SALESIANUM HAS
EYE ON THIRD PLACE

With a chance OF climbing to
third place from the cellar, salesi-
anum Catholic High School will end
the Philadelphia Catholic High
School Basketball League with two
games this week. All Of the teams
in the circuit are known for their
speed and it can be seen that the
Sallies are in for a busy week in
meeting West Catholic High in Phil
adelphia tomorrow and Villa Nova
Prep on the local court, Friday
night.
From past performances Salesi-
anum has a very good chance OF
moving up in the race. The Gold
and White has won only one league
game and that was from West Cath
olic when they met here recently.
In addition the aallies were nosed
out by but one point by Villa Nova
on the latter's court This makes ii
appear that the locals have a better
than even chance taking both
games.
All three OF the teams have a
chance for third place SO that it will
be a merry three-cornered battle
with the Sallies doing the major
portion Of the battling. The game
Friday will be the final one in the
league. It will be remembered thai

ASKS CITY TO
CANCEL LIENS

Benjamin f. Shaw appealed to the
Street and Sewer Directors this
morning for the cancellation OF GER
tain liens for street paving assessed
against the Delaware Hospital. Pres
ident johnson informed Mr.. shaw
that il was impossible for thedirec-
tors to cancel any liens as they in
dividually would become personally
responsible for the payment OF the
Ven. Mr.. Shaw asked, What will
your board do IL we fail to nav. sell
the hospital2" Mr.. Shaw was in
formed the directors would take the
matter under advisement and would
let him know just what action would
be taken.
Several complaints were received
because OF alleged intolerable con.
dition OF streets in the northern
section OF the city. Mr. Pierson in
formed the directors these condi-
lions were prevalent throughout the

tion OF the north side OF East Sixth
street, between King and Market
streets, on Wednesdays and Satur-
days, due TO the florists attending
this market putting their stands
along this side OF the street dur
ing the time they are in the mar
ket. 1t was suggested that the for
lists be instructed to put their
stands on the south side OF the
street in this square and thus relieve
the congestion.
President Johnson said the direc-
tors we're contemplating the locating
OF terminal for the BUSES operat-
ing between this city and other
towns and that the directors would
give the matter their immediate at
tention.
The Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company informed the di-
rectors the company would relieve
the alleged intolerable condition OF
West Eighth street. Immediately
Residents of this section complained
at last meeting and the directors re-
quested immediate action on tn,
part OF the company.
