Investigate Street Flusher.

Fire Chief J. J.' Montgomery and Councilman Ray Wood were in Chicago Friday investigating the proposition of purchasing a sprinkling, or flushing wagon, rather, for use on our brick business streets the coming season. Ordinary sprinkling of a brick street does very little good, and the proper way to handle the matter is said to be by flushing a few times each day. The water is forced oiit of the tank by air pressure, which is supplied when the tank is being filled, and comes out with considerable force, washing all the dirt and debris to the gutters. It is probable that a wagon of this kind will be purchased and used here the coming season.
