His appointment to this office, which lg considered the .plum of the appoint- ive offices, meets with general appr»>- val. Mr. McColl will assume his du- ties May 1- The Appointees. The following are the other appoin- tees; John H. Moore, commissioner ot public works. W. J. Hamilton, city comptroller. Dr. S. Victor Balderston, commls- ironer of health. Joseph L». McNab, corporation coun- el After some business of minor im- portance had been transacted in busi- nesslike order Alderman William Fos- ter Burns of the Third ward asked for «n opinion by the corporation counsel •a to the legal status of the Sanitary district in building Intercepting sew- ers and adjuncts in Evanston. The paat procedure of the council in the matter was explained by Alderman Dyche in a manner which satisfied Mr. j Burns. A Good Movement. I A movement to beautify the busi- â-  ness streets of Evanston was launched ! by Aldermari Carter of the Third ward when he advanced an objection to the approval by the council of a canopy to be erected over the Davis street side walk by the management of the new Star theater. Mr. Chandler, on behalf of the building committee, stated that the theater company wished to build a canopy in front of the theater which did not answer the requirements of the building ordinance. The matter bad been referred to the building com- mittee at last week's meeting, and the chairman of the committee suggested that the council allow the proposed canopy to be erected according to the Plans presented by the amusement company. Mr. Chandler stated that tbe building was not strong enough to hold a canopy corresponding to the demands of the building ordinance He stated that the one desired to be Placed over tbe walk by the theater company was made of steel, instead of glass, as required by the ordinance, ^d that It was safer and more orna- mental than any could be meeting the requirements of the ordinance. Carter Opposes Plan. Mr. Carter stated that he was op- Posed to giving permit* for the erec- tion of any canopies or awnings along the business streets. "Evanston busi- ness streets have always had a fine appearance," said Mr. Carter, "and I am opposed to having them marred by the erection of any overhanging canopies, signs or awnings. In Chi- cago and many other cities through- the country they are trying to do Away with overhanging signs, awnings tad canopies.

Tu REMOVE GOOLERS; PASSENGERS HIT Chicago & Northwestern Rail- way to take Off Drinking Water Tanks, is Report. Evanston and other North Shore patrons of the Chicago & North West-1 era railroad are likely to suffer from ' thirst this summer if the road does' not do something in the way ot pro- viding drinking water. Recently the old-fashioned water tanks were re- moved from most of the cars, it being stated that they had been condemned | as unsanitary. What tbe patrons of the road would like to see in-J stalled is the new style inverted bot-j tie coolers. I Were Unsanitary. The removal of the old-fashioned, water coolers was caused by a lawI which pronounced them to be unsani-1 tary. This law followed close on the law which abolished the public drink-1 Ing cup. The Northwestern owes it to | its patrons to provide some means of quenching thirst. Patrons say it is not fair for the road to allow the lit- tle item of cost to Btand in the way. So far as providing sanitary drink- ing cups are concerned the road would not need to do this unless it really desired to do so, for a little vending machine could be placed beside the water coolers and anyone who wished could purchase one of the cups by dropping a cent In the slot. There are many people who carry a collapsi- ble cup. The hot weather will soon..be here and unless something is done at once patrons of the trains are liable to en- counter considerable inconvenience. Repairing Shanties. The North Western is repairing and remodeling the laborers' box cars and shanties along Its line by adding sharp roofs, small verandas, etc., which will make them more attractive, as well as giving the vorkmen nicer ac- commodations. These improvements have been seen at several points along the line and the intention is to make the changes all along the route as rapidly as possible.

NEWTRIER COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATIIN MEETS Merchants' Delivery Men Ex- plain Working of Cooperative Delivery Systems in Other Towns. OFFICES OF SIK DENTISTS Evanston's historic flag pole, which has stood service for many years in Fountain square, is undergoing ex- tensive repairs under the direction of Edmond von Kaenel, an expert stee- ple-jack of Chicago. To preserve tha old flag staff and make it safe against all storm elements it was necessary to cut off five feet at the base, which had rotted to such an extent that pieces of it could easily be picked out. An entire new reinforced concrete base has been made and the staff Is now securely imbedded in this cement mix ure. The old flag pole is being painted a dark gray. While the work of paint- ing the pole Is mere "play" for von Kaenel and his assistant, compared with other hazardous tasks they have performed, it attracts much attention from passersby in Davis street.

DAY NURSERY WORK PROGRESSING STEADILY BICYCLE THPES AGAIN APPEAR IN EVANSTON The second bicycle theft since the confession of a trio of Chicago youths to the wholesale stealing of wheels in Evanston a few weeks ago, was re- ported to the police Monday night. Timothy Foley, 1022 Asbury avenue, is the victim. He stated that his wheel, valued at $l>r'. was taken from In front of the city hall some time late Mon- day afternoon. A. O.

The work at the Evanston day nur- sery, situated at the corner of Lake street and WeBley avenue, is pro- gressing in a satisfactory manner to those who are working for ltB support and continuance. I^ast month 193 children of Evans- ton received day care. Since Christ- mas 563 little ones have been looked after at this nursery. The institution now supports, in addition to the day charges, one mother and her three children, who live at the nursery. The food given to the children is prepared by women who are them- selves mothers and they Bee to it that these little dependents have a tempt- caused good sized crowds to gather in the streets and marvel at his peril- ous work. He also repaired the stee- ple of the First Baptist church of Ev- anston. However, those feats were trifles when other work he has done is considered. For more than eleven years von Kaenel has been engaged in "steeple- jack" work. In that time he has as cended the highest points of the world's largest structures. He has done work on the Singer building in New York City, has climbed to the topmost parts of the ElfTel tower in Paris, and scaled the walls of the leaning tower of Pisa and other high structures. Scores of church steeples in all the principal cities of the United States and Europe have been ascend- ed to their Bky-plercing points by the daring Chicago youth.

It is thought by the police that tbe man spent Sunday .morning In Evans- ton looking over the lay of the ground and then returned In the early even- ing and entered the various places. The fact that'he robbed the office of Dr. Hanna on Central street leads the police to the theory that he robbed the Davis street places first and then proceeded northward.
