TREES on FRANKFORT STREET.
Plan of the Engineer Department to
Save Oaks.

The Street Committee OF the Northeast
Suburban Citizens Association has ad-
dressed the Commissioners requesting that
the grove OF trees on Frankfort Street,
between Twentieth Street and Queen Chap
ell Road be not disturbed in grading the
street The Commissioners are also re-
quested to construct a circle at Twentieth
and Frankfort Streets and that the street
be opened to the school house in Langdon.
The committee informs the Commission
ers that the contractor is cutting right
up 10 the trees. and ii appears to them
that the intention is to destroy them.
The people of Langdon are opposed to this
because the trees in question are old land
marks and are much priced by them. 1t
is also said that the trees add ye.y much
TO the appearance of the school grounds.
Morris Hacker, OF the Engineer Depart
ment in reporting upon the request, says
that circle at the point referred to Is
not embodied in the plan of street extern
SIGN. He suggests a new alignment for
the street which would save the trees,
but states that. in his opinion. the diver
gence from straight lines for Frankfort
Street is not the best, end he recommends
that by slight divergence Of the lines
two of the trees could be saved and would
require the removal OF two OF them. The
latter plan he recommends and asks the
Commissioners so TO inform the Citizens
Assoc ton.

SEVENTH STREET HACK STAND.
Number of Teams Stationed There
to Be Limited tG Eight.

Lieut. j. A. Moore recently submitted a
report to the Superintendent of Police rela-
tive to the hack stand at the intersection
of Seventh Street and Louisiana Avenue
northwest.
81 beg to invite your attention, says
the lieutenant, "to the necessity of limit
ing the number OF hacks to be allowed to
stand at Seventh Street and Louisiana
Avenue northwest Formerly this stand
accommodated some twenty one and two
horse vehicles. but since the public plot
at the junction has been improved by
converting it into q park the space has
been reduced. so that not more than eight
teams can be permitted to stand there.
ION the north side OF the circle east
OF the east building line of Seventh Street
there has been provided, by paving with
vitrified bricks space for eight hacks;
these to be parked. and in my opinion
this should be all to be allowed to stand
at this corner"
In transmitting the report of Lieutenant
Moore TO the Commissioners, the Superin-
tendent concurs IN the recommendation,
an dit is understood that the matter Will
be so decided

TRADES COMMITTEES CONFER.
Prospects Favorable to Settlement
of Differences.

After the meeting of the committee in
terested in bringing about a settlement of
the differences between the local building
trades adjourned last night 1t was stated
that the prospect Of harmonizing the op-
posing factions is more favorable than at
any time since their disagreement last
March. When the committee met last
week to hear the reports of the repre-
sentatives of the two factions. it devel-
oped that there was one article in the
proposed terms of settlement upon which
they failed to agree. The question in dis
pute was referred TO the two factions at
their weekly meetings on last Tuesday
night. and it is stated that the matter was
satisfactorily disposed OF by both I'm
fortunately. it is reported that differ
ence has arisen over another one OF the
proposed terms of settlement. II was
stated. however, that the point now in
dispute IS of no material Importance and
it is believed that one or the other of the
factions will yield rather than continue
the division of the local building trades.

COMPLAINT OF A HICKMAN.

w f. Thomas yesterday addressed a

night after night, violate the rules By
standing in front of ciubhouses and houses
in the tenderloin waiting for customers.
There was a time when a cab driver
could make an honest living. and good
one, for his family before this practice OF
staying in front OF places, as persons who
desired 4 conveyance Of any kind knew
where the stands were and would go there
to look for them practice which gave
all cab drivers an opportunity to make
something.
"Since the practice which I have describ-
ed has been in vogue, :ontrary to the hack
regulations II is a ve.y rare thing to see
any one come to the stands for a convey
ance simply because if one only steps
out Of doors anywhere in the tenderloin
any time after dark as many as dozen
carriages can be found standing, contrary
to the laws and to the detriment OF the
cab drivers who live up to the rules and
stand on the places designated for that
purpose.
