The operating force of the water de-
partment made % taps of mains last
week to supply new consumers; turn
ed on water at the curb for SO old
consumers; and flushed and painted p
fire hydrants or plugs.
The completion of extensions to the
network of water mains was an
%nounced as follows:
On Rosemary road, Crest, from rail-
road to Park boulevard.
On Fern road, Crest, from railroad
to Park boulevard.
On Nineteenth avenue, North Wild
wood, from Central avenue to Surf
avenue.
On Fifth avenue, Anglesea, from
railroad to New York avenue.
On New York avenue, North Wild
wood, from Eighth avenue to Tenth
avenue.
On Lincoln avenue from Atlantic
avenue to Ocean avenue.
On Baker avenue, from end of old
main to Atlantic avenue.
On Montgomery avenue, from Sus-
quehanna avenue to Mediterranean
avenue.
On Crosse N from Park boule-
ward to Lake road.
Fire hydrants were located at all
necessary points in the many lengths
of mains laid.
The report of Chief of Police Oak
ford Cobb told of two. commitments
having been made the past week to the
county almshouse; of two requests for
shelter and lodging in the City Hall
basement that had been made and
granted and of two special officers
having been detailed for duty on
Easter Sunday.
The Mayor instructed the city clerk
to furnish the police force with the
names of all persons to whom jitney
or taxicab licenses have been granted;
also to furnish the numbers of all Ii
cense tags for purposes of 1dent1hca-
ton of licensed hackmen.
A marked difference has been noted
in the appearance of Pacific avenu
since the new traffic ordinance went
into effect. The congestion of traffic
on this leading business street has
been materially reduced and the re-
suits thus far obtained must be most
gratifying to all who believe in safety
first and who have been appalled, here
tofore at the dangerous crowding OF
vehicular traffic on this much used
thoroughfare. The unw~arranted speed
ing of reckless drivers is likely to
engage the attention of the Commits
sioners and the police force next. The
thoughtless speeder is a greater men
ace in reality than the injudicious
parker. Mere chance has saved the
preparation of some frightful acct
dents on our streets in past seasons.
Shall there be a continuance of this
unlawful and criminal speeding prac-
tice or will our vigilant police force
nip it in the bud now before the big
crowds come? The just enforcement
of the law in only a few instances
would soon put a quietus on the incon-
siderate speeders and make u streets
!, safe for pedestrians, whether men
women or children.
