aroused. The Commonwealth. repre-
scented by f. w. HUBBARD and assisted
by ~ T.. STROBE. rested its case on

SHOW INCREASE
Lighting, Fire and Poor Com
missiOners Want More Money
Than Allowed Last Year

The estimates OF the public light
Inc commission. the fire board ana
the poor commission were filed with
Controller Heineman. Tuesday. The
lighting board asked $6l3,53Sl7,
about 100000 more than was allowed
last year The extra amount asked Is
largely for an increase in new lights
IN the downtown section, the radiat-
ing thoroughfares and In the parks
and along the boulevards. The board
ignores the instruction OF the council
20 submit It's budget in detail and
there is likely to be some squabbling
when the council takes up the
figures.
The fire board asks 81 ,065 1862 for
maintenance and $264427 for Inn
p-ovements, while last year II was al
lowed $9S3,348.S0 for maintenance
and S17S,10230 for improvements.
The poor commission asks 100000
for a new city hospital, the project
urged by Mayor Marx. and 100000
for maintenance. Last year the
board was allowed $4,000.

SHORT HOURS FOR POSTAL
CLERKS START MARCH 4

After March 4, when the new
eight-hour law for postal employees
goes into effect, there will be no
mail taken out for delivery down
town after 3 D. m. This will affect
only the district south OF Grand Cir
Gus park, no change being made In
the residence districts. 1t Is expect
ed that the out-of=tUwn mail which
Is put into the bags at 1880 at pres
ent will be handled on the new
schedule Just as II is now, but local
mail will be largely excluded. The
main delivery down town ts the 1880
D. m. delivery, 80 that 1t is not ex-
pected that the new ruling will cause
any special inconvenience.
1t Is expected that number or
additional men will be required In
the local office. At present the men
are working from eight to IL hours
per day and there Is no compensation
for overtime work. The new law
provides for pay for overtime. The
postal employees have been working
for several years to get law proyid-
ing for pay for overtime through.
and are highly elated over the pros
pect of a definite working day.
