1546 RESOLUTION NO. 1546
WHEREAS, It has been brought to the attention of members of
the City Council that thorough and proper cleaning of the streets
and alleys in the downtown section of the city is not now being ac-
complished with the present methods in use, and
WHEREAS, Many cities are today using with great success the more
modern Pressure Flusher type of street washer, and washing the main
business streets and pavements. This method takes care of the pro-
blem of cleaning or washing under parked automobiles, and also
flushes the downtown catch basins and storm sewers, vaich often go
for weeks between rainy days, without flushing, and
WHEREAS, the present dry sweeper method, in addition to rais-
ing a cloud of dust which settles back on the streets and sidewalks,
does not pick up the dirt in small holes Or depressions in the pave-
ment; and
WHEREAS, regular opening and closing of fire hydrants in ob-
taining water for use in the "Flusher" tends to keep the hydrants
properly flushed and thereby aids in keeping the water system in
the district clean and free from probable discolored water.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLV-KD BY TIE CITY COUT CIL (.Ii TEE CITY
OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKAi C_.S :
Section 1. That the Mayor and Purchasing Agent investigate the
several makes of "Street Flushers" and the capacities and costs of
same preparatory to ultimate purchase of same.
