on tie ordinance to exempt a portion of

livery OF the same thereon, which shall be- made
by entering upon and leaving said avenue from
anu by the street next adjacent to the place ~
delivery. Any violation II this provision shall be
punishable as n m"isdcmeanOr.
The proposition to prohibit trucks from
being driven on Fifth avenue is a step
towards the preservation of that thor
ouSnfarc as a driveway. An attempt was
made To have the last Legislature pass
the ordinance as a law, but the bill was
shelved in the interest. II Is alleged, OF
the street-grabbing railroad corporations,
who want the use OF Fifth avenue for A
cable railroad.
The ordinance will not prevent n rail

and consents are obtained, hut lts pass.
