 in case of disagreement this commit tee to call in an arbitrator.
 This plan was received with unan-i imous favor by the New Iondon all dermen and will be submitted to city meeting for approval and then present. ed to the legislature for final action. It is provided, however, that no action will be taken that will interfere In any way with the present lessses of the ferry until the expiration af the lease in 1917. This action will give the ent company ample notice that there is to be no renewal of the lease for a long or short period, and spare the ex- penditure of cash in the matter Of float and boat repairs and other incl- dentals If this measure receives leg islative sanction the present company will be protected from Infringement upon the present rates of ferriage or general management of the ferry for the next seven years, and It IS there fore up to the company to make the lease pay to the best advantage during that period.
 The police have received orders to keep sidewalks clear of Instructions, such as portable signs, boxes, barrels and curbstone and corner -lofterers, which have served as a nuisance for years, and the wonder is that there has not been police preventive before. During the winter months there is not such fragrant violation of city ordf- nance in this respect as in the summer season, but it is bad enough at any time. There are places in Bank street especially where goods of various de- scription are sold from stands in front of the stores,., instead of in the stores, as is the custom for dry goods shoe and jowelry stores. Invariably this sidewalk trade is carried on where the walks are the narrodWest, and as a re- suit people have to walk single file past these places in one of the busiest streets of the city. The police have al- ready notified the offenders in the trade line that the custom must be dis continued forthwith, and there is gen. era1 compliance with the order.
 The greater part of the work has been done by the day force, and now the night policemen are getting after the human obstacles that gather on the cuEbstones, on corners and in door ways. There is a small army of these offenders, ever changing in member ship, and the police will have difficulty in serving notice on each individual offender. There was time when po- lice orders of this nature were given out in public print and offenders noti- fled that they must obey or take the consequences, which meant arrest and prosecution. and the police court judge did the rest.
