Machines To the Editor of The ree Press Your criticisms on our new method of street cleaning are pertinent and to the point though I hardly think you have touched the most vital point in the issue i clogging of the re ceiving and lateral sewers with accumulations of filth from the street A light shower moves very little of this debris of the street to the catch basin while a hard one or an extend ed rain sweeps it through the basin and the lateral sewers often scouring it into the main sewer and on to the river Not so with this flushing sys tem The dirt is simply washed into the receiving basin the major portion to lie there and fester between the es caping gases 'of the sewer and the air circulation from the street surface That which does not lay in the catch basin is slowly floated through the lat eral sewers to the main much of it adhering to the outer surfaces of these sewers and such as adheres to them is likely to 'become a fixture there one that may not be moved by the next flushing shower Such accumulations must very soon fill these lateral kew ers to a choking point when they must be taken up cleaned and relaid or some method of scouring and clean ing them must be invented To my mind it is a serious mistake to brush or flush from our street sur faces one particle of accumulated fiUh into our sewers They were built to carrv away the water that falls on or runs into the streets which cannot be absorbed into the earth owing to the Impervious character of the street sur faces but they should not take one particle of the deposit on that street surface other than such as may be caught and washed 'into them during our infrequent heavy showers or long continued rains HOWE Detroit May 9 1906 cars within three blocks Ihis is one ot the finest subdivisions on
