Ho suggested that if one resident of each block in tho city .4 would ask every other resident of that block for a contribution of ten conts.tho names of tho streets could bo attached to lamp posts on the corners. Although the mayor has boon riding about tho BtroetB of Lincoln for years, ho is often puzzlea when ho leaves the centre of tho city to know just whero ho is. Suck has beon the exporienco of ovory ono who has tried to find hie way about the outskirts of Lincoln. Tho rocioty thought favorable of undertaking and inciting this reform. The society directed tho secretary, Mrs. Richardson, to draw up and com plete an ordinance prohibiting oxpoc toration in the street cars, it being un derstood that the street car authorities were willing to see that such an ordi nance was complied with. It might be well to extend the ordinance so that it may apply to the theatres and public buildings of the city also. The mayor thought it was not practicable to de crease the number of loafers that ob struct and make filthy the sidewalks of I the city. Although every merchant and banker whoso doorways thoy effect, complain of them as an unmitigated nuisance.
