If, in making up your budget for the

The traffic on Main street, as you
all know, is very heavy, and many
times in the evening an officer should
be on traffic duty at the Washington
avenue intersection. This has been
tried and several officers have had

IN the matter OF the appointments

pointees should attend all meetings

the health OF a community that such
a board should function. especially in
times Of epidemic. It has also been
brought % my notice that in several
parts OF the city hogs are being rails
ed, in close proximity to dwellings.
These conditions should not be tole-

THE railroad situation is unchang-

the rate OF sixty miles an hour, and
only recently the men stationed at the
crossing at Franklin avenue and the
Reading railroad were removed, and
the shanty closed. The only protec-
ton being a blinking red light signal.
This condition should not exist in con

that when the Supreme Court. in
whose hands the matter now lies,
renders a verdict, it viii be for the
city and the railroad companies will
be forced to provide adequate protec-
ton at their crossings"
