MODERN METHODS OF STREET CLEANING 



The receptacle is never clean and is always, in some 

 degree, offensive to sight and smell. -If the prevalent 

 crude ways of collecting heavy and bulky household 

 wastes could be done away with in favor of some such 

 plan as that by which human excrement is disposed of 

 in cities, that is, promptly and adequately, through a 

 transportation system of some kind, the problem of 

 keeping cities clean would be greatly simplified. Under- 

 ground transportation by water carriage is impracticable 

 for all the wastes of a city, but systematic removal by 

 some appropriate method can and should be accom- 

 plished.
