pending before the Street Committee.
Commenting on the project Super
intendent Cohn says:
The question of tunneling Broad
street at the point where II crosses
Fifteenth street is before the City
Council ct the present time, and /
most respectfully and earnestly urge
that the Improvement be made. Great
good will result to the public at large

blocks out Of the way. by the way Of
Seventeenth street and with chance
Of being hel dup at the crossing Of
the 6eaboard Air Line Railway. The
incident of cArfA waiting for tbs pass
ting OF trains occurs very frequently
and causes considerable loss OF time.

his company is well prepared for any
trouble there might come ia the coal
trade. There were 5000 tons of coal
in storage at the electric light aud gas
plants. sufficient he thought to meet
any ordinary emergency. The storage
has been going on since February.
There has been a discoutinuanee in
the shipment OF steam coal for awhile,
owing to low stocks. The coal COM
panies have prepared storage by load
ing up all the ships at their command
and that will be available at the open
ing Of the lake season. Prices have
not been reduced in fact some of the
stocks were bought at increased prices,
but the utilities company was deter
mined to be ready to meet such con-
tingencies which might arise.
