The current issue of the Engineering

to the change in the Office of chief of
engineers of the United States army:
Colonel Marshall, the new chief of
engineers of the array, assumes his of
flee with the hearty good wishes of all
who are acquainted with the fairness
and ability he has shown in many re-
sponsible posts. At Chicago he was
sometimes compelled to make rulings
contrary to the desires of influential
parties, yet they were always willing
to admit that in safeguarding federal
interests he was not partisan for the
government, but just judge of all
claims. Since he has been in charge
of the improvement of New York har-
Dor he has won the good will of ship
ping circles by the vigor with which
great improvements have been execut-
led. His ability as an engineer and an
executive head have been so well dem

duty with a record of successful admin

The great works coming under his

BRYN MAWR IS KICKING
Residents Declare That Mo
tormen Do Not Stop
For Passengers.

Residents of Bryn Mawr, and par
ticularly those who reside along the
Seventy third street car line, are com
planning bitterly of the manner in
which certain motormen do not make
the stop in taking on passengers 1t
is becoming a daily occurrence, say
many of the citizens. and the disre-
gardlng of the peoples rights may lead
to the submission of a petition to the
street car company.
In the past fortnight motormen have
been reported for their failure to take
on passengers. In one of the com
munications sent to the officials it re-
suited in every single motorman, who
have runs over this line, being cues
toned. and in each instance they de-
MED of ever having been guilty Of the
charge.
Even when we have the opportunity
to enjoy the one fare to the city we
cannot be permitted. owing to the
negligence of q certain class of motor
men," said a restdentin discussing the
matter.
Since the adoption of the one fare to
the city there has been a decrease in
traffic over the Illinois Central from
Bryn Mawr to the downtown district.
The fare to the city over the steam
road is 10 cents from this suburb and
is the terminal station at the 10 cent
rate South Shore, in which vicinity
the South Shore Country club is To-
Gated, Is the beginning of the Is cent
fare and this place. as well as its sister
village, has fallen of in patronage.

PLEASURE BOATS HAVE

During Past Season Crafts Piled From
South Chicago To Manhattan
Beach and Jackson Park.

The managers of the many lake
steamers. running out of South Chicago,
report an exceptionally good business
during the season which is about to
close. While 1t is true that great
many more passengers could have been
handled, they can only attribute the de-
creased pleasure trips to the strin-
gency IN the money market and the
lack of work for many heads of fami-
lies

Marsh have been plying between South

Was the First Season.
In regard to the South Shore line
steamers this is the first season and at
the inception of the venture it was
predetermined as to the financial out
come. However, despite the many OBJ
stacles that have confronted the under
taking, the venture has proven beyond
the expectations of those interested.
Phil ]. Sommer, Ninety-second street
and Houston avenue, who is at the
head of the South Shore line, has con-
sidered the venture SO successful that
next season it is the intention to add
two more boats, both of which will be
larger than those now in the service
and that the service will be extended
to Hammond and Pullman. From his
observation and reports in general, Mr..
Sommer declared that their patrons
have been pleased with the service and
as unit all praise the manner in which
the numerous lake trips have been
made.
During the month of July over 5000
passengers were carried on the steam
ers. The moonlight excursions have
been a feature of the seasons lake
trips Owing to some extensive dredg-
ing at One Hundred and Twenty fourth
streets, the service beyond that point
has been discontinued for the season.
