Henry State and Church Streets PETITION IS OUT FOR A CROSSING LYELL AVENUE RAILWAY MAT. TER AGAIN IN PUBLIC EYE. THIS TIME MANUFACTURERS ACT Chamber of Commerce Fromotion of Trade Committee Circulating Document and Getting Many Signatures in Part of City Affected Manufacturers in Lyell avenue who have occasion to use the cars of the Buffalo, Lockport Rochester railway and those of the Rochester Railway Company have taken up the matter of the proposed crossing of the Charlotte branch of the New York Central at that thoroughfare. There has been a proposition up in recent months, and hearing was held by the Public Service Commission, which decided that it was a matter for the city to settle. A hearing was subsequently held by the Common Council, which said the subject was one for the people who were to use the crossings to decide among themselves.

Both an overhead and a subway crossing have been recommended, but the adjacent property owners say they are willing to have the crossing remain at grade. The crossing is wanted in order to permit the cars of the Buffalo, Lockport Rochester Railway Company to enter the city and run to the Four Corhers. At present the cars are compelled to stop at Kossuth street and Lyell avenue. Pasengers change there to the Lyell avenue stub line again at the New York Central crossing to the city care. This is a nuisance to all interests concerned, including the passergers.

The matter of a grade crossing at that point was taken up some tine ago by the Chamber of Commerce, and a resolution was adopted favoring the elimination of the grade crossing. The present petition, which is addressed to the Common circulated Council, was pre- the pared and is being by Promotion of Trade Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, of wheh Albert B. Eastwood is chairman. It has been signed by every manufacturing company in the adjacent territory, including the American Woodworkng Machinery Company, Chum Atkinson, Hopeman Brothers, Moerlbach Company, Crosman Frisian Fur Company, the Brooks Morley Company and others. It is also being signed by residents of Fifteenth ward who are employed in the factories in that part of the city, and by residents of other wards who are affected by the conditions.

The matter has been investigated with reference to traffic on the Buffalo, Lockport Rochester interurban line, The company has shown that during the month ending with November 18. 1908, it brought 15,571 pasengers into the city and took 13,884 out. "All passengers, one of the men interested circulation of the petition said, "were inconvenienced by the necessity of changing cars. The New York Central has sgnified willingness to make the change, but the people must decide whether they want an overhead crossing or a subway. It does not seem to me as -if more than 29,000 people should be inconvenenced every month because adjacent property owners do not want a grade crossing eliminated." HEAR ADDRESS ON INDIAN NAMES Daughters of American Revolution Have Interesting Meeting.

H. COOK. Notary Publle. LETTER OF REGRET FROM DR. D.

J. HILL Sent from Berlin to Society of the Genesee. Secretary Clarke, of the Chamber of Commerce, received a letter yesterday from Louis Wiley, of the New York Times, inclosing a letter received by Mr. Wiley from David J. Hill, ambassador to Germany, in which Mr.

Hill expressed regret at his inability to be present at the coming annal dinner of the Society of the Genesee in New York. when State Treasurer Thomas B. Dunn, of Rochester, will be the guest of honor. Dr. Hill's letter, which was postmarked Berlin, says: "If I cannot be present in the flesh.

am at least always present in spirit when the Society of the Genesee wits down to its annual feast. I am very glad you are to honor my townsman, the Honorable Mr. state fellow, treasurer, on February 6th, which adds another reason why I should be happy to be there to join in the celebration. "It is one of the sacrifices incident to representing one's country abroad that one must forego these delightful festivities, It has the effect, perhaps, of making one a better patriot; at least, more conscious of his patriotism, to dwell in a foreign land. I must confess that it has that effect upon me, although I have found much to admire in this empire, where my task is set and where I have found many friends of my country who are pleased to honor it in any person.

It is this mediation of friendship between the two great nations which constitutes the chief delight of my mission and compensates for the joys I must renounce in my absence from my native land. "Wherever I may be, I shall silently lift my glass on the evening of February 6th to the sons of the Society of the Genesee and its honored guest, and I find pleasure in the thought that I am of you, though I cannot be with you." WANT INVESTIGATION OF PATENT SYSTEM Inventors Would Have Commission Appointed. At the meeting last night of the International Congress of Inventors, Chairman Joseph J. O'Brien, of Patent Office Committee of the organization, submitted a brief outline of a general bill to be introduced in Congress seeking to bring about thorough investigation into every phase of the patent system. The bill involves the appointment of A commission of ten or more members which shall investigate patent laws, the value of protection, court procedure, condition of the Patent Office, abuses of law and practice, development of industries in America, knowledge relating to that development, needs of science and art, economic value of development, relative position of America in scientific discovery, foreign patent laws, negative tendencies, English and other non-worklaws, present exports, effect of foring eign patent laws on exports and undeeloped opportunities for expert trade.

