Street Program Criticised.

The authorities came in for criticism
in reference to the improvement of
streets in the suburb. A. E. Mckay
chairman of the highway committee,
reported that some months ago the
Commissioners asked for list of
streets on which improvements were
desired and that they be named in the
order of their Importance. According
II the association prepared a list or
eleven streets badly in need of i'm
provement. 1t now appears that all of
these streets were eliminated from the
bill and in their place three items have
been requested. chiefly an item for the
improvement of Portland street, on
which are very few houses. and used
hardly at all. excepting that the rail-
road extension to the steel plant oper-
ates over it. The legislative committee
was instructed to appear before the
Senate committee and see if it would
be possible to have inserted in the bill
items for the improvement of at least
some of the streets which the aSsocia-
ton feels need improvement most.
Upon motion of Edward Blaine the
Commissioners will be asked to in
struct the water department to insert
in the water bills next delivered to the
residents of the suburb the proper
numbers of their houses, in order that
permanent and correct system may
be established.

Dumping Place Provided.

An effort will be made to do away
with the practice of throwing old tin
cans and trash on the vacant lots in the
suburb. Howard Brady offered to pro-
vide public dumping grounds at the
foot of Milwaukee place. which was &C
copied, and the police will be asked to
see that in the future all trash is
dumped there. A request will be made
that regular trash collections be made
in the suburb.
A letter was read from the Commits
sioners stating that Alabama avenue
from Congress street to the Wheeler
road would be improved and oiled. A
request will be made that Nichols ave-
nue. be oiled to eliminate the dust. Ed
ward J. Newcomb was appointed as
special representative of the associa-
ton to attend the hearing to be held by
the utilities commission June 10 to
consider the question of STANDARDIZED
ton of the street railway companies. A
letter was read from the Interior De-
partment, in reference to the associa-
tons request that the nurses gate in
the wall around the government hos
pital grounds be reopened and a watch
man stationed there, to the effect that
the question had been given much con-
sideration before 1T was closed and
that a reconsideration of the matter
was impossible.

dav there was a discussion of a pro
posal Of some sort OF permanent
commission to consider all railway
disputes in the future and that II
should begin with the present one
Whether it should be semi-priyate
tribunal organized by agreement be-
tween the railroads and men was not
made clear. But there seemed to be
some sentiment in favor Of having 1t
created by act of Congress, somewhat
in the nature of an enlargement OF
the present board of mediation ana
cancellation. 1t was not made clear
whether President Wilson was con-
sidering the idea or not,
Brotherhood leaders would not say
whether compromise might be
reached by putting an elght-hour day
into effect for six months for "a trial
and allowing pro rata pay for over
time as had been suggested but they
said that such system would have
decided advantage over the one under
which they are now working.
Under that plan a man earning
s4 in ten hours would make the SAME
amount in eight hours and overtime
would start at fifty cents an hour in
stead of forty. Thus at the end of
ten hours he would have earned 50
instead Of $4 as he now earns and be
getting one and one-quarer pay for
overtime.
