PETITION TOMORROW.

Tuesday nights meeting of the
Board of Aldermen promises To be ore
of the most interesting sessions Of
many important matters to come be-
fore the higher branch OF Council and
It Is not at ali unlikely that action on
several of these will be deferred be-
cause OF the attitude OF some members
of the body which calls for the refer
ring back to committee of the various
items.
Three measures scheduled to appear
before the Board that are likely to go
back to committee are the location of
the jackson monument site, the regu-
lating of street car speeds in passing
houses of worship and the creation Of
a Juvenile and domestic relations
court. All three of these measures. in
the opinion of Alderman Ordway Pull
Ter. of Clay Ward. at this time. are
premature or otherwise unqualified
for passage.
Mr.. Fuller is OF the opinion that
the people have not given sufficient
consideration to the jackson monu-
ment site matter. which the ordinance
proposes shall be located at Monu-
ment Avenue and the Boulevard; that
the regulation Of car speeds is class
ripe for the creation OF the Juvenile
and Domestic Relations Court, as
there has been nothing done to meet
conditions that such court would
create through its operation.
Opposition to Francise.
There are scheduled a number of
committee meetings during the week.
On Monday night the Street Commit
tee will take up the petition of the
