He pointed out that 14th last few days by the city as the supposedly final operation in a months-long treatment process, including the removal of streetcar tracks, was again torn up yesterday to uncover manholes.

"I think there could be greater co-ordination between the city and the various public utilities," Councilman Grant said. PENALTIES IN SOME CITIES He added that some ciUes, in cluding Winston-Salem, N.C., penalize utilities for tearing up streets within a certain period after they have been improved by the city. Councilman Grant asserted that city officials could have made arrangements for setting the manholes higher before the resurfacing job was completed, and thus averted tearing up the street. He said 14th Street was torn up at Harrison with a full trench, at Webster for several manholes. at Broadway for eight manholes and at Washington Street for Several manholes.

City Engineer Charles AJ Reed said the city set manholes needed for a sewer running down he middle of 14th Street at the proper height for the resurfacing job, but the other utilities. located on either side, couldn't be pre-determined. CLAIMS COST HIGH Reed was unable to answer Councilman Grant's question regarding the digging of a trench at 14th and Harrison Street. He contended that it would be costly to the city to obtain exact levels for manholes for the var ious other utilities along the street resurfaced within the Council OK's 2 Zone Changes Recommendations of the City Planning Commission in two re-zoning; mattersv were reversed today by the Oakland- City Council. An exception to use of oroD- erty regulations 'was granted to William Freeborn, of 6966 Colton Boulevard, for the construction of two eight-unit apartments at 59th and Dover Streets.

The exception to use was granted under-the. flowing con ditions: 1 That the building will not exceed two stories; 2 That construction will conform with plana Jh file with the Qity Planning Commission? 3 That all open spaces indi cated, on the plans, including a landscaped court and a parking area, will be provided; 4 That the exterior of the building must be approved by the City Planning Commission; 5 That' construction of the building must be started within one year from November 7, 1951. In the other matter, the coun cil granted an extension of a non-conforming use of property at 11007 Foothill Boulevard. There, Albert E. Jones asked that he be permitted to.

improve an existing garage in residential district. Freeborn had asked for re-zoning of his property from the two-family to the multiple dwelling district. ute for connections with various port Alameda and the uaxiana Airport. Principal objective of the ordinance, according to City Traffic Engineer Jay A. Czizek and City Planning Engineer John G.

Marr, is to free most of Mac-Arthur Boulevard, Broadway and other business thoroughfares of truck traffic. 'Trucking firms were consulted in the setting of the routes, so that no undue hardship would be imposed," according to Hilliard Wilson administrative assistant to City Manager John F. Hassler. Hassler is in Japan with Mayor Clifford E. Rishell on a good will mission.

Some of the criticism may possibly have been justified to 'slight degree. j. At hand, however, is an article front the typewriter of Miss Elij- nor temporary surgical expert on our staff, which should stand as a perfect example of authoritative reporting, It is based on a paper delivered be-1 fore the clinical congress of the College of "American Surgeons, ending today in San Francisco.

-j The article baffled our copy desk, but nothing baffles The Knave. Undoubtedly you will find it as interesting and informative as I did. Try to read it: i Extensive clinical trials haye established the substances strep toklnase and streptodornase as valuable agents- in the' management of clotted hemothorax and empyema. This conclusion was reached today by Drs. Oscar Creech, Michael E.

DeBakery, William H. Amspacher of Baylor University College of Medicine in a report to the American College of Sur- geons. i' There has been some hesitancy, however, to employ them during the immediate postoperative period pulmonary, resection- because of thej possibility that the fibrinolytic action would interfere with the healing of the -unchial stump and produce' secondary hemorrhage from the liated vessels. It was ound that the- healing process commences with the deposition of a bribrin plug at the distal end of the stump, which! is followed by a peribronchial and submucosal: fibrous tissue together with fa! growth of granulation tissue derived from the non-serous surface of the mediastinal pleuraJ Following ligation, the pulmonary hilar vessels are further occluded by thrombus formation proximal and frequently distal to the ligaturei the thrombus subsequently becoming organized. In view, then, of the significant role of fibrin in initiating healing of.

the pulmonary hilar structures, it seems reasonable a fibrin lysing system within the thorax during the first 48-72 hours' following fJulmonary resection might bring about dissolution of the fibrin deposits within and a bqut the bronchial stump and in. spontaneously throm bosed, unligated vessels. Reasonable indeed. The susceptibility of camne fibrin to the fibrinolytic process activated by streptokinase was demonstrated by the prompt ly- sfs of eight plasma' and four thrombin-fibrinogen clots when a solution of physiologic saline was added to the clots. In addition, it was shown that when a solution of streptokinase was introduced into the thoratic (pleased to meet you) cavity following pneumonectomy, the fibrinolytic process activated by the streptokinase solution remained active for at least eight hours following 'injection as determined by the vitro lasis of canine thrombin-fibrinogen clots.

Personally I have found other matters of great elucidation in the clinic reports, particularly valuable to one whose previous medical knowledge consisted of the realization that when you hit your thumb with a hammer you swear to ease the' pain.
