Sir: most respectfully call your attention

The communication in question is anonymous,

"Now as to the inside facts" The lady who,
as your correspondent states, was thawing the
pipes and simply allowing the water to run in
connection Herewith did not make any such
defense when / called, but stated TO me that
she allowed the water to run to prevent freez-
ing. 1 simply reported the facts as l found
them and acted in accordance with the orders
Of my superior officers.
''Now to unjust determinations The
great waste of water is not with the nobs and
nabobs, for the reason they pay the necessary
price to have their plumbing properly pro-
tected, that is, the pipes placed in proper
warm positions and with the necessary stop
cocks, &c.
The great waste of water will be as a general
thing found among the boarding house keepers
and room renters.
Your correspondent 1 think has imposed

office was caught with the water running con-
tinuously in the water closet. He was neces-
sarily brought to trial for wasting water, and

The Water Pipes.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

ences of not only hundreds, but perhaps thou
sands of housekeepers and property owners in
this city (including the writer in his just COM
plant against the city authorities for allowing
the water mains to be planted so near the sur
face Of the streets. Go where you may in any
section of the city at this time and you will see
plumbers, with numbed and aching hands,
busily engaged in excavating for frozen water
pipes, and in nine cases out Of ten the trouble
il found at the main. which Is generally placed
but about twenty-four inches below the surface,
Is the trct by recent ctual measurement on 9th

wonder they freeze during such weather a. We
have been having for the past several weeks.
In view Of these facts, therefore. / think the
city government, or whatever authority is re-
sponsibls for such misdeeds in this municipal

the aggrieved citizens, or at least be made to

Local Relief Depots Suggested.

To the Editor of The Evening Star
The distress among the UNEMPLOYED on ac-
count Of the continued cold weather is growing
more terrible every day. Thousands of hard
working people are idle because they are
literally frozen out of work. We have not
had cold weather here for seven years that has
interfered with outdoor work of any kind, even
building operations have been carried on right
through the winter. These people have had no
experience in recent years Of what a cold win
ter is, and it is no wonder they are not pre-
pared for it. Many of them depend upon the
labor of today for tomorrow's bread. OF course
some Of them will begin bank account Just as
soon as they get to work again and thus be pre-
pared for winter. But they must have
help now. Much has already been done. much
more must yet be done. Systematic organized
effort will be most effective. The writer sug-
gests that interested persons residing in various
portions of the District form relief associations
and establish local depots for the collection of
supplies. In this way it will be made easy to
give and many who might neglect the matter
altogether will be encouraged to contribute
something.
Citizens residing in the vicinity of Howard
University have determined upon this course.
meeting and donation party has been called
to meet tonight, Monday, at the home of Mai
G. A. Fleetwood, 2230 9Th street extended,
when an organization will be formed to work
through the winter. All residents of that
vicinity are requested to attend and bring
something, money, food or clothing.

either from indisposition or because not in
dorsed in the manner required.
1t Is now proposed, as L am Informed, to in
sert the word white in the constitution in or
der to thus prevent any persons Of African de-
scent from becoming members.
This is a stop backward. 1t is contrary to the
spirit of the age. The league has prospered
and grown nightly under the constitution as
1t is Why alter it because of a negro scare?
The negro has not exhibited a disposition to
enter the league so far as l am Informed. No
self-respecting colored person will attempt to
force himself where he is not wanted.
The course proposed will not help to gain
and hold the respect of fair minded and pro-
gressive people for the league, which is now
held in high esteem mainly because of its noble
work for good roads.
Let us take no step backward because of
blind. unthinking prejudice and of false alarms
and fears.
IL the membership feature of the constitu-
ton is to be tinkered would suggest the adop-
ton of an associate membership plan, whereby
persons who are not cyclers, but are in SYM
pathy with the league in its labor for highway
Improvement and who desire to receive it's
periodicals and to aid in its prosecution Of
effective work for good roads can become ad-
visory and non-voting members. The wheel
men. or active members. could thus retain con-
troll of league action and at the same time gain
powerful auxiliaries in the grand work for good
roads. A. P. DUNLAP.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
From all quarters of the city we hear COM
plants of frozen water pipes. Even many of
the public hydrants are stopped for like cause
Surely there must be remedy! Considerable
is said about ''modern styles Of plumbing" as
if that kind never freezes but hundreds Of our
best houses now obtain their water supply from
the neighboring pump. In the cities of Minne-
apolis and st. Paul. where the thermometer
often falls many degrees below zero, one
seldom hears of frozen pipes. In those places
the service pine" Chat is the pipe that con-
veys the water from the street main to the
building) is required to be sunk at least nine
feet below the surface of the ground and
'shut off, is placed where it enters the
premises. There the soil is sandy and any
waste water at the stop cock sinks into the
ground. In our city the soil is generally clay
and the waste follows the pipe, often to do
edies.
l. Our service pipes should be placed
deeper IN the ground and a blind drain made
at the stop cock box to carry the water away
from the pipe.
2. There should be 'shut off, where the
pipe enters the house, and the occupants should
be advised to always open every spigot before
shutting of the water, and thus allow the air to
enter the pipes and empty them.
3. Fire should not be permitted to 60 out in
extremely cold weather in rooms whore pipes
are exposed or where there is water back or
boiler.
4. The privilege should be allowed tenants to
let the water run slightly at certain times
This, In fact is the only remedy in many prem
fses during the present season. T. A.

