PUBLIC SERVICE ERRORS Too Many of Them to Suit the Public. If tho City I opaitmcnt of Public ?orvlco over gets thiough shtupcnlng Its teeth It should look after tho street signs placed at Interactions. Hundreds of thorn nro misspelled. Many of thom aro misleading. South Wells street at Cist slroot Is ttlll named on tho sign at that cor ner. S. nth avenue Sedgwick street Is misspelled Scdgowlck street on all signs. Tooker plnco, called alter ur. Tooker, tho Chicago Inventor of tho Keyless lire alarm box, Is mlsspolled Tucker placo. And so It goes all over tho city. Inspecting smokes la ovldently easier than Inspecting Bomo kinds of public utilities. W. T. Cummlngn, tho woll known englneor nnd contractor, has mado n lino jeeotd.

Why doesn't tlio alleged city de partment of Public Scrvlco got after tlio fraudulent weighing machines, with which the city Is infested? Can you guess why It doesn't? There arc 102,041 of these machines scattered all over the city on city sidewalks. It Is safo to say that 100,000 of them are out of order most of tlio time. They yield an Immense rovenuo, as oach imtron is obliged to glvo up one cent for tlio prlvilcgo of finding out how much ho docs not weigh. Another fraud on the public is tlio counterfeit gum vending cenMn-tlio (dot machine which In tlio majority of oases, takes the cent but yields no Win, Why is it that tho City Department of Public Scrvlco permits theso frauds to exist?

Tho casual obsorvor cannot fall to notlco that ono of tho crying nooda of Chicago Is Btroct numbora on tho buildings. Slnco tho passago or tho new stroot car ordinance which provides for tho stopping of tho cars nt ovon numbered cornors only, tho nbsonco of tho numbers Is painfully notlco able nnd much nnuoynnco Is folt In consoquonco.
