Crossing-sweepers

We have our Nightmen to clean the sewage and waste during the very early hours in the morning but, what about during the day? How will we deal with it at this time? This is what our crossing-sweepers are for, to clear paths to walk and move about so that people do not get caught up in the manure and waste that lies on the streets. These gentlemen are very important for the ladies in particular, so that their long dresses do not get soiled by what is on the ground.  They may be the only ones who can somehow appreciate the grotesqueness of the streets for it is how they earn their living.  Do not mistake them for the poor beggars of the streets; these men and boys work very hard for what they can earn. Rewarding them with a gratitude, large or small would be most appreciated by them. Help those who help you!
