Notice has been served upon the Park

the sidewalks in front of their business
places clear of all boxes by tomorrow even
ing they will be arrested for the violation
of a city ordinance.
Six painters and paper-hangers in the en-
ploy of Stanley Stephenson went out on
strike yesterday, because he insisted upon
their working nine hours a day. while they
demanded eight hours to constitute days

AT the meeting of the City Trustees last
evening Mr.. Forderer reported that two
chemical engines are now III commission,
one stationed in the Webb-avenue House
and the other in the Seventh-street House.
Property-owners on Eagle avenue, from
Oak street to Broadway, petitiuned that il
be graded, curbed and macadamiZed. Re-
ferred to the City Attorney to prepare a
resolution of intention.
Property owners asked that Stanton street
be opened from Santa Clara to Central

Street Committee. Electrician GOldthwaite
asked that he be authorized to employ an
assistant for two or three months at salary
Of $50 per month, but action on his request

report of the Commissioners for the open

much contention.

EVENING.
LECTURE ON Ronds.

Mrs Mary Lynde Hoffman, Treasurer of
the Women's Press Association, at a meet
ing of the association at Union square
Hall, delivered an address on County
Roads and City Streets" during the course
OF which she gave a condensed history of
such thOrOughfares and their influence on
the civilization and progress of a country,
and drawing comparison between those
built by the Governments OF olden times
and those of the present age The inference
TO be drawn from her remarks is that roads
should be built by State governments and
streets by municipal authorities. and they
should be made good and kept in the same
condition. Her argument was that good
roads and streets improve property and
make il valuable. She held up to ridicule
the counterfeit macadam road of this coun-
try as compared with the same kind of
road in the old country. She thought that
the building of trucks and the weight that
should be allowed to rest on each wheel
should be regu lated by law.
