The city council chamber last night
was filled with lawyers, real estafe
men and properly holders--and the

The occasion was hearing In prop

In order to accommodate the traf-
fee anticipated when the new bridge
ia opened the city has intimated that
1t might widen Fifteenth street ny
forty feet. That means that much
property will have TO be acquired. The
property at Fifteenth and Main strest
was valued last night AT 81 600 per
front foot: that next door at $500.
Other property had not been mentions

ERNon APPOINTED.

LONDON, July 2S.--There Is the
greatest conflict Of statements In re-
gard to the sAuation at Adrianople.
1t waa ofIlciAlly announced at Con-
stAntinople today that the Turks had
entered the city and that Kirk Ktllesh
had also been occupied by the OF
toman troopa. The porte has even
appointed HALT Abhil Bey, former
minister Of the interior. AZ governor
and he has left for his new post.
On the other hand q dispatch from
Sofia says the report that the Turks
have reoccupied AdriAnople Is false.
It is said that the report was spread
by fugitive Bulgarian ofacers who ned
when they saw Enver Bey's cavalry
accommodating near tho city A. they
thought the entire Ottoman army was
eoing to attack the place. 1t 10 said
Adrianople has been restored and that
the BULGARIAN commander there re-
ports that the Turks retired after
making i reconnaissance. The fright
ened civil functiopAries installed at
Adrianople by the Bulgarians have
been ordered to return to their posts.
The dispatch from Sofia, however, was
filed the night before the entry of the
Turkish troops was announced.
There il no Information as to the
progress Of the negotiations for an
armistice at Nish. The Greeks al
lsge there has been bad faith on the
part of the Bulgarians and insist that
the latter shall sign the peace condi-
lions before hostilities are suspended.
Meantime, the Greeks and Servians
are making their way across the Bull
garian frontier.

ELECTRICIANS To
GET new ORDINANCE

At the request Of nearly a hundred
electricians the council committee on
ordinances last night agreed to amend
and improve the existing ordinance
so that the licensed electricians might
gain some benefit from the laws, and
the license fees which they have to
pay.
George r, Haw. Jr., representing
the electricians, clearly and forcibly,
stated that from his conception Of the
prevailing ordinances. the electricians
were not getting exactly what belong
ed to them.
He submitted several amendments
to the existing ordinances. which
were literally discussed by Messrs
Gunst. Haddon, Paul. Jones and
Welsh. and which were referred to by
city Electrician Speights, and at the
close OF the debate and discussion, the
committee felt that the electricians
should have better laws to protect
them. and they recommended that the
city attorney prepare an ordinance
embodying the suggestions made by
Mr.. Haw.
This ordinance la to be submitted to
the committee, and BIZ them sent on

PENSION FUND SUGGESTED ron
THOSE WHO HAVE WORN -.
THEMSELVES AWAY.

Councilman Mills spoke to the
finance committee last night on his
measure which provides for q pension
fund for old city employees This bill
was introduced by Mr.. Mills In the
last council. 1t met with much favor,
but before decisive action could b
made. the council went out Of COM
mission.
The bill provides for the placing
of a fund In the hands OF city oflcials,
to be named later for the aid OF de-
crepit workmen who have worn out
their lives In the service Of the city.
Mr.. Mills would provide a fund BY
which the old. Incapacitated. or IN
jured men. who have served IN the
service OF the city for given number
Of years, may be kept froa1 the poor
house. He would have . small per-
centase Of the wages and salaries OF
the city employees laid aside every
year, 40 that when q man. has reached
his allotted days. he may not have to
depend upon charity to take him
through to the rest Of his career.
Mr.. Mills last night, after making
a speech in favor Of the measure,
asked the finance committee to refer
the proposition to a subcommittee. 90
that every phase Of the situation might
be considered. The committee agreed
to accept the suggestion offered by
Mr. Mills subcommittee VIII be
named, and, II necessary. the legtsia-
ture will be asked to aid in the pro-
position.

street cleaning department, Ia In q
quandary. He attempted to explain
the situation to the finance commit
tee last night. He showed that the
city is in need of more dumps.
THE West End and the East End
are in pretty good shape" said Mr.
Cohn, but the central section OF the
city is in a bad way. We need more
space for dumps. would like the
committee to purchase the property
at the north end of Twelfth street. A
big ravine exists there. And that
would prove a most acceptable dump
The property, understand, can be
purchased for a thousand or more
dollars. I hope you gentlemen Will
take the matter under consideration
We need IT."
Chairman Grundy fntimated thai
the committee would take 1t under
consideration. and II Is likely that su-
perintendent Cohn will soon be able
to relieve the situation.
