man, it has come under his observation that the wetting of the crossing soils the bottoms of the women's skirts. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
