 REQUEST GRANTED
Overhead Line Across Brown St. Approved By

Permission to extend an overhead power line across Brown street was granted the Patent Button company last night by the board of works. Originally Electrical Inspector Mar tin O,Rourke objected to the grant, ing of the petition but withdrew his objection last night when Corpora ton Counsel Charles S.

The line will be run high above the street so as not to interfere with traffic.
 Installation of Q sewer in Walnut street extension was recommended to the aldermen by the board. A public hearing on the matter was scheduled for last night but none of those summoned appeared. The board automatically approved the job and passed 1t on to the alder men for adoption.

 The matter of eliminating a small parlzlet at the junction Of EasI Farm and Walnut streets wa. scheduled for discussion last night but nobody from the district ap. peared so the matter was postponed for another two weeks.

CBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Sept. 29.-Tourists
from the British provinces, the
Dominions, America and other
places are taking advantage of
rarliament's summer vacation to
visit the house of commons and
sit in the seats of Britain's legis-
lators. AS many as 1900 have
visited the house in one day.
Some stand up and pretend to
address the house. They go a lit
tie red in the face when someone
eyes them. Others simply seem
highly pleased to be in such sur
roundings. Many it's not hard to
guess, look with relish to the day
when they will get home and tell
neighbors and friends that they
sat in the prime minister's chair.
