RECOMMENDS THE REvoKtNd OF THE PERMIT.
June 8. 1892. permission was granted by the
Commissioners to the Georgetown and Tenley-
town Railroad Company to erect two arc cleo
trio light wires along the tops of their poles
from the power house TO the end of the line
for the purpose of lighting the properly of said
company. One of the proyisfons of
said permit was THAT wherever said
wires shall cross an intersecting highway said
wires shall be placed underground. - Capt
Fiebeger in letter TO Capt. Ro-sell this morn
ing says that although repeatedly called upon
to do 80. the company has thus far failed to
place said wires underground at the intersect-
ing highways. In forwarding the letter to the
Commissioners, Capt. Rossell recommends that
as the three months for which the permit was
granted have expired the permit be revoked.
GRADUATES OF DENTISTRY.
Some days ago the Commissioners asked the
attorney for the District TO interpret the pro-
viso in section three of the act
''for the regulation of the prac-
tice of dentistry in the District of
Columbia" The proviso referred to reads:
THAT all graduates of dental colleges which
require three years course of
study shall be entitled to certificates
upon payment Of the certification fee
and without examination as to their ouali-
fications" The attorney saws in his opin-
ion that the graduates holding a diploma
based upon two years course should
be recognized eligible under
this proviso and practice his profession in the
District of Columbia. This is applicable. be
saws, to such standard District colleges as have
course.
CARRIAGE AT SHEPHERDS wHARf.
The railroad men in the neighborhood Of
Shepherds wharf are up in arms again
on account of the intolerable stencil
incident to the dumping of garbage
around that point. Ii will be re-
membered that some time ago the Commits
sioners. after the health office had made an
examination of the case. ordered that there
after no more garbage should be dumped
within half mile of Shepherds. In
a letter to the Commissioner today Superin-
tendent Alvey of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road encloses a letter from the agent at Shep-
herds in which the latter says that the order
prohibiting the contractor from landing garbage
within one half mile Of Shepherds is of no
value in suppressing the nuisance heretofore
complained of. The odors arising from this
filth, he says, can be perceived for over a
mile and the atmosphere is laden with
the sickening odor. He urgently requests
the Commissioners to issue an order compelling
the contractor, il he lands garbage, TO do so
without the limits Of the District of Columbia
The Commiss loners will consider the matter at
the next meeting Of the board.
