"White Wings on Review." Rows of men wearing the white uniforms of New York City street sweepers (known as White Wings) march by the camera; each row has a police escort. There are several hundred workers marching in this parade of street cleaners representing one district. Immediately following the marching men come approximately a hundred horse-drawn two-wheel small carts for hauling garbage. Impressive display of a city's sanitation might.
