CITY'S HOUSE CLEANING
MAYOR BOOKWALTER SAYS $4,000
WILL BE EXPENDED IN WORK.
Every Improved Street I'm IndianapO-
lis VIII BE Thoroughly Cleaned
Municipal Affairs.

Mayor Bookwalter says that 5000 will
be spent within the next week in cleaning
thoroughly every improved street in the
city. 1t may cost more than that, accord
ing to preliminary estimates made in the
office of the Board OF Works, but the mayor
believes that the thoroughfares may be
restored to satisfactory condition and ap-
pearance for the sum named.
The work of scrubbing and sweeping
was commenced yesterday. Forty wagons
and one hundred men were put to work,
and it is the purpose to keep all the wagons
and all the men until the task is satisfac-
torily accomplished. Every improved street
within a radius of four squares from an
engine house will be flushed until the &C
cumulated black filth is washed away. The
streets within the mile square will be
cleaned, the mayor says, until they are as
neat as a pin and in condition to which
no one can object. All other improved
streets will be swept and the dirt re-
moved.
Numerous complaints have been made at
the office of the Board of Works concern
ing the nasty condition of the streets, but
the city officials declared that it would be
impossible to attempt a general cleaning
up until the weather became in a measure
settled. The city would have been put to
useless expense, they said if ii had been
attempted to remove the dirt before the
present time.

Citizens of the South Side VIII APP
pear Before the Board.

The South Side citizens who are opposed
to the Indianapolis Southern Railroad en-
tering the city by the Pogues run route
will make their last stand this morning
before the Board of Public Works. Father
Gavisk, of St. Johns Church, who led the
fight against the Southern, John Shea,
James Reach, Thomas Harold and other
citizens Of the South Side who compose the
remonstrance committee appointed by the
''Kickers" will appear before the board this
morning at 10 o'clock and endeavor once
more TO show that the route granted is
dangerous TO the citizens of the South Side
in that, they say, it will establish more
grade crossings and will injure the value of
real estate. 1t is probable that Evans Wool
len will speak for the South Side citizens
as he represented them at the former hear
ing.
I'VE have never fought the Southern on
any point" said Father Gavisk last night
with the exception of the route | sup

great deal of interest has centered
about the future of the Evansville & Terre
Haute road. This is demonstrated in
comparison of its stock quotations since
Jan l, when the common stock sold at 81
and is now selling at 50: the preferred at

due to desire on the part of the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois road to secure control Of
the property. The main line of the Evans
vile & Terre Haute is the connecting link
between the Louisville & Nashville and
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, from which
the former road obtains by direct route
an entrance into Chicago. on the other
hand, the Evansville & Indianapolis is
more roundabout. which route between Ev-
ansville and Terre Haute, through a con-
Meeting link from Saline City TO Brazil,
forms a southern continuation. as it were
of the eastern line of the Chicago d East
ern Illinois which goes north to La Crosse
IL will thus be readily seen that the Evans

BILE to the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. That

Yesterdays Annual Meetings.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Pennsylvania Railroad was held
yesterday. The approval of the annual re-
port and the adoption of a resolution in
creasing the appropriation for the pension
fund from $3.50 600 to 100000 comprised the
principal business for the session. a reso-
luton was adopted authorizing the APP
pointment of a committee of seven share
holders to select board of directors to be
voted for at the annual election on March
%. First vice president John p. Greene
addressed the meeting concerning the
plans of the committee. He said the ex-
penditure of $25, 100000 for equipment was
necessary, as the increasing business of
the corporation required additional rolling
stock. Arrangements have been made, he
said, TO use this money TO the best advant-
age. Speaking of the New York terminal
Captain Greene said the company should
not stay on the wrong side of New York
city, when it can enter the heart of the
metropolis. All obstacles having been
overcome the committee will proceed with
the work of tunneling under North river.

Military Pool i'm Danger.

Notice was given by the Rock Island yes
terday of withdrawal from the east and
west-bound military agreement and the
dissolution of the pool probably will follow.
The notice was given after a consultation
between the officials of the company. and,
although they refused to give any reason
for the action, IL was said TO have been
taken on account of the determination of
the government to compel the railroads to
obey the law Heretofore only the freight
departments of the roads have abandoned
the pool agreements and the Rock Island s
notice is the first move on the part of the
other departments. The Rock Islands ac-
tiOn may nave some effect upon tO-mor-
rows meeting i'm st. Louis, which will be
held with a view to organizing the South
western Passenger Associa tion. 1t is eX-
peCted the dissolution of the military agree
ment will be followed by similar action
with reference to the immigrant bureau and

Interurban Companies VIII Not BE

In discussing the attitude OF the Board of
Works toward the position of the Interur-
ban Terminal Company Mr. Logsdon of the
board, said yesterday:
1T has been stated that the board intends
TO compel the interurban companies to make
individual contracts with the city before il
Will consent TO consider the franchise re-
quest of the Terminal company. That is a
mistake and | desire the part of the
board to correct the impression that NAV
exist. The board is here to do business
and If these companies desire individually
to make contracts with the city we will be
glad to take up their requests. We will
not force them to anything. The board In
tends to take plenty of time to consider
the franchise request, and it will be in
vestigated quite apart from company con-
tracts"
