The
Aldermen
decided
thatl
the
city
had
better
uses
for
Its
money
than
spending
it
on
having
the
surplus,
gritty
sub-stahce
swept
up
by
hand,
and
hoped
that
the
winter
rains
would
wash
it
from
under
the
feet
of
the
public.
They
were
discussing
a
letter
from
Chamber
of
Commerce
Secretary
E.
T.
Applewhalte,
which
complained
that
the
ex
cess
slag
was
being
tracked
into
downtown
business
places,
creating
a
nuisance.
Since
the
city
had
put
It
there,
would
it
kindly
do
something
about
its
removal?
Alderman
Ham
favored
the
stuff
swept
up,
suggestng
that
city
workmen
with
brooms
might
do
the
job.
City
Engineer
Phillips
replied
that
in
other
cities
it
was
customary
for
the
excess
dressing
to
be
swept
off
streets
which
had
been
repaired,
but
in
other
cities
there
were
automatic
sweepers
to
do
the
Job.
It
would
be
an
awkward
and
expensive
Job
to
have
It
done
by
hand,
the
City
Engineer
said.
Alderman
Youngs
admitted
that
he
deplored
the
presence
of
the
black
slag
too,
but
thought
the
city
couid
spend
the
money
required
to
sweep
It
up
to
better
purpose.
Council
adopted
his
motion
that
since
the
street
budget
was
nearly
exhausted,
the
remainder
of
the
money
might
be
spent
to
better
effect
than
sweeping
the
streets.
"We
are
fortunate
to
have
some,
of
our
streets
sealed,"
he
said.
"We
could
spend
the
money
we
have
left
to
better
purpose
If
we
used
It
to
seal
other
streets
against
the
weather."
He
added
that
he
believed
the
rain
would
wash
the
excess
slag
away
anyway.

despite

At
the

lime
he
said
the
United

now
holds
a
threat
to

such
