STUART MOVES MEMORIAL.
Date Proposed by Commissioner
Macfarland Likely to Be Adopt
ed by His Associates.

Following suggestions of the citizens
committee of the Crosby Stuart Moves
memorial Commissioner Macfarland has
moved before the board of Commission
ers that they announce that it is agreeable
to them to have the ceremony of the un-
yelling and presentation Of the bust of
the late Crosby S. Noyes in the new Dis
trict building at 10 o'clock February 25.
1t is probable that the motion will receive
the approval Of the other Commissioners.
Star will stand at the left of the main
staircase opposite the front entrance of
the marble structure. The program for
the ceremonies has not yet been fully
arranged.
The time for holding the ceremonies of
unveiling was suggested to the District
Commissioners in a letter written by Cuno
II. Rudolph. secretary of the citizens
committee of the Crosby Stuart Moves
memorial. The letter says:
Il have the honor on behalf of the cit
izens' committee of the Crosby Stuart
Noyes memorial to state that the bust Of
Mr.. Crosby 8. Noyes and the pedestal will
be in place on the site appointed I'm the
District building and approved by the

siOnerS on the 25th of February instant.
and suggest that if it is agreeable to the
Commissioners the ceremony of the un-
yelling and presentation take place at
IL o'clock on that day."

NOT TO LIGHT GAS LAMPS.
Autoists Asked to Discard Acetylene
During Inauguration.

The District Commissioners have de-
cided to request owners of automobiles
not to use "blinding scetylene headlights
on automobiles on the downtown city
streets during the inaugural period.
A suggestion to that effect was made to
the chief OF police by e. ]. StellwaGen.
chairman of the inaugural committee.
1T has occurred to me-" Chairman
StellWagen says. that at such a time as
March 4. when the city will be. as we
hope, tremendously crowded. that reg
ulation prohibiting the burning Of these
binding acetylene headlights on automo-
biles should be prohibited. These things
do we'll enough q dark country road.

or three blocks to any one who happens
to be approaching from the opposite
direction. and If we get hundreds of them
on our streets when they are congested.
as they surely will be on the nights of the
Sd 4th and 5th of March, many accidents,
fear, will result
Reporting on this matter Maj. Sylves-
ter said to the Commissioners that "there
is no law or regulation whereby these
lights could be diminished, but the Com
missioners. in their good Judgment may
deem 1T proper to request those using
these extensive, and all times excessive
lights to abstain from their use on the
nights of the illumination of Pennsyi-
