Traffic Ordinance
May Be Amended
An additional amendment to the
traffic ordinance now pending before
Council may be submitted on Tues
day, \vhich if passed will prohibit
the parking of any vehicles in Sec
ond street, from Strawberry to Wal- f
•nut streets, officials said to-day.
A few weeks ago when the ordi
nance was called for second reading
and the amendment changing the
speed limit was passed Park Com
missioner E. Z. Gross suggested re
stricting the parking of cars in Sec
ond street, but the other Councilmen
objected and no effort was made to
have such an amendment passed.
Since that time, however, an investi
gation of conditions has been made
and the ruling may be included on
Tuesday.
Final examinations for applicants
for appointment as city patrolmen
were held last evening. The civil
service board may submit to Council
on Tuesday a list of the names of
those who are eligible for appoint- ,
ment as police matron and for pa
trolmen.

ance, it is said, was due to the flag

man, Jr., instructor of the class, was
delighted with the interest shown
and says that she expects a large
number of men to be present next
week.
