 When J. I. Hood arose at the meet | ing of the Chamber of Commerce | last night to read the report of the | committee on streets and roads the | members of that busy body squared themselves for something importap', and they were not disappointed. B. sef as 1t was, the report carried vi n ,r suggestions which will certainly start something. Many of them ar . bo,,,d to be put in effect, as the ( ,,, Coun- Gil is known to be consiS a-sn, some of these measures alreat

Brophy has stated that MT. Do' 4sias will be glad to help. The comm 1ttee suggests that the proposed con >rete wall be extended along the 1 f.hl length of Railroad avenue. and [ that a walk for pedestrians be built
 to project over or beyond the street,
 thus lessening the risk of personal
 injury to pedestrians.
 Probably the City Council will not
 at once be asked to take up the mat
 ter of sprinkling the three streets ln
 contemplation for this service. Chair
 n.an Hood reported on this point yer
 bally as an afterJhought and said that
 he could not include it regularly as
 Messrs. A. T. Sowle. J. w. Hogan, J : D. Blair and E. E. Mason, the remain , ing members of the committee, nave . not discussed the point. He was sure n of some objection on the part of some . I;xpayers, but he was equally certain
 that since Railroad avenue was the . o1 ly avenue of entrance to the city, Il . was no more than right that the tax l, pSyers should keep the street as dust e less as possible as far as the corpor II ate limits extend. MT. Hood did not an d ticipate any objection to the measure e insofar ss Brewery Gulch and Mail . streets are concerned. He said II e support of other features of the writ n ~ report that it was no more thai e right that the paved portions Of thi . city should be vigorously swept n least once a day and that in no clt! n were any signboards allowed to eS
 tend over the sidewalk, as it is bot
 dangerous and unsightly for them |
 do so. The report was adopted and tn n recommendations it includes Will D pI esented to the City Council Tn tn \ proper form.
