Čišćenje gradskih ulica

Početak priče o komunalnom održavanju datira još s' kraja devetnaestog veka, iz vremena Velikog Bečkereka kada je, po pisanim dokumentima, daleke 1865. godine u mesnom listu obnarodovan prvi Pravilnik o održavanju čistoće gradskih ulica. Uputstvo Kamelarne administracije o ustrojstvu i delokrugu magistra Velikog Bečkereka predstavlja izvesnu prekretnicu u ovom pogledu, jer se time, između ostalog, stavlja u dužnost i staranje o čistoći ulica i drugim higijenskim merama.

Kada je reč o iznošenju smeća, ono je bilo ostavljeno privatnoj inicijativi i tek je 1893. godine izdavanjem koncesije privatnicima organizovana i ova služba. Čišćenje je je oduvek bilo organizovano samo u ulicama sa kolovozom od kamena, a broj čistača se povećavao uporedo sa razgranjavanjem mreže kaldarmisanih ulica.

Cleaning the City streets

Story of communal services starts at the end of the 19th century during the times of Veliki Bečkerek, when the first bylaw regarding maintenance and cleaning of the city streets was published in the local newspapers in 1865. District administration's instructions regarding the scope and the organization of Veliki Bečkerek's magistrate, represents a certain turning point,since it assigned the responsibility regarding street maintenance and other relevant hygienic tasks. Removal and disposal of the waste was left up to the individuals and it was not regulated as a service until the 1893 when several concessions have been given to private enterprises.

Cleaning was always organized only in the streets covered with cobblestones and the number of cleaning personnel was increasing proportionally with increases in number of cobbled streets. Water sprinkling of the streets began in 1897 when the cistern for sprinkling was pulled by horses. Police was supervising cleaning of the sidewalks.
