An accident occurred recently at the Alt-man building, where two men were killed to run the local department. One of the causes of the filthy streets Is the fine weather. The snow has not fallen, as for the past fifteen years, to cover the dirt. Therefore, while t-he city has saved several hundred thousand dollars on removing snow In this borough, the public ruts suffered from the dirtiest streets ever. The force of white wings was cut down with the coming of winter, on the assumption that there would soon ha put on the market.
