ers' ONCE.
ADDITIONAL WATER SuPrLy.-The di-
rcctors of the Children's Hospital have
long been complaining of the inadequate
water supply which Is given to that insti-
tuition. The Commissioners have de-
cided to remedy this, and upon the recon-
mendation of Captain Lusk, couple
of service pipes, which will give all the
water necessary, will be connected with
the M-street main.
WILL MAKE NEW CONNECTIONS FOR THE
PosToFrIcE.-A few days ago the superin-
tendent of the Capitol Hill Postofiice be.
came alarmed lest the water supply OF
his office should be cut off. IL appears
that dentistl lives In the story over the
postofiice, at No. 400 East Capitol street,
and, when his water rent bill was sent to
him, he refused TO pay IL. AS the law for
non-payment of water rates could not be
complied with without cutting off the
postofiice from its supply, Chief Clerk
Beall of the Water Department addressed
the Engineer Commissioner, who has de-
cided to allay the fears Of the officials of
the postal branch by connecting the office
with special pipes to the street main. The
water supply of the derelict dentist will
then be cut Off
PROTEST AGAINST A TRrE.-In the back
pard of house 1854 b street southwest a
big tree grows. II Is getting so large now
that its branches obstruct the view from
the windows of house No. 1852 and its
roots crawling under the fence have found
good growing place in the back yard of
the same house and are injuring the grass.
SO says Mr. A. p. Rider, who has written
to the Commissioners, c0mplaing OF the
tree and requesting that its encroaching
propensities upon the adjoining property
be cut short.
ANGRY LIQUOR MES.-To.day is the last
the applicants for liquor licenses have
to square themselves with the Com
missioners and satisfy them that licenses
ought to be granted. Many of the appli-
cants who have heretofore been refused
have already made or will make a last
desperate effort to obtain legal permission
to continue their business.
of the rejected applicants'npon the lieu
tenants and police officers who, out OF
prejudice or other reasons, have made re-
ports to Major Moore or the Commission
ers. In number of instances men who
are known to be continual and open vio-
lators of the law in some of the precincts
have been fayorably recommended, while
others who have aimed to conduct quiet
| places and abide by the law have been re-
fused. A number Of the proprietors of
| saloons who have had their licenses re-
| fused in consequence of these reports pro-
| pose to expose some of the officers in the
work they have done.
