King STREET
Business Men Again Ask
City Department to
Begin Work
NO MONEY YET,
BOARDS REPLY

A delegation OF members OF the
King Street Merchants Association
attended the meeting OF the Street
and Sewer Department this morning
in the interest OF paving and i'm
proving the general conditions OF
that street. Those composing the
delegation were: Frank A. Mccoy,
Bernard Kleitz. Arthur y. Kuschan
and f. II. steinle.
Mr.. Mccoy. in voicing the senu-
ments of the association. said; we
are not here to oppose the improve
ment of the entire length of King
street from Front to Sixteenth, as
proposed by the directors. But II
the appropriation cannot be obtained
for this work. we suggest that your
body communicate with Council for
sufficient sum TO pave and improve
King street. from Front TO Ninth,
the business section. we also feel,
said Mr.. Mccoy. that increased as
sessment would more than reimburse
the department for the work done.
Further improvements were sug-
gested by the delegation. They were
the removal of all outside stands in
front OF stores the replacing Of the
present unsightly lighting equipment
with more ornamental equipment.
T. was also stated that the Mer-
chants Association favored the re-
moval Of the trolley tracks.
In reply to the statements made
by the delegation in reference TO the
outside stands, Director Grier re-
quested the reading Of the report of
! Clerk Of the Market Edward $
McAteer. which was the result OF an
Investigation made by him at the
suggestion Of Mr.. Grier.
This report showed that many
merchants along the streets were
renting stand space on the sidewalh
in front Of their places Of business
and that the city was not getting
any financial return. IL was said
that Philadelphia and Baltimore
business men operated some of these
stores.
President Johnson said the direc-
tors had expected TO have been apl'
to begin the King street improve
ments by this time. but owing 10 tho
lack Of and prohibitive cost Of labor
and material the operations had beer
handicapped. But If Council vii
make the necessary appropriation
1.-The work will begin al once
Mr.. johnson further stated that al
members of the department wer'
opposed to the unsightly. unsanitar'
and congcsted conditions OF KIM
street and the same would receive
their attention when the improve
ment began.

SOME WEST SIDE
FOLK FEEL SHOCK

Residents in the neighborhood OF
Tenth and Clayton streets. were
startled by what sounded like a
heavy explosion between $50 and
$50 o'clock last night. Doors and
windows were shaken. bringing peo-
pie out OF their houses to ascertain
the cause.
The DUPONT Powder Company did
not have any record OF an explosion.
at any OF their plants last night.
What puzzled the residents OF that
section was the fact that nowhere
else in town. except in and near
Tenth and Clayton streets was any
jar or shock felt.
It is thought that the shock was
alarmed by a heavy blast. from one
OF the stone quarries in that vi
cinity.
