plants West Side Ave.
SeWer--Conyery Place.

With the final passage of the muf-
fler ordinance, which was given its
first reading last night at the ses-
sion of the Board of Aldermen, 1t
will be unlawful for any motor pro-
peller vehicle or boat to travel over
the thoroughfares of this city, or ply
In the waters controlled by this port,
without a muffler attached to the
said motor; also it will be unlawful
for said vehicle or motor propelled
craft to run with its "cut out" or
shut off" open, under penalty of
SO fine or thirty days In jail for each
and every offense.
- Although the introduction of the
ordinance last night had not been
predicted, 1t did not come as q sur
prise to close followers of the city
fathers affairs, as many complaints
have been registered, orally and
otherwise, against those who run up
and down the principal streets with
their auto mufflers barking like
dogs, or else plying in the waters of
the sound late at night with the
boats "cut out" open. The prac-
tice was regulated for a time by the
traffic ordinance, but as the viola
tions have become 80 frequent of
late, another and more express ordi-
nance was deemed advisable.
In the ordinance introduced last
night special mention is made of
automobiles, motor cycles, motor
boats, launches, and "all other motor
propelled vehicles or crafts" The
maximum penalty, as mentioned, Is
ri dav IN ho ntty
jail to be fixed by the city recor-
de42 1t will be necessary for the
ordinance to come up on second and
third reading at the next council
meeting, be amended at that time
II any amendments are desired, and
await the approval of Mayor Albert
Bollschweiler. Following the may
or's approval it will be advertised
for ten days and then become a law.
Relieve West Side Avenue.
President Justus Kaletsch, Of the
Board OF Health, forwarded a COM
munication and a copy of a resolu-
tion adopted by the board at It's
last meeting. 1t requested the
Board of Aldermen to authorize the
laying of a sewer in West Side ave-
nue., north of Hall avenue to Eagle
avenue. Later in the meeting the
committee on streets and sewers
recommended the laying of said
sewer and the recommendation was
adopted. West side avenue residents
claim that section of the city is very
unsanitary as a result of the alb
sence of a sewer and drain on that
thoroughfare.
