Boston streets kept clean by Board of Health efforts

The article praises Boston cleanliness and street maintenance, credits the Board of Health with directing sweeping and watering, and notes experiments analyzing street dust. It describes the use of salt water for washing, the superiority of sea water, and hopes for improved sewers. A separate incident reports Lizzie Shayton, of 93 Roxbury Street, jumping from a ferry boat and being rescued and returned home.
