SEVENTH STREET ROAD SALONS
Reply Of Commissioner Douglass to Mr..
Il. III. Warmers Letter.

Recently The STAR printed the letter of Mr.
B. H. Warner to the Commissioners with refer
ence to the saloons on the 7th-street road.
The answer was sent today. In it Commits
sioner Douglass says:
1.-THE inclosed printed copy of the new regu-
lations for the licensing Of bar rooms will,
trust, go far to satisfactory answer to your
published letter Of August 10, 1885, BY care
full attention to the provision Of these regula-
tons you will see that the board have striven
to throw all the clogs they can about the
abuse Of the license system. The citizen. how
ever, who feels as deep an interest in this
matter as We know you do. must not forget his
duty in the premises. On him. as well as on
our oricers, we must rely for such exact and
definite information about persons and places
that will justify our intesposition. The infor-
nation should be given as early as possible
before November l where protests are
filed against the granting of license. The
Commissioners merely executive officers
under law providing for liquor licenses. and we
cannot practice prohibition under the guiss of
license. no matter what our individual opinions
or preferences may be. Our power is one of
regulation and not destruction. In re-
gard to the It'll street trouble YOU
viii find that paragraph 8, on page
8, OF the regulations is, we think, well calcu
lated to restrain the abuse Of the license system
in that locality. The radical difficulty. after
oil, is with the weakness Of the present funda-
mental law. That needs early and thorough
attention at the hands of Congress-"

HE SHOWED THEM THE DOOR.
A South Washington Committee Has .
Lively Interview with Maj. Raymond.

There was quite lively exchange Of words
in Commissioner Raymond's room this morning
between Mr.. B. Leonard and Major Ray
mond- Mr.. Leonard was one OF COM
mittee representing the property owners
and residents of I'd street between
and K streets southwest who called to learn
why their street had not been improved as re-
CURED by the appropriation bill, which con-
tanned an item providing for its improvement.
The engineer department has thought it best
to leave of the curbing of streets
which we're regarded as likely to be i'm
proved soon with q concrete pavement,
as the cost Of resetting the curb
Heretofore, in grading and regulating
a street, it has been customary to put in curb,
gutter, sidewalk and gravel roadway. The
gravel roadway has proved unsatisfactory, as
after rain it was no better than q
dirt road. The plan was developed Of
substituting for these gravel roadways
good macadam roadways so laid that when
the time came to pave the street the mac
adam would serve as foundation for the
asphalt pavement. It has also been found
that, in order to offset this Improvement in the
roadway, the curb would have to be left OF,
else this class OF improvements would cost
great deal more than formerly. The curb is set
in all cases, however If there is any old material
on hand, but left off where new curb has to be
provided.
Mr.. Leonard did not understand this and ex-
pressed his sentiments to Major
Raymond in rather forcible lam
guage. The major replied that if they
had no further business he would like to have
his time and motoned toward the door, but
the committee stood firm and insisted upon
being heard. One of the committee seemed
amicably disposed, and Major Raymond di-
rected his attention to him, explaining why the
curb had not been set. This served to
pacify the remainder and they withdrew. Mr..
Leonards associates on the committee were
James Black, J. ]. Brosnan, Robert O'Neil,
Charles Parker, Philip n. Dryer and John
RrOsnan
