NINTH WARD CITIZENS
WANT BETTER STREETS
Mass Meeting Held-Com.
mittee Appointed to Go
Before Directors

There was a mass meeting held last
night by citizens of the lower portion
of the Ninth ward in the Independence
Fire Company's building. It was called
to discuss the condition of affairs in
that ward. A committee consisting Of
John Herbert, Enoch Dutton, william
Fuhr, Louis Denn and w. S. Smith.
was appointed to present the griev-
ances of the citizens of that portion of
the city to the Street and Sewer Com
mission at the meeting on Tuesday
next.
The committee will aver that as the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
made that point their stopping place for
all freight trains, they are bothered
with more tramps and suspicious char
acters than ever and that the tramp
nuisance in the west yard i'm the past
was nothing compared TO what they
have to contend with at present. All
the freight trains change their crews
over there now instead of at Phila-
delphia, which is responsible for the
many strange and undesirable people
dropped in that locality with every
train. It has become such n nuisance
that the women do not feel safe to
leave their homes at night, and the
men are constantly on their guard
while travelling the dark streets.
They will demand at least nineteen
arc lights and a general overhauling of
their streets.
Among those present at the meeting
last evening was n representative of B.
Frank Wagamon & Co, who are build
! ing hundreds Of houses I'm their ward.

About 300 feet of the new boardwalk
was washed away and other portions OF
the walk were damaged. A proposition
may be made to raise the entire board
walk several feet, by constructing it on
pilngs, so that 1t will be immune from

should be agreed on it would be necessary
ito elevate the entire promenade, or else
to connect the walk standing at present
