When the common fun- street. oroi nf oil the vir>tini5 tnnk nlnce. Mr Last night at the meeting of the committee on subway, of the board of aldermen. It was decided to advocate a subway for the railroad crossing at the comer of East avenue and A street. hTe following resolution was passed: “The committee recommends to the board of aldermen that a subway be built at the intersection of A street and East avenue to carry two tracks, one each for the Southern and Sea board Air Line railroads; that the ex pense be borne by the railways in ac cordance with the cost of the neces sary changes in its tracks; that the plans for the subway as prepared by the city engineer be adopted; that if the railways desire to have an addi tlonal track each, they be permitted to enlarge the subway to accommodate same; that we advise against more than four tracks under any conditions.” These resolutions were adopted af ter the committee had heard speeches from the railway attorneys, city attor ney, and citizens. Mr. Firth, the city engineer, submitt ed to his estimate of cost of the sub way. He had made plans only for five or six-track crossing. His figures for the cost of that were $75,000 and $68,000, acording to the number of tracks laid. The railway engineers sub mitted their estimate, $92,000, to Mr. Firth. Mr. Firth said that the best solution of the matter is the subway. His plan is for a 6 per cent grade to go below tlie tracks. This will necessitate a raise of 4 feet .in the railway tracks. Acording to these plans the grading of Trade street would have to begin at College. If the subway goes under only two tracks the grading can begin about 150 feet below College street. This would make the entire cost $35,000 instead of $75,Oo^, as called for by the other plans. Mr. John Van Landingham was in favor of the vhole matter being settled by t^e corporation commission. He read a petition that had been signed by many citizens of the city, asking relief in the matter. The cetition was sent to the railroad companies. It produced no results. Mr. Van Li^ndingham advocated the entire abo lition of the crossing by making the railway companies come into their property from the other ends of the line and not allow them to cross Trade city that power and the only thing that now remains is to pass the ordi nance. The courts could only dietclare this law invalid on the grounds of unreasonableness. It has not decuared exactly the same laws void in other ci ties under the same situation. He sug gested that the action would be has tened by securing a writ of mandamus which would be brought to^the atten tion of the present term of court and if an appeal was inade it could be made at the next term of the supreme court. Mr. Brenizer was in favor of immed iate action. Mr. E. T. Cansler, attorney for the Seaboard Air Line railroad, stated that his road was prepared to stand for any thing that was fair, and just and was ready to stand for their just share of the expense, but owing to the fact that these rallwaye came to this city to deliver freight to the very; back- Tibors of the jobbers that he thought that they should haye some considera tion. “It does not mean another dolalr in the pocket of the railroads that they deliver the good xt the door of the shipper. hTey could get just as many dollars if goods were delivered in one of the suburbs and the shippers had to do the hauling.” In consideration of the fact that the presence of the rail way tracks at this point is a favor to the shippers he asked that the rail ways not be made to pay the whole costs. He asked that the committee tell the railroads what they want built before they “loose the dogs of w^ay.” He stated that the Seaboard Air Line had never been notified that the city wanted and asked that they be given a chance. , The last speaker was Mr. W. I. Hen derson, a prominent jobber of the city. He said that if the railway was forced to move its tracks it would ^be the ruin of the wholesale district on Col lege street, as the business men there would be forced to follow the railway wherever it went. After the various parties had been heard the committee went into a busi ness session and adopted the resolu tion given above.

