The Public Works Committee at J ast
Secures a 0uorum-A Large Number OF
Street Improvements Ordinances Affirm
atively Recommended to Councils Yes
terday.
The Public Works Committee managed to
get quorum yesterday afternoon, and took
action on large number of street improve
ment ordinances S. E. Warren, OF the
Sixteenth ward, had an ordinance before
the committee, in which he asked for the
privilege of running 2O-foot high trestle
switch track from the Junction Railroad
over Thirty-third street and Spring alley to
his coal yard on the Denny estate. A dis
cussion arose as to the propriety of allow
ing such a privilege, it being stated that
the junction above-grade crossing at Thirty
third street and Penn avenue was a nuis-
ance to people compelled to pass under it
on account of the continual dropping OF hot
water, grease and ashes from passing loco
motives and from the falling of ceal, coke
and other material from the freight
cars as they pass over II
was finally decided to afirmatlvely
recommend the ordinance after an amend
ment had been inserted providing that suit
trestle or bridge to protect persons walking
under from the annoyances referred to.

recommended:
