"Curfew" Ordinance l*p Council decided on some more amendments to the "curfew" ordi nance. These include the changing of the age limit from 16 to 15 and fixing the summer "curfew hour" from 9 to 9.30 between April 1 and October 1. Council has handled this measure with kid gloves ever since it was introduced following a sort of a one's-afraid-and-the-other-dasn't" policy. Reports were read from other cities in which the measure is favor ably working out. At Mayor Royal's suggestion the Fifth and Emerald street playground measure was postponed by a "3 to 2" vote for a week until the Mayor can hear about the Hoffman's Woods site. Commissioner Bowman voted with Mayor Royal and Mr. Gorgas for postponement. New ordinances offered included the following: By Mr. Lynch—Permitting Phila delphia and Reading to construct a siding across Tenth street 380 feet south of Market to reach proposed new Montgomery & Co. storage plant. Amendments providing hour restric tions and use of street will be in cluded. Authorising sewer in Flor ence alley from 120 feet south of Verbeke to Verbeke street. Ordinances passed tinally included: Authorizing paving of Brown street from Seventeenth to Eighteenth; lay ing water pipes in Boas, from Eigh teenth to city line; leasing Island Park baseball field to Pennsylvania Exhibition Company for two years at SSO per year. Council Agrees by 3-2 Vote to Buy Cumner Plant Council by an old-fashioned "3 to 2" vote this afternoon approved Com missioner W. H. Lynch's recommenda tion for awarding the contract for the city asphalt repair plant to the Cum ner. Son and Company, Cleveland con tractors, at Its bid of $9,76 X. The Bar bar company made an effort to have the city buy its plant for $7,495. While the Barber company was low bidder Mr. Lynch explained to Council that his reason for recommending tIH! higher firm was because the Barber's plant was the same as a "portable" equipment, and of less capacity than the Cumner plant. Mayor Royal and Mr. GorgßS, of course, voted against the award; Messrs. Bowman, Lynch and Taylor voted to adopt the recommendation of the superintendent of streets and pub lic improvements.
