H CONFUSING NAMES
STREETS IN EACH WARD WHERE
CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE
Proceedings of the Council-C0m-
pIaint Against the Capitol-Avenue
observation-disclosures Drunk.

- 49, %'0NN~
ing, Councilman Dudley, chairman of the
committee appointed to consider the renam-
ing of the streets, had prepared for the diff
ferent councilmen the names Of the streets
in their respective wards which are re-
ceiving the consideration of the committee.
The lists furnished do not represent the
streets whose names will have TO be
changed, but the names which are confus-
ing. BY a glance at the lists in the different
wards il is seen that there are many streets
with the same names. In determining what
names shall be changed the will
probably allow those streets bearing the
names for the longest time TO retain
them. In remaining, the committee hopes to
so arrange matters that no two streets
shall have the same or similar names.
The committee favors changing the names
Of all the cross streets north of Washington,
beginning with Market street as First. No
action on this proposition has been taken,
but a member of the committee said last
night:
1.-The cross streets will have to be named
by number some of these times and the
change might just as well be made now as
any time later. L favor giving all the cross
streets north of Washington numbers and
by this means avoiding a great deal of
confusion"
The mmit has asked the counciImen
to report next Monday night on any sugges-
tons they may have. BY giving out the
lists OF last evening it is hoped to get the
matter before the public and arrive at some
kind of an agreement in those cases where
there are two streets bearing the same
name. Following are the streets in the diff
ferent wards under consideration and sub
ject to a change: - 4.4

VAULT. ORDINANCE KILLED.
The department of health woulSl get along
very well but for the Common Council. The
latter has a cold. cruel way of killing plans
and projects which the health officers SUBJ
init. At last nights meeting of the Coun-
| ell the boards cherished ordinance regu-
lating the hauling of garbage and the clean
ing of vaults. cesspools. ETC., was stricken
from the files. The deed was lone by the
Democratic members of the Council, the
| very ones whom the Board Of Health would
| expect TO be its friends because of political
| affinity. The Democratic councilmen seem
| hostile, however. to all matters Of sanitary
law and the board gets few favors from
| them.
The ordinance killed at last nights SEES
/ sion prOVlueu TOT the licensing anu registrar
| ton of all haulers of garbage and vault
| cleaners. A license fee of $50 was provided.
The committee on public health had an
| amendment to offer proposing to reduce the
license to s., and made property owners as
well as renters liable to order to have
cleaning done. Objection was made TO the
license fee for the reason that it would
drive the poor man out of the business.
| Without hearing the proposed amendment
the Council struck the ordinance from the
files by a vote Of thirteen to seven. In ex-
| planning his vote MIR. Dudley said: Il be-
lieve this ordinance Is a concocted scheme
| to monopolize the business
Not daunted. the Board of Health had an
| other ordinance to submit. Councilman
Dewar introduced IL, with the result that 1t
was read and referred to the committee on
public health. The ordinance is an amend
nent to the milk ordinance, and makes ii
| possible for the department of health to
prosecute dealers for selling the pepsin but
ter which is deficient in food material. For
a sale OF this kind of butter, a good deal
of which Is on the stands of the farmers
at market, a fine of SIS Is possible.
Messrs. Ben Irwin. Frank Irwin and Rob-
ert" Terry very respectfully petitioned the
Council for permission to give "a ten-dollar
circus for ten cents" In this city. from
April % to May l. Ii is said that the petit
toners are residents of the city and the
horrible history is recorded that Mr.. So-and-
so, not a resident, was auowed the privilege
n few years ago. The petition closes. Please
accept invitation TO councilmen and families
to our show" The petition was referred TO
the committee on finance, although Coun-
Gilman Woody suggested IL 90 TO the COM
mittee on contracts and franchises.
