This promises to be one of the most exciting openings the city has ever witnessed. Mr. Doty will manage the team and he wishes the hearty co» operation of the fans. This should prove the best thing that could have happened for baseball in Highland Park to have an entirely new manâ€" ager and it should eliminate a sore- ness that gripped so many of our fans for the past two seasons. Mr. Doty promises to have the fastest and strongest ball teams that can be procured in and around Chiâ€" Cagn.

Williams of the Civic: Commission, who has also served most efficiently as chairman of the iSanitar) Commission, made a plea ifor civic regulatiOn of popcorn \en- dors, especially in their dealing: with :schnol (hildren congregated about the school grounds. She said that such lalmost daily visits Were attended \vith nuisanro to th.‘ neighborhood and danger to the children. She said that Vine Ave. in the neighborhood of the high school had suffered acutely from such a nuisance, being littered much of the time with paper lap and empty pop bottles. Less digest- ible wares than popcorn. she said. were usually sold by these vendors. and she declared that their presence at the noon hour at the doors of the high school had become a detriment to the really beneficent institution of a wholesome and low-priced luncheon room maintained for several years at lleerfield Shields High School. Ordinances referring to the fixing of salaries of seven! new city em- ployees were approved. The consid- eration of the .salary ordinance for city employees for the ensuing yea was postponed until next meeting. A complaint by owners of property ndjacent to the nilrond, against the nuisance of excessive smoke from locomotives was referred to its proper cbmmittee. I Mayor Hastings added the three Following appointees to the Hospiml ;EXecuti\'e Committee, timely, Drs. gHaskins, Sheldon and Robens. E An account of bills and rebates 'read by Commissioner Hitchcock was gordered paid. The matter was brought up or lwarm'ng unsuspecting buyer.- of property against investing in what have been advertised as new sub. divisions when in reality these tracts were isolated from the city and could not be connected with the city systems of water or sewer. Corpora- tion Counsel Holmes was instructed to communicate with the sdvem'ser of such a tract south of our city, 1nd Mr. Russell suggested a means of legally combating such misrepresen- tation in the future. ‘ Several strong pleas contu'ned in a petition from our new Civics Com- lmission showed healthy signs of ac- Ttivity in,that body. The regulation jlof traffic at the depot, prohibition against head lights “ending at curbs, protest agninst ruthless re- moval of live trees from business dis- tricts and a plea for a more judicious placing of new street lights Were matters touched upon in the petition. A suggestion that the street commis- sioner confer with the City Beautiful Committee ovet the prospective re- moval of any liVe tree from the bum- ness district met with approval from the council.
