Suggestion to Huckstcrs
Charles w. Smiley has complained to
tiAe OF tne mceSSant crying
of hucksters on Massachusetts avenue be-
tween 9th and 10th street from a. m.
until p. m. He suggests the adoption Of
the following police regulation relative to
hucksters:
1t shall not be permitted TO sell by hawk
ing, public cries, etc, in the northwest
section of the city before a. m nor after
ii d. m. OF each week day. Ii shall not be
permitted In the northeast section before ~
a. m. nor after p. m. 1t shall not be per-
mitted in the southeast section before - m
ror after q p. IN. 1t shall not be permitted
In the southwest section before u a. m. nor
after II m.
In this or some similar manner, he saws
hucksters may work all day but each sec
ton will be subject to annoyance during
only few hours. 1t is just as reasonable.

STEERS as that of the newsboys Sunday
morning after 1870.

Telegraph Poles in the Way.
Contractor Crawford, who is building the
Easily Point sewer. has called the atten-

strung with wires along the line of con-
struction, and belonging to the Western
Union Company. He states that the West
ern Union Company has been notified to re-
move the poles, but as yet nothing has been
done. The sewer cannot be constructed
safely without removing the poles, and he
requests the Commissioners to order their
removal at once, as failure to do SO will re-
tard the work.
