of the cutters at the -Four Corners, as
1t was claimed that since the enforce
ment of the splitting ordinance by the
] Board of Health, the men who congre-
gate at the corners now expectorate in
the cutters, and that the cutters should
be flushed once a week to prevent a
spread of disease.
Commissioner Eggers said he had
been asked by the policemen at the
-Four Corners to widen the crosswaik
on the east side of Market street
on account of the large number of peo-
pie who cross there during the rusn
hours, when the cars are held up every
| few minutes. The request was referred
to the street department. The same
kcommissioner also called attention to
1.-THE poor trolley service on the Market,
Hank and Warren street line, especial
lily the cars that come from the Oranges
yearly in the morning, which are SO