"Such 11 bill." said Mr. O' Brien, "should carry with it an appropriation of $100.000 or more, and give the cominission definite powers so that the consular service, the census service and other services of the government would be at the disposal of the commission or easily accessible to it. The direct aim of the bill should be to improve immediately the conditions confronting the inventors of the country." At last night's meeting the constitution of the Congress of Inventors was amuded so as to limit membership to inventors and to make the annual dues $5. J. R.

Fortune, of Detroit, and 11. B. Waterbury, of Middleport, N. were elected to membership. Perry- Conner.

DELIVERY OF POWER TO BAUSCH LOMB IS BEGUN, 1,500 HORSE POWER WILL BE USED Present Delivery Is One-third of ThatAmount- Railway and Light Co. Will Also Supply Steam for Heating--Will Build a Substation The Bausch Lomb Optical Company has begun the substitution of electricity for steam in its plant at St.

Paul and Vincent streets, and within the next five months the entire plant will be equipped for operation by electricity. The power will be supplied by the Rochester Railway and Light Company, and the delivery of 500 horse power was begun on Monday. When the entire plant is operated by electricity, there will be a total of 1,500 horse power in use, the largest installation in this city supplied Rochester Railway and Light Company, to the Rochester Railway Company. The subject substitution came up some time ago in connection with the matter of providing power for the large addition to the works, then approaching completion. It was thought when the addition was planned that It would be operated by steam, like the remainder of the plant.

Electricity was suggested, and General Manager J. T. Hutchings, of the Railway and Light Company, was asked as to the cost of equipping the addition and of current. Eventually an agreement was entered into between the two companies, providing for sufficient current to operate not only the addition, but the entire plant. The apparatus needed was ordered and the wiring of the plant was begun, A sufficient amount of the installation had been completed by the end of last week to permit the delivery of power on Monday.

But that is only a small part of the work that is to be done. order to supply the entire comIn plement of 1,500 horse power, and to take care of other business in that section, it will be necessary for the Railway and Light Company to erect a substation in that vicinity. This substation is to be built at Gas and Vincent streets, the former being the thoroughfare that goes down the hill Wither provide gas. for This three substation 500-kilowatt motor generator sets and two steam units, and its eventual capacity will be 2,000 kilowatts, or about 2,500 horse power. The substation will be below grade, the roof of it being level with the grade of Vincent, street.

To provide for the vertical retort house, the large addition to the gas plant which the company plans to erect this year, it will be necessary to erect a house for unloading coal at Vincent and Gas streets. The substation will be untilized for this, the coal unloading plant being on the roof of the substation. The substation will be built of concrete, steel and tile, one story in height and 30 by 50 feet in size. The east wall of the substation will be built into cliff on the Gas street. side, while the other end of the build.

ing will be supported onl columns resting on the rock at a lower level. The Rochester Railway and Light Company will also supply the Bausch Lomb Optical Company with the steam for heating Its entire plant. This steam will come from the gas works, and will be transmitted to the Bausch Lomb plant through conduits constructed especially for the purpose. The entire installation will be completed as soon as possible. Grand Army Men Overlooked.

Surprise has been expressed in some that no member of the Grand Army fof the Republic has been named on the Executive Committee for the Lincoln Day celebration to be held in Convention Hall, when Governor Hughes will make an address. 'It has been suggested that as no seats are reserved some provision should be made for members of the Grand Army. The comments have come not from the ranks of the veterans, but from persons who think it would be a deserved compliment to pay the Grand Army. Annual Meeting of Hospital. The annual meeting of the Rochester Homeopathic Hospital will be held at the hospital, Alexander street, at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

Seven members of the Board of Governors will be elected, to succeed those whose terms will expire at that time. Any other business that may properly come before the meeting will also be transacted. The call is signed by Granger A. Hollister, secretary of the corporation. Brakeman Was Careless.
