President. ' I Temple. Pheae Ml 4. backs up on tax matter Citj Council Eescinds Eetolution Begard iog Driring Park Remittitur. SNOW IN STREETS A SERIOUS PROBLEM Motor Compear Heqaested te R(nr It, bat Cltr Has No Montr Which to Do Its Share of tho Work. The city council, on convening in ad journed session yesterday ifternoon, lost no time In rescinding Its action of last Mon day night In refunding the taxes for four year on the Union Driving park. As soon as Alderman Olson, who waa presiding In the absence of Mayor Macrae,. had called the meeting to' order Alderman Weaver offered a motion, seconded by Alderman McMillen, to rescind the previous aotlon, and the motion was carried unanimously' and without a single word of, discussion. In view of the general protest against the re funding of the taxes the action of the city council yesterday afternoon was antici pated. The city council. In acquiescing In the request of the Union Driving Park company to refund the taxes for 111, 19c2, 1903 and 1904, and to remit those for 1906, did only what Its predecessors had done for several years. The records of the city council show that for Afteen years or more back the company regularly appeared before the council with a request that Its taxes be re mitted and that the request waa duly granted. This, however, the company had neglected to do for the last four years and the result was that the property waa sold at the delinquent tax sale last December. The council also discussed the question of requiring the motor company to remove from the streets the snow which it has swept off Its tracks. In many places It ha become an obstruction on the street, but the aldermen failed to find any ordinance by which they could compel the motor com pany to remove the snow. Attorney Tlnley, who appeared on behalf of the motor 'comi pony, stated the company was prepared to do its share If the city would do Its. This latter proposition, however, proved a prob lem that the aldermen confessed they were not prepared to solve for the simple reason that the streets and alley committee had entirely depleted the fund for cleaning the streets and with the city treasury bank rupt nothing could be done In this respect. It wn suggested as a sort of compromise that the motor company at least remove the snow from the principal street crossings, which are now almost impassable from the banks of snow swept from the oar tracks, and thla Attorney Tlnley promised would be done. After disposing of some minor routine, matters the aldermen visited Vine street to Inspect the paving recently completed by Contractor Wick ham and pass upon the as sessment schedule. Contractor Wlckham obligingly had the snow removed In patches from the paving so that the aldermen could. Inspect It. It was decided that the city would have to bear about 1400 of the cost of the Improvement, some of the abutting property being of Insufficient value to stand the entire amount assessed against it. The council adjourned to Monday night, February . . , . I ' ' ' r Matters la District Coart.

M. WOMAN III CLUB AND CHARITY Mrs. May Alden Ward, vice president of the General Federation, has the following to say regarding the press In an editorial In the February Bulletin, the official organ of the General Federation of Womon's Clubs: It is apparent thst we cannot undertake 4o publish routine reports of Individual club a.-tivtty. ... A general organ published once a month cannot hope to compete with th dally papers In the matter of local In telligence, nor would It be desirable to do so if we could. We regard the dally and weekly press as the greatest ally of the clubs. It Is Indispensable to the success of the club movement, buth local and general, nd therefore must always be encouraged to a-lve club Intelligence whenever It Is pos sible." The Bulletin thus outline It policy of representing In a large way the entire club movement. This Is precisely the Intent of a general organ, and, the poilcy carried out. the m gamine will become a necessity to every active club In the country. This appeal for masculine attention meets With heartiest approval: "We ought to re member that it Is th busy American man who needs awakening on all our civic and social subjects, even more than do the women. Stop and ask yourself how many periodicals does your husband read which lreat In any serious way the problems wntcn we are Treating in every pumper, and practically In almost every pge of the magazine you are now reading. The fact Is. there are hut few such publications of any kind, even when we enumerate the entire number. What wonder If the American man la the easy victim of his political director, who wisely employs every advnp tege which paper and Ink enn lay before him and sees to It thnt no day passes In whlrh the alluring halt Is not temptingly hsld up. as If partv leaders and party spoils were the only ohlects In life worth living for? As nn antidote to all this, what are w doing to meet the untiring efforts of self-seeking Influences? Mow long will It tnke to convince the women and to nrrest the attention of the men, at such a rate of progress as this?" Trained' nurses of Illinois are making another effort to secure; through legisla tion, a system of registration such as ob tains in several other states. Miss Helen McMillen, president of tho State Association of Graduated Nurses, has sent out a circu lar, asking assistance In the plan. Its ob ject being to rnlse the standard of the profession In the state. The Central Board of Education of Tltts burg has recently mado an appropriation of 16,000 for the maintenance of summor 'playgrounds in that city this coming Bum mer. Last year an appropriation of S3.S00 was made. This Increased appropriation has . befen lifrgely influenced through the club; women of the city. Above every other effort the club women of Pennsylvania are working for better legislation governing child labor. Every dub In Philadelphia has a committee work ing for the reforms thut have been granted In view York and regarding the enforce ment Of which there has been so much trouble. Statistics show that children all over; . the state are being taken out of school while under age upon false state ments regarding their ages made by parents and the birth certificate which.
