Postpone Action on
Overhead Bridge; Now
Up to City PIGnner.

Council to-day postponed action on
the ordinance authorizing Swift and
Company to construct an overhead
across Seventh street pending a report
on the measure by the City Planning
commission.
The ordinance which had been in
troduced a week ago by request was
on second reading to-day but was re-
ferred to the Planners with a request
that the commissions action be re-
ported to council within ten days.
The bridge, according to the ordi-
nance. is to be built at a point about
fifty feet north of North street. 1t is
to have width of not more than ten
feet, clearance above the curb of at
least fifteen feet, and to be carried on
steel trusses approximately six feet
high No columns or abutments are
to be coretructed in the street and the
company is to be responsible for any
damages that may result during or
after its construction.
The ordinance authorizing the
opening and grading of Twenty
seventh street from Derry to Green
wood was passed finally and these new
measures were offered by Mr.. Lynch:
Constructing a sewer in York street,
from Eighteenth to the eastern city
line at cost not to exceed $3.50; con-
structing a 15-inch storm sewer in
Swatara street from Eighteenth to
Nineteenth at a cost or not less than
$1400. By resolution offered by Mr..
| Lynch council permitted the new
Christian Science Church 70 tap on
the city's sewer in Emerald street. In
accordance with an opinion from City
Solicitor Seitz council refused to ex-
onerate the same church from pay
ment of city taxes for 1916 on the
church property because the ground
| hadn't been formally purchased before
the tax levy was made.

REGARDED AS BIG STEP
BY Associated Press

Rome, Aug. s. via Paris.-The an
nouncement by the War Office of the
Italian victory in the Monfalcone Sec
tor is received everywhere in Italy
with rejoicing, although the war is
being directed with such secrecy that
the public at large knows little about
1t. In view of the difficult nature of
the ground and the exceptionally ia
vorable positions held by the Austrians
the taking of 5000 prisons is regarded
as long step in advance. The troops
which so distinguished themselves are
from Leghorn and Turin. They car
ried out an enveloping movement,
which made possible the gathering in
of prisoners in large numbers.

be obtained and administered to those
now victims of similar attack. 1t
was stated that this appeal was made
at the request of the Department of
Health and of several physicians who
are foremost in the tight against the
plague.
Physicians said that owing to lack
of serum with which to make num-
erous conclusive tests, its value has
not yet been fully proved, but indicat-
ed that there was a possibility that,
if administered early enough it would
prevent paralysis and save the patient
from becoming crippled There has
been much discussion of this claim
and it has been questioned by other
physicians.

NEW SYSTEM TO
START NEXT WEEK
Plans For High and Color
Ch a n 6 e S on Pennsylvania
Railroad Near Completion

Plans for changing signal lights on
the Pennsylvania railroad will be COM
pletea this week and it is expected that
official orders will be issued Saturday.
effective on or about August 10.
AS announced exclusively in the Tele-
graph ten days ago, white lights are to
disappear from the Pennsylvania rail-
road system for all signal purposes.
This has been decided upon because of
the confusion which is apt to result
from the many white lights in various
uses which now appear at places to
bother engineers and trainmen.
Green Succeeds White
Green will replace white for clear
or proceed" while a bright, distinctive
yellow. visible at great distances, will
be used for caution Red will con-
tinue to mean stop"
Not only will alterations have to be
made in all of the semaphore signals,
but the following devices will also be
affected: Marker lights on the rear OF
passenger and freight trains, switch
lamps and targets, markers for track
tanks, slow signs, resume speed
signs, hand lamps at interlocking and
block signal stations and lights dis
played to the public at crossing gates
Lights for the latter purpose will be
red instead of green, as at present
