LAWS TO BE ALTER ED.

The Ordinance Preventing Horse Cars
From stopping on Cresswalks-Other
Proposed Changes.
There were several proposed changes in the
city ordinances discussed by the committee
on ordinances at the meeting last night. One
of the notable changes in the local laws
which IL recommended is moderation of the
law recently adopted by the common council
compelling horse cars to pass by street cross
ings before they stop to admit passengers.
This ordinance has been universally com.
planned of, especially by ladies who were
forced to walk several feet through the mud or
water or slush, whichever happened to bs in
the street, before they could reach the car.
There are few crossings In the business
center Of the city at which the law has
worked fairly well, but the outlying cross.
ings have not seemed to need this extraordi.
nary precaution.
The committee last night recommended
that the ordinance be modified so as to
allow the rear platform of a car to ovsrhang
the farther crosswalk of an interesting
street.
Alderman @. s. Hamilton, Attorney Harry
Asher, and ex-Assistant City Clerk futile,
who were directed last year to revise the city
charter and ordinances, reported that a
number of conflicting sections had been
found. These were mostly caused by sec.
tions enacted after the formation of the char
ter and general statutes. Clerical errors were
also found ~ were defective arrangements.
In order to remedy these defects the COM
mittee recommended that the court of COM
mon council repeal some sections or parts Of
sections, and to make such other changes as
the special committee suggested as necessary.
| Among the changes which 1t will be neces.
sary to make In order to remedy these defects
will be the omission of such parts Of the
charter regarding the election law as the 80.
oret ballot law practically repeals. the omis-
sion of certain provisions In the charter re.
lating to coroner; the prohibiting the tying
Of ropes, guys, horses and the like to n.y.
drants; the requiring Of proper exits to be
maintained by those In charge of houses in
cases where the owners are non-residents
the prohibiting the ringing of gongs and
bells upon the highways similar
to those used by fire engines
the fifty cent license fee for cleaning vault
out Of season; the substitution of "court oil
common council"'for. "board of aldermen" In
advising the corporation counsel how to act
in regard to legislation before the general
assembly Affecting the city; prohibiting ball
playing In any lot without permission of the
owner; prohibiting the Aging Of toy balloons
: on the streets.