The Lesson of the Winter of 1S92-93.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The winter of 2-93 has indeed been q
essen to the people of this section. The houses
here, and all the sub-comforts. in the form Of
water and gas, connected with them, stand
much in need of Improvements.
If the houses we're built better, more after the
manner of northern than Of southern houses,
they would be comfortable as thev now are
in summer, and far more comfortable in win
ter. Take the frame houses. The custom here
is to nail the weatherboards directly upon the
studding. The first cost is undoubtedly much
cheaper, but there is little comfort in them
when the mercury gets below the freezing point
Fuel bills are enormous and yet the houses are
not comfortable. One is the while heating too
much outside air. and reminds us of the story
of the old skipper in describing to the lands
man the ieaky condition of his vessel In going
across to Europe, he said. he pumped the At
lantic ocean through her four times So with
these houses built for summer and not for
winter comfort.
Then in the brick houses there is not atten-
ton enough paid to the Joints about the win
dows. In northern cities brick house of any
pretentions will be built with hollow walls, and
many in addition to this will be furred with
inch strips. This. together with storm windows,
makes house comfortable. You can control
your own ventilation and not have it controlled
by power without, with no 'cut off, to regu-
late quantity.
Then this protracted cold spell has developed
the fact that the city regulations in regard to
water pipes are not what they should be- There
is a law against the waste of water, which, it
would seem, was. under ordinary circum-
stances, very just and proper. But a more
than ordinary condition, most extraordinary
condition. comes upon us. and i've lambs
who have kept our end Of the pipes out Of
danger suddenly find ourselves cut short of
our water supply. from no fault of ours, for the
embargo Is outside, somewhere between the
house and the water main. The only remedy
for this is, let the water run. as evidently many
thousands have done. So it becomes a question
of securing water TO your house by letting the
spigots stand open on cold nights or keeping
them closed, thereby giving the water in the
pipes far better opportunity to freeze and
shut off your supply. As these pipes are now
there is remedy for the faulty laying of
them. The poor householder has no control
over them but to let the water run. To punish
householders for trying to thus secure a supply
of water seems most unjust. Cannot our in
ventive electricians now come to the front and
solve the problem of freeing these pipes? Can
they not in some way introduce a wire into the
pipes and by the power of electricity thaw them
out! NIP.

wouldn't Wear a Girls Coat,

One day last week, when the thermometer
registered not far from zero, two small chill
dren called at the fourth police station and
asked for assistance.
They we're brothers, and the younger of the
two was hardly four years old. He had no
overcoat and looked as though he was nearly
frozen. Lieut.. Vernon was in tho Office at the
time, and. looking over to a pile of clothing, he
noticed what looked like a good, warm coat,
and it was just the boys size.
"Come here, Jack, he said to the boy, who
was standing there trembling from the effects
of the cold.
The little fellows face frightened and he
walked over to the desk in anticipation of a
welcome surprise. The coat was put on him
and it fitted as good as any tailor-made coat
out of first-class establishment.
The older brother was given his allowance Of
food and then the young pair started out, when
the younger one, looking up in the lieutenant
face, said: Oats durl's toat. l amt dom
ter wear it,
And he took off the coat and again went out
in the cold world without an overcoat to pro-
tect him.

The District government has had its inspec-

nine Of the gas lamps reported were burning so
low that practically they were Of no value in
lighting the streets. certainly not the service
called for by the contract for street lighting"
In order TO correct. if possible, the evil Of
street lighting (notably in Georgetown) he
recommends that a ruling be made to the effect
that gas lamps having an indicated pressure OF
three cubic feet Of gas per hour or less shall be
considered not lighted. The Commissioners
hava approved this recommendation and an
order tothat effect will be issued.
