s. Property owners are divided
in opinion dg 20 how the street should
be graded. Especially are those living
on the south side solicitous in the mat
ter They claim that If che street Is
left in its shape and paved that during
a time of ice and sleet that the back
end Of a vehicle will insist In getting
around In front of the horses Not
only that, but they claim that they
cannot easily get to and from their
places of abode, together with a long
train Of grievances. Therefore, they
desire that there be a double driveway
over that certain section Of the street
which. in their opinion, would prove
a nuisance to them.
On the other hand, other property
owners claim that a double driveway
would materially injurc them, and that
is what took the commission in body
20 the scene of war. The commission
will likely give forth its views In the
matter at an early meeting so that
whatever is to be done may be done
at once
The building of a double driveway
will entail some little expense, one
of the thoroughfares would he con-
sidcrably higher than the other and

was talk of paving in that vicinity, but

WILL NOT BOARD
I SHIPS AFTER DARK

On account of the prevalence Of
plague, smallpox and other dangerous
diseases in the Orient and Australia,
the mandate has today gone forth that
the Federal health officers will here
after refuse to board any vessels from
the Orient or Australia after sunset.
The experience with the Makura,
with smallpox case, coming the other
day from Sydney, and with the Asia
coming last evening which got in after
dark from the Orient, have determined
the doctors not to do any more exam
Iination after dark.
If a vessel from the Orient or Aus
tralia gets off port too late to be tho
roughly examined and passed before
sunset, she will have to remain out
isde the harbor until the following
morning.
