A NEW ORDER
which irEnforced VIII Seriously AF.
feet the BuiIding Interests of the
District.

which ifEuforced VIII Seriously AZ
feet the building Interests of the
District.
TnE CRITIC, some days ago, male note OF
an application OF the inspector OF Plumbing
10 the Commissioners, in which that on,lal
states that he Is unable to enforce the plumb.
ing regulations, and suggests that before
building permit be granted, a certificate
should be required from him dhc inspector
of plumbiug) TO the erect that the sewerage,
drainage, etc., OF the lot upon which the pro-
posed building is to be erected Is in
good sanitary condition and complied with the
plumbing regulations. THE CRITIC also
published the Inspector OF Buildings report
on the subject, expressing the opinion that
Such a Requirement should not be
Made
because he considered that whom n man com
piled with the building regulations and ap-
Piled for permit II was not allowable to
withhold It because the plumbing regulations
were not complied with, and for numerous
other reasons. on Saturday attention was
called TO the supreme contempt with which
Mr.. Entwislc's report was treated and the
agreement of the Commissioners to issue the
order requested by the Inspector OF Plumbing.
No comment was made upon the matter
further than advising that the efficacy OF the
measure be ascertained before Its adoption,
and yesterday the order went into effect
Among It's results were that all day people
were coming IN for building permits and the
inspector was obliged 10 refuse them aud re-
ing.
The Office hours OF that individual are from
9 TO IL a, M, and as there ia no ono with
whom TO file the application after IL O'Clock,
the majority Of the people will have to call
again ut the most inconvenient hour OF the
day, file their request TO have their premises
inspected, patiently await results and then
apply for the building permit, making rou.
tine so tedious and unpleasant that few Will
want TO undertake 1t.
The order does greater and more serious
harm. hOwpynr than merely N
builders and householders and causing un-
pleasant delay.
The Inspector of Plumbing has scarcely any
assistance; the number Of applications for
permits is at the rate of seven u day; the In
spection, If properly made, consumes some
time, and the result Is evident.
A builder who is prepared 20 get his permit
today, and begin work tomorrow, is bound
hand and foot until the Inspector OF Plumbing g
can inspect his lot, and these delays may
reach from ten days to two weeks. The loss
OF time early in the spring-on the very dawn
of the building season-will be n blow to the
building interests which the city Will feel FOL
q long time.

An Intelligent Legislator.

The great men are not all dead. The Con-
gresham who got up the following In u bill
now before the House can ''sling" words In a
way to make all of ''them id literary fellers"
turn green with envy:
The fact of the person that made literary
article not having had any part thereof or the
whole thereof suggested or communicated to
him in any manner and in any degree by any
other person, but which literary article, IL
conceived and made, has been originally con-
ceived and made by the person that claims to
be its author, in all its parts and as a whole,
without any other suggestions or communica-
tions thereon than in the fact OF the conceptive
and constructive mind-properties Of such per-
son, having acted themselves normally labora-
tive at his physical and chal.environments,
and I'm more or less knowledge OF past and pres
ent events, and also introspectiyely at himself,
have become suggestors and communlcators
TO him OF a subject Tor literary article, and
ON such subject and In the making of such lit
erary article and otherwise.

Mississippi levees power to originate

Mr. Hewitt, of New York, offered
resolution reciting the fact that the
Khedive of Egypt, had presented to
the United States an obelisk, known
as Cleopatra's needle, and rendering
to the Khedive the thanks of the
people of the, United States, for
gift which only the oldest of nations
could make, and the youngest could
most highly prize. Adopted.
A long and desultory discussion
sprang up as to the power of mem
bers to introduce bills through the
petition box instead of presenting
them in the open House; those
holding the affirmative of tina propo-
sition making strong point in show
ing that the practice of introducing
bills in that manner would result in
a large saving of time, and the op-
ponents of the proposition calling
attention to the danger there
would be of wrong reference of
bills, and claiming that measures SO
presented would lack the essential
qualities which would attach to it
if introduced in the ordinary way.
The discussion was finally closed
with the expression of opinion from
the chair, that the only way to get
the bill properly before the commit
tee, was to present it in open house.
The House then adjourned until
Monday.
