STREET CLEANING.
A New Idea. Th motor cycle side-car has I opened up many fields of usefulness. I One of the latest applications in America is that of anplying it to street cleaning. In front of the aide car is a steel brush, which may be depressed so as to bring it into contact with the pavement. The brush then scrapes and 1 osens up the dirt, bo that the rotary broom which is iormediately behind it can sweep it up. A handle ii attached to the side of the driver's seat. When this is raised the broom is lowered into contact with the pavpment and caused to rotate. When the handle is lowered the broom rotating mechanism is thrown out of operation. A machine ot this type is particularly aduted for use on streets paved with asphalt or with wood. The-e machines have ueen tried in Washington, and have proved very efficient.