L. croslng and allow the Southern to remain untouched on the grounds that the Sotathern had only through freights using this crossing, while the Seaboard Air Line’s shift ing was done there. Mr. W. C. Maxwell was in favor of the subway. He said that in no city of this size should a grade crosisng be allowed. Mr. Herlot Clarkson expressed him self in favor of' the subway and desired to see the case brought before the corporation commission at once and at the same time take the matter in to the courts on the strength of the recent decision In the case of “Golds boro vs. Atlantic Coast Line” In which it- was decided that the city had the power to force the railway to do away with any dangerous crossings, at the railroad’s expense. He stated that In the case of obtaining the present Southern depot this plan was pursued very successfully. Mr. T. T. Allison, chairman of the committee from the Greater Charlotte Cmb, disagreed with Mr. Clarkson on the ground that if the matter was put in the hands of the corporation com mission they would have the power to divide the costs between the parties interested, which includes the city. In the court the whole cost would rest on the shoulders of the railways. He advocated that the city fix certain grades on East avenue, which the rail way companies will not be able to com ply with, and as there Is a law which forces the railways to comply with *he street grades they would have to arbitrate the matter with the city. It was atated that the city would not be liable for any damages caused by changing the grade of the street un less by the falling of a w^all or some thing of that kind caused by negli gence. Several years ago an ordinance was passed which shoiild have com pelled the railways to raise their tracks four feet to correspond to the 'grade of A street. This law was passed looking forward to the subway, but was never put into effect. Mr. Brenizer stated that the city had the right to demand that the railways build any bridges, subways of viaducts that the safety of the citizens made necessary, provided that power was in the charter and provided an ordinance was passed. The charter does give the HAPPY RESULTS fuel To increase German Navy.

C., Dec. 2.—For the gen eral evening session of the North Car olina Teachers’ Assembly yesterday the principal feature was an address by--Dr. Carroll G. Pearse, superin tendent of the public schools of Mil waukee, and president of the National Educational Association. School ad ministration as-it applies to the state and the municipality and the county was his theme and it abounded in pro gressive ideas of educational system, state and local. There was another ad dress by Miss Nan L. Mildren, of Phil adelphia, formerly a supervisor of primary schools in Maryland. She dealt more directly with class room v;ork in the primary schools and su pervision of primary schools. ;4H of the divisions of the assembly held sep ai-ate sessions during the day that were chock full, of interest to those technically Interested in them. The division of primary teachers heard an excerent address by Miss Lida B. Ernhart, of the New York City Public Schools on courses of study and .aims of the primary grades and relation ship of the primary with the higher grades. Miss Posie Doub, of Biscoe, led a discussion of this problem. There was a paper by Miss Anna Meade Mi- chaux of the State Normal and Indus trial College and another by Miss Anna B. Jarvis, of the Washington Public Schools on supervision of the primary grades. The Grammar School division heard Mr. A. Merritt, of the State Normal and Industrial College, on courses of study for the grammar schools and there was a general discussion that endorsed most heartily the ideas ad vanced by Mr. Merritt. Miss Johnsie Coit, of the Salisbury Public Schools, presented a paper on revisions for in-1 divlduality in organization of the gram- ‘ mar grades. f The State Association of School Principals heard a paper of great value on practical industrial v/ork In the North Carolina schools presented by E. E. Balcombe, of the chair of agri culture, State Normal and Industrial College. The discussion indicated a general progressive sentiment among the teachers In an Industrial training. The devision of city superintendents and principals devoted considerable time to the consideration of library fa cilities and the minimum that the aver age school should have In this sort of equipment. J. A. Bivins, ot the state department of education, and J. P. Breedlove, of Trinity College, went ilnto these matters very fully and elicited profitable discussion by the superintendents. Minimum physical equipment for city schools of various proportions came In for lengthy discus sion under the leadership of R. H. Bachman, of the Edenton Public schools and Joe S. Wray, superintend ent of the Gastonia Public schools. The division of primary teachers, of the Teachers’ Assembly, this aftei’noon elected as officers for the next year Miss Edith Royster, Raleigh, presi dent; Mrs. Joseph E. Roberson, Dur ham, vice president; Miss Irma Carra- way, W’ilson, secretary and Miss Annie Jarvis, of Washington, treasurer. The other divisions of the assembly will elect officers Saturday. Present Catie.to Dr.'Joyner. During the morning session of the county superintendent of schools there was a pleasln .special feature in the way of a ,.*esentation of a gold headed cane to Dr. J. Y. Joyner, state superintendent, who is an ex; officio president and presiding officer of the State Association of Superin tendents. The presentation was with the love and esteem of the one hun dred county superintendents and the acceptance was with deep feeling of ap preciation on the part of Dr. Joyner. revent your common sense.
