without the new streets they are
seeking. He suggested they decide

streets and commencing city authori-
ties In their efforts 10 enforce the snow

A letter was received from the Street
and Sewer Department relative to the
condition OF Union street at the inter.
section with Pennsylvania avenue, which
subject was referred TO them some time
ago They cited the agreement between
this city and the Baltimore 4 Ohio rail
road under which the railroad company
placed its overhead tracks at this point

bers they decided 70 ask the depart
ment for a copy OF this agreement with
the railroad company.
The question of supplying ire
badges to the members OF Council
also came up before the meeting.
Councilman Draper said that at the
fre Wednesday afternoon the thought
\ occurred to him that 1t would be con-
fvonlent for the members to have fire
: badges so they could pass within the
hre lines without trouble. He thought
these badges should be the property
of the city so they could be handed
down 70 their successors. He eX-
planned that he had no trouble get
ting within the fire lines at the Ierger
FIRE, but some time someone vitality
interested might have a hard time
getting through.
He moved that the fire committee
be instructed to investigate the ad-
visibility OF providing the councilmen
with fire badges and to report back
TO Council. This motion prevailed.
