“Tram Track Rubbish”

“Comments are heard in three municipalities against the way in which the tramway authorities cleanse their tracks. Two employees walk the line each morning with pointed shovels   which scoop up the road refuse and each casts it onto the roadside to be scattered by the wind and annoy pedestrians and shopkeepers. It is an untidy and objectionable scheme. Could not some attachment be fitted to the cars to pick up the refuse continuously? Failing that the stuff should be fed into barrows on a cart and taken olff the streets.”………….The Geelong Advertiser December 13 1915.
