LAR MEETING AT ToDAY's sEs-
SION.
At this mornings meeting or the
Street and Sewer Department the ordi-
nance fixing localities where teamstersI
and expressmen were allowd to stand
with their wagons was revoked by the
directors.
Formerly the expressmen and team
sters were permitted to stand in the
vicinity OF Fourth and French streets.
They were then removed to French
street between Second and Third
streets, and at a recent meeting Of the
Street and Sewer directors a measured
was introduced requiring teamsters toI
locate on Walnut street, betweenI
Fourth and Fifth streets.
This met with some objection by
property owners. and renters in that
vicinity, and to avoid further conten-
tion Mr.. Carter moved that the ordi-
nance setting forth localities be ubol-
lished. II was carried unanimously. AS
there is now no law specifying where
lteamstcrs may locate with their teams
they may now take up their stands att
any point in the city providing that
they do not obstruct the streets, that
property owners or renters in front of
whose properties they locate do not OBJ
ject and that drivers remain near their
vehicles.

where lights are most needed and act
upon them first. The increase Of arc
lights to 400 will cost about $4,000 a
year more, and as there are other i'm
lprovements that must be made this

extra lights.
