CITY COMMISSION HAS SWEET, SHORT SESSION FREE FROM "DEMANDS'

For the first time in the young life of the city commission, which elicited some comment from regular attend ants. the commission yesterday was not bothered with tho ordinary run of personal petitioners who heretofore have been present in large numbers at practically every session since the new administration took office
 can l have?a Have you got " and Let me take" were ordinary phrases not heard In the commission chamber in a long while, and when the meeting was brought to a short close after no demands" being made on the city, the commissioners them selves breathed sigh of relief and perhaps thanks, too, when the spell long sought had been broken.
 The commission decided to throw little light on one subject which caused no little disturbance at a re- cent meeting when & delegation asked better law protection and lighting at Avondale. and the city yesterday au- thorlzed the installation of a Mazda type light at the Intersection of Forty-second street and Avenue C, Avondale, and another at Twenty eighth street and Avenue J, Ensley
 fire plug hydrant was also au- thorized at Rising avenue and Cath erine street.

 "I am as sure that this can be done as am that l am living," Vish- nu said Monday. "Fhe best way to prove thing however is to do it, When a subject is once controlled only the sound Of the voice is needed.
