Many pretests have been entered i e-cently e-cently by owners ot automobiles and other vehicles because their property, proper-ty, while standing Jn rront ot business busi-ness houses, has been '.flushed with water from sprinkling wagons. Some business men have gone so far as to say that prosecution wUl follow it teamsters on .sprinklers persist In flooding their cars with water. Now, that the public might fully understand matters nnd be "up to tno moment" when these prosecutions be'-gln, be'-gln, let It be known that the offenders are not tho teamsters In nil cases, but the owners of vehicles In prac-I prac-I tlcally every lnstnnce. Men nre hired ! to sprinkle the streets and If they neglect so to do, business men, and exactly tho same ones who nre now complaining nro tho first to enter a kick. The city streets ennnot bo properly sprinkled It the samo arc crowded with standing nutomoblles six dnys of the week, but "the streets must, nnd will be properly dampened," says Mayor Hayball, "even If somo enrs do get flushed, nnd If prosecution prosecu-tion comes at all It will bo against the persistent offenders ot that city ordinance or-dinance covering the obstruction of city streets and not the unoffending (en rasters." |
