AN OBNOXIOUS ORDINANCE.
Merchants Association Goes to the
Aid of the TeamsterS.

Several times recently the police have
arrested teamsters for violating city or
dinance which forbids driving along btu
minized streets, other than Market, with
the wheels of the vehicle on one side run
ming in the car tracks and the wheels on
the other side running on the bitumen- A
year ago the directors of the Merchants
Association made an investigation of the
effect of this law and arrived at the con-
clusion that ii worked an unnecessary
hardship upon the teamsters, in fact, that
il could not be complied with. As soon
as the merchants found the condition IN
which the drivers were placed they sent
TO the Street Committee of the super
visors a communication requesting that
the ordinance be amended. The obnoxious
feature of the law was set forth IN lhat
communication as follows:
We were informed by the draymen that while
they favored the intent of the ordinance and
would gladly cooperate in any movement which
would preserve the streets, yet they informed
it completely except on Market street, for the
reason that on account of the width OF the
trucks 1t is Impossible to drive trucks on any
street except Market outside of the outer rail-
without striking vehicles which might tempo
rarily be standing along the side Of the street
near the curb and that they could not drive
trucks with wheel between the two rails.
as that would compel one of the horses to walk
on the rail, upon which it could not secure
foothoId.
1t was supposed by the directors of the
association that a just amendment had
been made, but the recent arrests and an
inquiry into the matter shows that the
Objectionable law is still in force. At the
meeting of the directors of the body yes
terGaY the secretary was directed to call
the attention of the Supervisors to the let
ter of last year and ask that the or
dinance be so amended that it can be com
piled with.

clared in the cases cited. The decree

three sets of instruments employed in the
tests of the past three days was TO show
the Government board that there is a
practical utility in the system which
would be of inestimable value to naval
vessels during evolutions of any kind, and
especially when on scouting duty. The
members of the Government board will
be obliged to call attention to the fact
that during these tests it was possible
for amy instrument located within their
circumscribed radius of transmission to
destroy the effectiveness of other instru-
ments ut any time. While the Massachu-
sets. for instance. was telegraphing to
the New York, the operator at Navesink
sent a message at the same time and the
result on the receiving side of the New
York's set, was mass of unreadable
characters caused by the two series of
electrical impulses reaching the instru-
ment at the same time. Mr.. Marconi
said that he could prevent this interfer-
ence on the part of third station, but
that he would not demonstrate during
these tests, because he had not yet receiv-
ed his patents for that feature.
