The Bill Posters Union has announced that
1t Is going to reorganize that 1t may demand
DotUeT WhR0b when the ulcHtrlCul season opens.
The demand is to BIO made on the ground that
bill posting is now an art and that not every
man who swings a good paste brush is a good
bill poster. The magical way in which all
| empty barrels, boxes, and unclaimed fences are
covered with posters at night frequently has
excited the admiration of spectators who disap.

bill poster due credit. For tho last two years
the relations Of the bill posters and tho theatre

A large number of bicyclists in New York
would probably DO perfectly willing to pay a
yearly tax Of 81 II they were satisfied that the
money would DO spent In improving the city
streets. If the question as to which of the
streets should be selected for improvement
were put to a vote, there is very little ground
for doubling that the street-car tracks
across Seventy-second street at the Boule,
ward would be first chosen. The tracks
Of the street railroad here are really in an
