ceived in her successful platform
career. This cleverest of impersona-
tors, who is scheduled to appear at the

night, Vas giving one of her recitals
at Forest Hills, Mr. BOOKSELLERS
Cleveland estate. The great financier
evidenced great pleasure throughout
the entire performance. At its con-
clusion he said he had laughed more
than he had in seven years
Miss Batting had a humorous ex-
perience one time at a recital she was
giving at an insane asylum. She was
reading serious number when one Of
the patients rose and shouted out,
Stop" Since then she saye she has
confined herself mostly to humorous
pieces.
On the opening night of Chautau,
qua Miss Batting, together with the
McGfath Brothers, Richard and Fred.
will give the entertainment program.
The audience may look for some
fun when McGrath Brothers appear,
for it is said they can't be told one
from 'tother.

An ordinance making the property

service was passed Thursday night by
the board of commissioners of Alton

order to protect the city from such
losses as occurred last year when the
city government found itself So 900 shy
because 1t had been forced to make all
expenditures for the scavenger
service,
City Auditor Petersen made his re-
port OF the audit OF the books for 1919
He reported all moneys and taxes were
accounted for and that the books were
in fine shape,
The report OF the committee on the
fire hall for Alton Park was postponed
for another week In order to give time

site adjoining the present city hall, on
which 1t was proposed to erect the

other location. II is said that this site
was offered for sale a year ago nj
about one-half what Ia asked for II

CITY READY TO

Car Company.
KELLEY STREET CASE
Commissioner Bass Writes
Sharp Letter to Manager.
Urges Quick Action.

with the department Of streets and
sewers ready and waiting to pave Cham
nerlah avenue, from Kelly street to
ladge Junction, as soon as the street
railway company gets Its tracks in
shape, Commissioner II. ID. Bass, i'm
patient at the slow progress made. has
written T.. d. Reed. general manager
OF the railway company, asking that
something be done to relieve the situa-
ton.
The actual task OF loweringthe tracks
to the proper level, putting in sewerage
and ballast and placing new rails and
Ties was begun fully three months ago.
AT this late date the laying OF bricks
and the pouring of concrete is not com
plete on one block. The work in the re-
naming blocks from Buckley to Kelly
street is still in formative state.
Snail Like Progress.
The car company was asked n year or
more ago to get its tracks on Cham
berlain avenue in shape for the street
paving. Property owners, impatient at
the snail like progress that is being
made. have appealed to the commits
sioner personally and through letters,
ana he has done everything possible,
work he completed.
lie stated that the street paving itself
can be. finished within about thirty
days If the car company will only get
through and give the city's contractors a
chance.
Bass Says to Speed PIP.
In his letter to Manager Reed, the
commissioner said the way the track
work job is progressing on Chamberlain
avenue will cause us to he thrown into
winter with our part OF the work, we
feel that the work you are doing on
Dodds avenue crossing should have been
delayed until that part west of Dodds
avenue was completed. The people on
this street are 'cussing' and ! am the
goat Do something to relieve the
situation"
Failing to get satisfactory response
from the car officials Commissioners
BASS recently wrote Receivers Percy
Warner and John Graham as follows:
regret the necessity OF continuously
calling your attention to the condition
or your tracks on the streets OF Chat
tanooga. In many instances the faulty
condition of your tracks is absolutely
destroying pavements. In some cases
paVements less than three years old
are being destroyed by the vibration OF
your cars.
i would be glad If you would make n
personal investigation of Boyce steet,
McCallie avenue, Dodds avenue, Vance
avenue, West Main, Market, Walnut
and almost any track bed in the city and
see how our streets are being destroyed.
Files Full Of Complaints.
i can appreciate the difficulty you
have In doing work under present con-
ditions. but must insist that this con-
dition is of long standing. My files are
tull or letters to the Chattanooga Nee
trio railway, dating over the past five
years. complaining of these conditions.
1 am also greatly annoyed and en-
barrassed by complaints from tho pub
lie about these matters.
Some system for keeping your tracks
s repair should be installed. | assure
you get no pleasure in continuously
writing you about these troubles,
Please see what can be done"
