STREET BOARD
DISCUSSES DUST
Railway Companies Must
Sprinkle Streets Within
"A Hours

James J. Monaghan. of Delaware ave-
nue.. petitioncd the Street and Sewer De
partment at It's meeting to-day to take
steps TO keep the dust down. In his com
munication Mr. Monaghan suggested
that the department stop the cars from
running so rapidly in the avenue or see
that the thoroughfare is sprinked. Mr..
Fahey took hold Of the matter at once
and seemed annoyed that the sprinklng
had not been done and moved that the
amendment to the city ordinance receive
its third reading The resolution pre-
vents cars from running faster than six
miles an hour.
The sprinkling question again was
taken up and Mr. Hayes told Mr.. Fahey
that IL was hut "a week ago that the
Water Department gave the railway
companies rates on water necessary for
sprinkling and that the rates were too
high. Mr.. Hayes further said that the
dust was caused 10y the groove rail.
Mr. Fahcy moved that the railway
companies should proceed To sprinkle
within the next twcniy-four hours or be
dealt with by law. The motion was car
red.
As the present plans OF the proposed
South Wilmington trolley lines are inn
practicable NIr. Wiley was instructed to
change the plans and submit the matter
to the board at is next regular meeting.
