BOULEVARD MAY Be
GIVEN NEW NAME
Memory Of Washington or
Lafayette Probably Will
be Honored.

In a communication TO the street
and Sewer Department. which was
read at the meeting today, the Wash
ington Street Bridge Commission for
warded a resolution adopted ty the
commission at a meeting yesterday
recommending that the name of the
new bridge across the Brandywine az
Washington street be officially adopted
as Washington Memorial Bridge
The historical features OF the stresm
of water which IL spans and the fact
that the bridge is TO be memorial to
the city's World War heroes, made II
an appropriate name, they thought.
II was also suggested that the boule-
ward be officially known as Washing
ton Boulevard"
The commissioners took both sur-
eestions under advisement for future
action. They said they had thought
Lafayette Boulevard would be an
appropriate name for this thorough
fare especially in view Of the fact that
there is. now Washington street in
that section of the city The propos-
ed name for the new bridge, however,
probably viii be adopted.
The State Highway Department sent
the board q copy of a resolution
adopted at a recent meeting to the ef-
feet that the public utilities be tender
ed a ten-year franchise for the use of
the right Of way of the State high
ways on a basis OF 10 cents a mile per
year for the wire companies, and IS
mile per year for the light, power,
water and gas companies. There arose
a question as TO the department. S
right 10 charge any rental for the use
of the city streets. The matter will
be investigated and the board will
act on IL later.
Mayor Harvey returned with his ap-
proval, the resolution adopted by the
board week ago regulating the con-
structicn Of signs. etc, on the city
streets and IL was declared a law.
The contract for cleaning Shipley
run sewer was awarded to John Phil
lips for 1850. The balance in bank
to the credit of the department was
reported to be s432. .10I.55. The weekly
payroll. amounting TO s5.269.43, and
the cart hire amounting to s1.s92.32.
were ordered paid. The payroll for
last week is about $4,000 less than the
average for some time, because of
the time lost by the workmen during
the several rain storms.

er things, that every Christian set
aside definite proportion of his in
come, usually not less than a tenth,
for benevolent purposes, including
church and it's foreign and home
missionary enterprises. The centenary
offering Of $106,600,000 totaled sew
en times the former average annual
giving to benevolent causes, and it is
believed that at least 40 per cent of
this offering was due less to the great
financial drive than to the silent in
fluence of Christian stewardship"
Business sessions have been held
each day and anniversary meetings
each night. The conference is ex-
Pected to adjourn sometime the first
of the coming week, probably Mon
day night or Tuesday.
Rev. f. w. Mcdowell, pastor of

writing. Contractor j. X. Wetter, with
force of men, is now busily at work
and rapid strides toward its compile

day. A new survey of the street has
been made, by which all of the curv-
es have been eliminated and perfect
ly straight thoroughfare will connect
Market Street and Linden Avenue,
an Improvement which cannot fail
to meet public approval. All of the
cross sewer pipes have been put in
position, the street has been proper
ly graded and rolled and is now about
ready for the concrete work. In all
probability this will begin during the
coming week and it will be only a
matter of about two or three weeks
before the street is thrown open to
the use of the public.
