SMITH AND HIS MACHINES. To the Honorable the Mayor and Commonalty of New-York City: We the undersigned, citizens, tax-payers and residents of this City, understanding that the Mayor Comptroller and City Inspector, with, as we believe, a desire to introduce a system of street cleaning into New-York more adapted to its wants and requirements than the present inefficient and extravagant one, have employed the proprietor of the street-sweeping machines to clean the streets, respectfully request your honorable body to give Mr. SMITH's plan of doing this work a fair trial, believing that the success of the enterprise will add largely to the health, comfort and prosperity of our metropolis, and eventually prove a saving to tax-payers.
