Chairman Washburn of the Joint Stand
ing Committee on Ordinances, made an i'm
portant announcement today to TRIBUNE
reporter. The committee on ordinances
held good many protracted sittings late
Iy and the result of their work will be OF
much benefit to the citizens of the city at
large. At the next meeting of the Board
of Aldermen and Common Council the
committee will introduce some very press
ing and important amendments to the
city ordinances, w hich, when read d,will meet
the full appreciation of about every one IN
the city. 1t is proposed to amend Chapter
10 OF the ordinances in regard to the exces-
sive use of drums, horns and other instru-
ments on the streets. Another ordinance
which will be introduced will be one for
the regulation OF brown bread peddlers.
Some little time ago the members OF the
Broad Street Baptist church petitioned the
Board of Aldermen for relief from the
drum corps nuisance which disturbed
them almost nightly while at their re-
lipious deyotions. The Broad street church
people are not the only ones who have
become 'disgusted at this nuisance, :and
the members of both brances have received
many personal protests against this
practice.
1t is proposed to annul this chapter SO
that the Board OF Aldermen will have full
power to regulate the matter. No musical
organizations will be allowed to parade
through the streets, playing their instru-
ments, except at funerals, unless the
permit Is first granted by the Board of
Aldermen. This undoubtedly will put an
end to the nightly nuisance to which the
public has been treated for many years.
Another nuisance which the committee
proposes to abate Is the shouting of
ssbrown bread to sell' on Sunday morn
ings. The city, In the past and at the
present time, too, is overrun Sunday
mornings by vendors Of this article, who
make 1t unbearable for all classes Of citi-
zens. great many protests have reached
the police department, but, under the cir
-4eumstances, they have been powerless to
stop it, as there has been no ordinance in
existence forbidding 1t.
Another ordinance which is to be in
troduced at the same time will be one
regulating lunch carts. At the last meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen the matter
of granting licenses to lunch carts came
up for consideration, and it was thought
better to lay the applications on the table
until an ordinance could be drafted con-
trolling them and fixing a regular tax
upon them. The new ordinance will
fix the license fee at s25, and, furthermore,
the applicant will be obliged to give a
sufficient bond to indemnify the city
against any suit that might arise from
accidents occurring while the teams stand
horseless on the public highways.
Monument For jerks Park.
Some years ago through the efforts of
Ballou Post, G. A. r., handsome soldiers
monument was erected by the city, and
for want of better place at that time, it
was located in Moshassuck Cemetery.
Since then the city has come into posses
sion OF one of the handsomest parks in the
country, and it has been suggested that
the proper place for the monument would
be in jerks Park. The monument itself Is
a particularly clever design. A quiet agi-
tation is going on for its removal to jerks |
Park.
Open without License. |
A warrant was made out against Thomas |
Moore who conducts II variety shop at the |
corner of Cowden and Washington streets. |
for keeping his shop open without having |
victualling house license. The principal |
complainant against him is his landlord.

much as he did not know whether or not
Moore had a license. The city clerk had
mot notified him of the licenses granted.
As it was Sunday the Chief could not get
the desired information, so the matter was
allowed to rest until today.
