that the city is entitled to recognition the

Since the collision between train on the Lacka-

at that crossing. This apparatus may he arranged
in several different ways. The form illustrated In

FISH MARKET UNDER BRIDGE ARCHES
Plan to Rid East Side Streets of Disease
Breeding Ofal and Smells.

The new fish market under the WILLIAMSBURG
Bridge according to Street Cleaning CoHmls-
sioner Woodbury.. will. before many weeks be IN
full operation.
For years the territory north Of Canal-st. ana
east of the Bowery, has been infested with push
carts and stands that sold fish, and every night
the street sweepers were confronted with piles OF
decayed fish These too. especially in the sum
ner, caused foul odorsf which the Health Board
decided were agents OF disease
After several conferences between Commissioner
Woodbury. and Dr. Lederle, it decided that
the arches under the Williamsburg Bridge
on the Manhattan side could be utilized for
fish market Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal con-
sented to the plan
This will take all the fish dealers away from
the East Side congested streets. and relieve the
Street Cleaning Department of the task of clean
ing these streets of the offaf.
According to Mr.. Woodbury., there will be room
for hundred and fifty fish stands and cares un-
der the bridge arches and the city will deriVe
a revenue from those who desire a stand there
Just what the city will charge leSSees of stands
has not been determined on. Applications for the
stands will have to be made TO the Street Clean
ing Department, and the allotments may be made
by drawing. The tenement house dwellers will be
obliged to travel some distance to purchase their
fish instead OF finding it at their doors. here

if they fail it is predicted here that the most ruin
price which has occurred will be a
certainty.
1t has been estimated by those In a position to
know that there now in the hands of manu-
facturers about two million boxes of glass. onehalf
of which are in the warehouses of the American
Window Glass Company.

All agreements between manufacturers and job
bers are now off and an open market with much
lower prices will be the next thing in order i'll
the window glass industry. That this will result in
eliminating all profit from the business is dead
certainty, and those who continue to operate their
plants certain to do out of the profits
ing up to the present time. Regardless of what
others may do it is the intention of the American
Window Glass Company to put the fires out of all
except their machine equipped plant at early
date, probably March IA. and thereafter paddle
their own canoe. The machines will be introduced
their various factories as rapidly as possible and
it is expected that when the time for starting fac
tories in the fall arrives this company will have
several machine equipped plants in blast making
glass from 40 to 50 cent cheaper than II Is pOss
Bile to make 1t by the old method.
