The last named board was instructed | to postpone action on proposals already | submitted by various contractors for | street cleaning. Braunhart, who made the motion which prevailed, stated that | the Police Department had stopped the | sweeping of streets at various times because it was being improperly done 'and was becoming an intolerable nuis- | ance. It was explained that the Merchants’ Association had withdrawn its recom- | mendation that the city do its own | street sweeping because there was no ! assurance that it would be done under | civil service regulations. Braunhart's motion that the Finance Committee direct full compliance with the civil !service law in the matter prevailed. ! He stated that examinations for in- | spectors and other required officials couid be held at once. The board referred to the Fire Com- mittee a‘proposed amended ordinance | providing that to any so-called “‘class | B" building now erected to a height of | 8ix stories there may be added not to exceed two additional stories of the | same average height as the six stories | already erected, notwithstanding -that | the addition of said stories may make | the building more than one hundred | feet in height, which is the limit al- llowed for class B buildings under the I ordinance. T. O.

They ask that their street be made as wide as Third and Kearny streets. Mrs. John Merrill appeared on be- haif of the City and County Hospital and urgently asked that an appropri- ation be made for the children patients in that institution. Mrs. Merrill stated that there is no children’s ward at the | hospital and that they mre allowed to | occupy beds between patients suffering | from contaglous diseases.

The presiding Judge of the Superior Court has authority to assign cases to any department he chooses without consulting the wishes of the Judge of the department, or so Judge Sloss de- cided yesterday when he declared that he would hear the petition of Jean Pon for a writ of certiorarl growing out of the issuance of war- rants by a Police Judge for the arrest of inmates of the resort at 1129 Du- pont street. The writ was originally asked for by Attorney George D. Collins from Superior Judge Carroll Cook. Judge Cook issued an alternative writ, made returnable before him two days later. In the meantime the petition was filed and Judge Kerrigan assigned it to Judge Sloss. When it came up Attor- ney Collins protested, clalming that It BEECHAM’S PILLS Sold Everywhere in Boxes, 10c. and 26c. ~ was a matter over which Judge Ker- rigan had no jurisdiction.
