APPROVE SUBWAY
PLAN FOR RELIEF
OF STREET TRAFFIC
Legislative Bill Given
Q. K. by City
Officials.
OTHER MEASURES GIVEN
MEDE OF PRAISE, TOO
These Provide for Trolley Ex-
tension, Underground Wires
and Other Improvements.

A step toward the relief of track
congestion in this city by the build
ing Of subways was taken at the
legislative conference of the munich
pal governing bodies in the Mayors
office today, when bill providing
for this improvement was given
hearty approval.
Equally important measures to be
introduced at the present session of
the Legislature include the burial of
all overhead wires, extension of troll
ley service. giving of terms and ad-
ditional appropriations to the City
Plan Commission ard a change of
venue in condemnation proceedings.
All contemplated action was ap-
proved.
City Counsel James II. Nugent ex-
planned the contents and purposes of
/ the various measures. Mayor Hauss-
ling presided at the gathering, which
will hereafter be a weekly occur
lrence. it having been decided to hold
meetings every Monday.
The subway bill allows the city to
build the subways at a cost of ST.
100000 and then rent them at a price
which the city counsel said would
take care of the sinking fund and
provide revenue to the city. The
rental would be for nifty years, with
an extension for the same period
with proper adjustment of the rental,
The conduit bill gives authority to
the city to expend 100000 a year for
| five years and 100000 year there
after in building conduits for wires
The conduits are to be rented. with
| the same advantage to the munich
pality as contained in the subway
measure.
Trolley Extension.
The trolley extension bin permits
| haIf-mile extensions to existing
routes without the sanction of abut-
ting property owners and the right
to compel such extension Action will
also be asked of the Legislature to
authorize the assessment on bene-
| fited property for street sprinkl.ng
and giving of terms of three years to
three members, two years to three
and one year to three of the nine
city plan commissioners. An appro-
priation of $25.00o a year for this COM
mission is also asked. The commits
sion may now expend but $4,000

Legislation will also be drafted COW
ering meadow reclamation and aboli-
tion Of grade crossings without ex-
pense to the municipality and doub-
ling the appropriation for band con-
certs, so that the work can be carried
on the year round. The band concert

TO WASH BLANKETS

You must never rub soap upon.
wool blankets and they must never
be put into water of different tenn
peratures.
Any of the white soaps are good
for washing wool blankets. Cut up
two bars, of soap and boil them in
eight quarts of water When it is
all dissolved turn four quarts into
a tub half full of tepid water, with
a half cupful of ammonia added.
Put your blankets in this and rinse
them up and down and rub them
and squeeze them through the hands.
Unless there are very bad spots do
not advise rubbing them on the
board ...-.-
After they have been treated in this
way until you are sure that they are
fairly clean, put them in another tub
of water the same temperature, to
which you have added three quarts Of

soapy water, and go through the
same treatment as you did at first.
Take them out and put them into
still another tub of water the same
temperature and add to this water
the remaining quart of soap. Never
rinse blankets in clear water. Put
them through the wringer and hang
them up to dry in rather warm
place in the sun if possible.
Pull and straighten them into
shape.
If they are very fine blankets
good way to dry them is to put them
on a curtain frame and stretch them
down. Otherwise you must be very
careful to stretch them and pull them
straight by hand
Never put anything made of wool
into very hot water, as it fulls and
thickens it.
