THE SIGN HAVOC.

The work Of shaving off business signs
to a level with the sidewelk goes merrlly
on. Concerning this matter an attorney
was heard speaking yesterday and after
reading the section giving such power to
the city government said that it would
not apply to a business sigh over eight
feet above the walk. He thought it would
include all awnings lower than eight feet,
which would remove most Of them. The
section referred to is section s. ordinance
559, and is as follows:
ANY person having charge of any lot,
tract or parcel of ground in the city limits,
admitting upon any street therein, who
shall allow limbs of any tree growing
along or upon any sidewalk 80 project over
the sidewalk lower than eight feet above
said sidewalk, or who shall plant or per-
NIT to grow any hedge SO that any part of
the same will project over any sidewalk
more than six inches, or who shall put up
or keep any sign or anything whatso-
ever that shall overhang any sidewalk
unless said sign or other thing shall be at
least eight feet above said sidewalk, shall.
upon conviction, be fined in any sum not
exceeding five dollars"
Some of the business men take the idea
very kindly while others kick with kick
that seems to be in earnest. All the time,
however, the removing keep going on and
the result on Main and Douglas can be
observed very clearly.

WATER WORKS IMPROVEMENTS.

The water works company is filling the
wells formerly used by the company on
the Little river bank. They expect to re-
move the old stand pipe in few days and
clear away the rubbish from the old sta
ton. 1t will be remembered that the city
council many months ago granted leave to
remove the stand pipe and it was expected
that it would be removed long before this.
The Holly pump ordered for this station
some months ago it is thought will
arrive in two or three weeks 1t
has capacity of five millions daily. The
The present pumping capacity is seven
millions Four millions will be taken out
leaving the plant with an eight million ca
pacity under the contemplated improve
mentS
The city at present uses about one and a
half million gallons, and this will be great
lv increased when the warm weather
comes.
The local superintendent of the company
is very anxious that the pumping station
be reached by the fire alarm station. As is
known this is much mooted question on
the local program. 1t is said it sometimes
occurs that the station fails to get word of
a fire until sometime after the pressure is
needed. 1t is thought that the station
should be connected with hose house No.
and the alarm sent in from there as soon as
received,

Judge James Humphrey arrived over
the Rock Island from Topeka last night
and about an hour later he was joined at
the Carey by Mr.. A. r. Green and Mr.. A.
GiIlett, the other two members of the state
board of railroad commissioners, who came
by way of the Santa Fe from Emporia
where they had been in attendance on the
G. A. r. reunion.
Judge Humphrey submitted to short
interview and said the object of the visit of
himself and confreres was to hear and III
quire into any complaints that might be
laid before them by the board OF trade or
the citizens Of Wichita relative to freight
rates. They had been addressed ton the
subject generally and had appointed
Friday morning for inquiry and hearing
the arguments of the representatives OF
the railroad companies operating
in Wichita and of the represent
tatives of the city. The case involved
large number of elements such as the
volume of business done by the railroads
in Wichita, the financial condition of the
roads and the relative rates elsewhere, all
of which would have to be exclusively
discussed and the arguments considered
later. All matters brought up would be
searchingly inquired into and it was the
intention Of the commissioners to remain
in the city until complete investigation
had been made.
1t has not yet been definitely settled
where the conference will be held and
while the general impression has been that
the railroad commissioners court would
sit in the board of trade rooms, it may be
that the parlors of the Carey hotel will be
used. The commissioners will expect to
meet large number of the leading bust
ness men of the city, members OF the board
of trade, city officers, etc, at the confer
ence.
In connection with the visit of the rail-
road commissioners matter OF the very
greatest moment itself. il may be inciden-
tally mentioned that other visitors OF note,
who are intimately associated with
Wichita's future, are now here, among
them being Mr.. A. w. Armour, OF Kansas
City, and Mr.. NJ Greenwood, the most
prominent real estate man in ST. Louis.
Then Mr.. F. D. RUSSELL assistant general
freight agent of the Frisco, came III from
ST. Louis last night and this morning Mr.
Gable, of the Rock Island, Mr.. W. NJ.
Sage, traffic manager, and MIR. Atwood,
genearla freight agent, of the same road;
Mr.. w. f. White and Mr.. S. b. Hines,
respectively traffic manager and general
freight agent of the Santa Fe and prob
ably a number OF other railroad officials,
possibly Major Morrill,. besides represen-
tatives of the Missouri Pacific and so on,
will arrive by special trains so that alto
gether the meeting promises to be not
able one and one that should be fruitful Of
many results.
