COUNCIL MOVES
FOR STEEET SYSTEM

Action Taken in a Resolution Intro
duced in Select Council by Presi-
dent Fletcher-City Engineer Di-
rected to Make Rough Sketch Of
City Streets, Name Those Thor
oughfares Which Have None. and
Number Houses and Make Such
Change of Numbers as Is Neces-
sary-The Light Ordinance Again.
The first intelligent ana commendabc
move on the part of councils for a
system of streets. one cOmprehending
the naming of UNNAMED streets and
the numbering of un-numbered houses
was taken last night when the follow
ing resolution was introduced by
President Fletcher. who has been act
i've in behalf of this urgent need which
was adopted unanimously.
THAT the city engineer be. and is
hereby, authorized to prepare Il rough
sketch of the streets, avenues. alleys
ana courts of the city. and shall alliX
names to all such, which have no
names or where there is a confusion of
names. The city engineer is author
lied also. to assign numbers to all lln-
numbered houses and all which have
duplicate numbers or numbers which
are confusing.
The resolution has Yet 10 go through
common council and receive the may
or's approval before it can become cf-
fectivc. There is no fear or doubt Of
this as the disposition is to pass the
measure as speedily as possible. In
common council there is II resolution
for street Signs,so that thcr,
is nothing lacking to make the system
complete
This is Il resolution that The Tribune
has advocated and urged since last
May, and it feels considerable sntisfnc-
tion in recording the fact of the adop-
tion of the resolution.
Another commendable move of coun-
oil WAS the adoption of resolution
for the erection of new
storm doors in the postonice lobby.
The assuring part of this resolution is
that the doors will not bc of the
vicious kind of last year. which would
almost send a man into kingdom come

another person was coming out.
This resolution also provided for The
opening of the transoms Of the lobby,

CHANGES ON THE ERIE.
Train Crews Will Be Affected by the
Change in Handling of Coal.

Changes that are being contemplate
cd on the Erie railroad will affect four
engineers if they go into effect, as
seem certain now.
There has been Il lesseninG of the
coal shipping over the Jefferson branch
to such an extent that it was found
necessary to abolish one run. Tester-
day Superintendent Davis was waited
on in this city by IL committee OF en-
gincers and trainmen. and in the
course Of the talk he informed them
that the Erie company had virtually
decided to ship its coal for western
points over the Lehigh Valley. This
means the coal from the old Pennsyl-
vania Coal company's mines about
PittStOn and DunmOre. too. Will not be
hauled over the Delaware and Hudson
road to this city and thence over the
Jefferson division, but will be sent di-
rect over the Lehigh Valley to Buffalo
and the West This will give the eX-
ira engineers on this division almost
nothing to do, When the new order
OF things goes into effect there will be
need of only four extra engineers. This
will send three engineers now on The
extra list back to acting as tiremcn.
Whether or not they will accept this
alternative or seek another place of
employment is being considered If
they remain to do as firemen they will
have but few days during the month TO
he paid for at the end of each thirty
days. The men who will be effected
have been engineers fifteen years OF
more.

blanche Colvin. a small girl. broke
through the ice at the inlet. She sup
ported herself by placing her arms
over the ice until several of the lads
rescued her from her peril. Shortly
after this incident Patten started to
skate across the reservoir In doing so,
he choose Il route which carried him
across the inlet where the ice was very
thin. The skater was going at IL good
rate when the ice crushed beneath his
weight. AS he sank he gave Il loud
shrek and then went beneath the ice.
The momentum at which he was going
carried his body underneath the solid
ice surrounding the spot where he
broke through. His companions hur-
ried as close to the hole as they dare
go. but the body did not appear. They
gave the alarm. Poor Director John
McCahe was the first on the scene
Soon James Dalton. James O'Bpicn
Nicholas O'Brien and George Bootiack
arrived. A bridge was built across the
thin ice near where the lad went
through Graphing hooks were inn

Mayor Vetoes Light Ordinance.

Mayor Fitzpatrick sent in veto of
Lackawanna Valley company. This
is the measure that was passed after
1t was discovered that the earlier one
was not regular.
The veto. which is the second disap.
proval on the mayors part. was based
on alleged Irregularities as to its con-
sideration by committee, and that 1t
was not shown to have passed second
reading in either council.
In dealing with the veto IL was found
that the latter was an oversight on the
part of the city clerk. AS to the COM
mittee's treatment of the ordinance,
council believed that there was no ir-
regularity and the veto was rejected,
and the ordinance passed despite the
mayors objections. This was after
the Davis motion to lay 1t on the table
until the next regular meeting. MIR.
Barnett was the only one who voted
to sustain the mayor.
The following resolutions were
adopted: Transferring s609.30 from the
surface sewers fund to the streets and
bridges committee, This was to pro-
vide for tn" payment of the street en-
ploSeS: directing the laying of side
walks IN front Of the properties of G..
u. O'tonnor and owen Judge on
Washington street.
The communication from the Culum-
bia Hose company directing attention
to the scarcity of hose to fight fires
was given To the fire committee with
the suggestion that the closest attcn-
ton and investigation be given the
matter.
