The District Commissionerships.

Petitions are in circulation for the appoint
ment of Mr.. l.. G. Hine to be the democratic
Commissioner of the District in place of Mr.
Wheatley. The petitioners say:
Mr. Hine is about fifty-four years of age: he
| is native of the state of Ohio, but has resided
i'll this city since 1865. He is lawyer by pro-
fession, and began the practice of law imme-
dlately ON settling here and very soon took rank
as one of the leaders of the bar. He was several
times elected member of the councils of the
old corporation of Washington, and up to the
tlme OF his retirement from active practice, in
1857, to accept the presidency of the National
topographic company. he enjoyed large and
lucrative practice. He is u man of strict in
tegrltyN and honor, possesses fine executive
ability, Is calm and deliberative in Judgment,
Just In Ndecision, courteous in manner, and
amiable in disposition"
Mr.. E. G.. Davis, the present tax COL
lector, Is spoken of to succeed Mr.. Wheat
ley as the democratic Commissioner. His
hne business qualifications and high
personal character are mentioned in his
favor, and it is further suggested that his ap-
polntment as Commissioner will clear the track
for the appointment of republican to his
place as collector. The republicans say that
the track will be cleared anyhow for the ap-
polntment Of q republican collector, whether
Mr. Davis gets the commissionership or not
Some of the friends of DR.. Vim. Tindall, the
secretary of the Commissioners, have sug-
gested his appointment as the republican Com
missioner in place of Mr.. Webb They urge
that his large experience in District affairs his
creditable war record. and his undoubted re-
publicanism afford good reasons for his selec-
ton.

STREET CLEANING.
Decisions of Controller Durham as to
Existing Contracts.

Controller Durham has addressed letter to
Mr.. ]. T. Petty, tine District auditor, in which
he decides that the District Commissioners will
be authorized to sign now a contract with VIM.
E. Hodge for sprinkling and cleaning certain
alleys for the period of one year, ending
June 80, 1889. The contract was made In
due form, signed by Hodge, previous
to the Goth of last June, but through
some inadvertence the Commissioners
failed to atfix their signatures to it. Inasmuch
as Hodge has been performing the contract
duties and the Commissioners are desirous of
his completing his contract, the controller has
decided that their signature of the instrument
now will be legal and will entitle Hodge to
payment at the rate of 27 cents per 1000
yards, which was the maximum price fixed
by the act making appropriations for the
year ending June 30, 1889. Hodges contract
was for 301a cents l, 900 yards but the Commits
sioners have adhered to the provisions of the
act and have paid only q cents, which was ac-
cepted by Hodges, with the reservation of his
right to collect the difference.
The act for the expenses of the District for
the year ending June go, 1890, provides that
the payment for street and alley cleaning for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1889. shall be at
the rate and according to the terms of the con-
tracts now existing, under which it is being
done. The controller decides that under that
clause there can be no trouble about the pay
ment of the contract price according to the
contract made with Mr.. Draney for cleaning
the streets for period of five years from July
1, 1887, at the rate of 35 cents 900 yards.

EAIRA WOHh FOR CLERKS.
Long Hours In the st-Ohlce Depart.
ment.

The rush Of applications for post-offices has
reached such proportions that Postmaster Gen.
eral wanamaker has directed that all clerks in
the first assistants Office and such as may be
required from other bureaus begin work at 8 80
each day. and continue until o'clock.
A similar order was issued at the beginning of
the last administration. As there are some
$1,000 fourth class post-offices and some $500
presidential Offices and several candidates for
each office, the amount of work that is re-
quired for the clerks who have to handle
and classify the papers, can be, to some
extent, appreciated. The same order
as to hours will apply to the clerks in the dead
letter Office until the work now in arrears is
brought up to date. This order will probably
continue in force for three or four months.
Instead of confning the extra work to the
clerks in the first assistants Office, all the clerks
in the department viii be invited to assist Fif-
teen or twenty clerks from the different bureaus
will be detailed on different days to return at
night and work on the business that has accum-
ulated
