Brae ei President To-Day and Asks for Explanation. WANT HIM TO WAKE UP. Wish to Know Why the Appro- priation for Signs Is Not Used. ‘Whether New York's streets are to be labelled properly and the signs now tn place maintained and kept lghted, or ‘whether the slipshod conditions which Obtain are to continue, will be brought to an issue to-day with the borough ad- ministration. A committee represent- tng the Street Name Sign Conference, Which is composed of the West Side As Boolation, the City Club and the Mer- ehants’ Association, 1s to call upon Bor- @ugh President Ahearn in tho City Tall. This committee; hoaded by J. Le Brower, of the West Side Association, has a number of “whys” to propound to Mr. Ahearn, most pertinent of all being the one concerning the appropria- thon of $30,000 which was granted to him nearly a year ago for a street sign syutem. It is expected by the committee that Mr. Ahearn will explain why he hhas permitted that money to lo idle while the city’s street vigns have gone from bad to worse. Many Complaints Made. ‘The meeting between Ahearn and the @onference committee is the result of a Fequest made yesterday by Mr. Brower. Behind the requést were the com- plaints of cltizens for a year back and % would seem that the time had come for those in charge of the government of the municipality to awake to the fact that New York is not a third-rate vil- Tage; that she ought to have a street Sign system of the highest utility and in keeping with her dignity as a me- tropolis. Former Borough President Jacob A Cantor, in whose administration the first madern street signs were estab- Ushed, said to-day that if he had had Another year in, office he would have siven the city a system of sins that Would have set a standard for the world, He declared that ho had done as Much as he could with the appropria- Hons that he had been able to obtain from the Board of Estimate and Ap- Portionment, and altogether between 3902 and the end of his term purchased @nd put in place throughout the city @pproximately 9,000 signs, “I don’t know how much {t cost to Maintain the illuminated signs on the Old lampposts," said Mr. Cantor to- } “and I didn’t care when I was in day effice. The citizens of New York want fizeet signs, and they should have the a not & system that is forever in lagrace. Now, !t is sald, that the gas Supply has been cut off’ the lampoost signs use of the great extravagance, ‘The borough administration has nothing to do with the cost of lighting. The tponey for that is controlled by the en Water, Gas and Blec- tricity, but I never could understand Why @ clty that spends milli to light her streets cannot spend a few thousands to illuminate her street sigma Tor the convenience and tection of her cltisona, I think it & a disgrace ‘that things should continue as they are.

For over five years Joseph Binquitz’s elderly, ardent heart has beaten alone for Miss Lottle A. Webster, a Sunday- school teacher, and now, with his pas- sion all unrequited, he must go to jail to cool off. The blow fell in Harlem Court to-day, when Magistrate Pool held Binquitz in $500 bail for trial on the charge of annoying Miss Webster, who lives at No. 217 West One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. He had no bondsman and was sent to the Tombs. Miss Webster is twenty-five years old, a brunette, wears glasses and teaches a class at Calvary M. E. Church, Sev- enth avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. She told the Magistrate that she met Rinquintz in August, pestering her ever since with protesta- tions of affection, He insisted on writing her Jove-letters, which she never an- swered, and made talk in the, block by standing for hours in front of the Webster house looking up at her win- dow.
