Resolutions Adopted.
Dr. Kirby, chairman of the committee on
sanitation, told of several matters acted
upon by his committee and then offered the
following resolutions, to the effect that
Many of the stores of this CITY require
their clerks to stand during business hours
from s am. to 6 pm, and SATURDAY. a
longer time and do not provide means for
them to sit down, except for a short period
of thirty minutes for lunch and as this
Is exceedingly burdensome and greatly i'm
pairs the health of their employees espe-
cially of their salesladies causing them
much suffering. loss of time, loss of salary
and expenditure of money; and as this js
in direct violation of municipal ordinance,
requiring that they, the merchants. pro-
vide stools or chairs or places for em-
ployes to sit during the interim Of their
making sales; therefore, it Is the sense of
this association that the authorities should
look into the matter and cause such pro-
vision to be made as the regulation re-
quires, that they. the employees may be re-
lieved of much suffering; that they NAV
have more comfort and better physical
and mental conditions"
Mr.. Holstein seconded the resolution. Dr.
Kirby said he was now treating clerks who
are suffering from being too long on their
feet He thought that the employees would
be benefited by the merchants providing
seats for them. He said he had visited sew
erai large stores and found that seats had
not peen provided there for the clerks
Mr.. Rose said he had seen by the papers
that the police had the matter under con-
| sideratfon DR.. Kirby said he knew of the
police investigation, but said that nothing
was done. The resolution was adopted and

The " ork on the Sewer System.

When the contractors stopped work
on the sanitary sewer system yesterday,
the line on Castle street had been laid
from the river to Sixth street and all
the and latteralS had been
put in. The main had been laid on
Front street from Castle to Church
street and a man hole constructed at
Front and Church streets. The a
ton has been completed for the main
on Fourth street between Castle and
Church streets.
AS a precautionary measure, Colonel
J. Z. Lewis, of the Sewerage Company,
notified Captain E. G.. Parmele, the
superintendent, to officially notify in
writing the chief of the fire department
and the chief of police what streets are
in any way INSTRUCTED by the sewer
work. This will be done every evening
while the work continues.
The officers of the company, in order
to make the inconvenience to the public
still less. gave Instructions yesterday
for flying bridges" to be placed owe
such excavations as may be open at
the intersection of the streets. These
Movable bridges are strong enough for
all kinds of vehicles, even the fire en-
gines, so that there will not be the
slightest impeachment to travel in any
part Of the city in which the sewer
mains are being laid.
