Description

Jumping the gun on the city-wide cleanup campaign set or August 12-19, this city street department crew Monday night started washing sidewalks and street in the business district, a service which has been curtailed for some time due to manpower shortages in the department. They will wash the street nightly throughout the summer as part of the city's effort to "clean up the city and keep it clean". Shown washing the sidewalk at 5th and Throckmorton on west side of the 500 block of the latter street are, left to right, Harry Reynolds, street cleaning foreman; Ben S. Ingle and C. D. Duncan, workers; C. C. Allsup, truck driver, in cab, and H. H. Hester, street superintendent, who is standing on running board. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram evening edition, July 24, 1945.
