At least a part of the praise for the

wonderful showing made by the Phil

adelphia Athletics this season must go to "Homerun" Baker. The great

work with the stick of the "home runner" has done much to put the Athlet ics so far in the lead that only a mira

SUBMITS NEW PLAT

A plat for a new addition to the city, extending from West Main street to Southwest A street, and from West Ninth street to West Eleventh street, was filed with the board of public works for its approval today. No action was taken because Mr. Marlatt was out of the city and Mr. McMinn is ill. This prevented the board from holding a session. A petition for the widening of West Ninth street to a width of fifty feet accompanied the plat. The petitioner was notified by Clerk Bescher that he must remove a large sign board erected across Main street at the end of the brick paving.

CLUB STARTS WAR AGAINST WIRES Oil BUSINESS STREETS Members May Ask Prohibitory Law After' Learning That No Such Ordinance Exists on Books. , Although there is no city ordinance prohibiting it, business men of Main street are determined not to have any more wires strung on that thoroughfare. A determined stand was taken by

members of the insurance committee!

of the Commercial club when Mayor! Robbins announced to the committee that there is no way to prevent the city or the Light, Heat and Power company from putting wires on Main street if they see fit, although by city ordinance, no other companies can place their wires there. Several years ago an effort was made to pass an ordinance prohibiting wires on Main street, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The question of wires on Main street came up before the insurance committee when the matter of street lighting was suggested by one of the members of the committee. Mayor Robbins was asked whether it would be possible to eliminate all wires from Main street. The committee was then told that by present ordinance, it would be impossible to prevent the placing of wires on the main thoroughfare of the city. Would Enjoin Wiring. "If the city starts to put wires up on Main street again I know of a number of business men who will start injunction proceedings and tie the thing up in the courts," said E. M. Campfield. Following this discussion an agita

tion will be started to have council pass an ordinance prohibiting all wires on Main street. If this is done, it will necessitate the removal of the street car feed wires. The suggestion was made that if the city decides to change the lighting system on Main street, the street car company be asked to place its wires in conduits under the street at the same time the city is constructing its lighting system. This would eliminate an added expense, and according to members of the committee, it will only be a matter of time when the street car company will be forced to place its v ires underground. "Personally I think every wire should be off Main street," said Iayor Robbins, "but it is impossible to force any more off at the present time under the existing ordinances." Discuss Light Issue. The insurance committee informed Mayor Robbins that this committee is directly concerned with the improvement of the lighting system in the city because of the question of overhead wires. A heated discussion arose over the method being used by the board of works in getting a lighting system for the business district. "If no resident property owners on Main street are interested enough to sign a petition, the board of works does not believe the demand for ornamental posts is sufficient to purchase them," said the mayor. S. E. Swain, ex-president of the Commercial club, said practically all of the improvements on Main street in the business district, where such an extremely large proportion of persons directly interested in improvements are merely business men renting their properties, have been made through action by the board of works and not through petition. He said that this method should be used in the installa

tion of the lighting system instead of

the method of petition by resident

property owners in a business district. The mayor informed the committee that there are at least twelve resident property owners on Main street in the business district. "I am assured if a petition is presented to the board of works by at least one resident owner, there will be an overwhelming number of remonstrances, but it will start the ball rolling and the board will turn the matter over to council," said the mayor.
