point My recollection Is that there are
such restrictions at the drawbridges in

. . It waa brought to the mayor's Atten
tion that the county court is consider
ing the question: and that the ourt
waa disposed to take It up with tha war
department or any-other properly con
stituted -authority, with view to se
curing some measure of relief for; the
publlo. He was asked If- that would
be a proper. and effective course,

From tha tatement f pt those con
nected with the former movement ; to
mHmtm . t A m wKr 1 milaann'. It Is
gathered that the effort lacked concen
tration and Staying power. ' The In
tense 'feeling existing on thla subject
throughout the vast residence district
an -the seat aide was not centralised.
and opposed to It there, was well-directed
and concerted action by the river
men. who- are , unalterably against any
limitations whatever on free navigation
f the channel through tha drawbridges
at all boura.. '
, Warm But Om-lded.

office of Major Tuangf ltt the rJvermen

representatives from navigation; com
panies, towboata, and aawmlll concerns.
Opposed to this array of buslnesa talent
and physical fore waa on man a lone
representative from the east side Jo.

It iwas warm meeting, but a - one-

a report o It eould not well do other
than draw a document that ws far
from being an overwhelming Indictment
Of the drawbridge nuisance. . So far aa
appearances indicated - on , tha surface,
the east aide Improvement association
might have sounded at Washington Ilk

''Instead of keeping the draw open
for- several boats to pass, every time a

allow, the people Who have congregated
to pass over. Then open the -draw for

suit th majority f-the people.-
."If the draw la kept dosed for an

for them there will be so many to pass
that the draw will be held open for a
