 Contractor Geary complains about heavily loaded teams driving at a fast rate of speed over the temporary bridge and has requested the city to station g. policeman at the west end to warn people against fast driving. For the present, Officer Clyne will prevent fast driving. The new rule is seriously objected to by the merchants, who say that driving at a walk will greatly de- lay their teams.
 Ut looks as if they were determined to kill Fair Haven business" said one of the merchants yesterday in crit- ClSlllS ltlG new .OTQGE. buSlllGSS IS dead enough now without any further handicaps. First, Fair Haven trade was injured when the trolley was eX- tended to Montowese. Formerly the country people stopped here to trade but now they ride right through to the city on the cars. Then after Middle town avenue was macadamiZed in the spring the people instead of driving in to the city-over Grand avenue bridge came in over Lewis bridge and gave Fair Haven the go7by. And now we are to be prevented from driving our light delivery wagons over the tenn porary bridge faster than a walk, but the electric cars are permitted to run as fast as usual. It is all wrong, and the merchants don't like it. It is a great inconvenience and trouble.
 The Calumet club at a meeting held Saturday evening, voted to raise two sixty-ive-foot poles and suspend there- from a Mckinley and Hobart banner across Grand avenue. One pole will be placed in front of the club house in the Eleventh ward, the other in front of H. w. Crawfords building in the Twelfth ward. The sum of $119 has been subscribed in the Eleventh, Twelfth and Fourteenth wards and the voters in these wards will participate in the flag raising exercises, to take place some evening next week. It is expected that two brass bands will furnish music and speeches will be made by local speakers. The old ban ner, owned by the republicans in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards, is being lettered and repainted by c. w. Raw son. Contractor J. A. Thorpe will fur nish the poles and set them.
