By this order, Mayor McCaskrin des-

will be permitted. These are Seven

and Forty-fourth street. Coasters will
not be allowed on any other hills and
any found using other hills will be ar
rested. Another precaution is that ev-

front of the steerer, where 1t can be
plainly seen from lower down the hill.
Mark Dangerous Avenues.
In addition to making the coasters
carry red lights on their sleds, lights
will be placed at the more dangerous
of the crossings over which the sleds
cross. These crossings which are TO
be so marked are Eleventh avenue,
on the Seventeenth street hill; Ninth
avenue, on the Twenty-second street
hill, and Seventh avenue, On the Forty
fourth street hill. Street car crews
will be warned to take precautions
towards the safety of the coasters at
the points where the tracks cross the
streets on which coasting is allowed
and it is hop d that these precautions
will elimip' ce any further trouble re-
