A Working Mans View of 1t.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In The Star of the 10th read the aitera-
lions suggested in the PETER bill by the
District Commissioners for the public good,
as they claim. The PETER bill calls for eN-
tensive improvements in the District to give
employment to the many unemployed at
81 80 per day of eight hours. Our honorable
Commissioners say it is too much wages Tor
a laborer and would injure private firms and
contractors. Now, i would like to ask our
honorable Commissioners how they would
like to work for 81 per day and support
family and pay house rent? They would
soon commence to cry poverty. Then, after
the bill has been relieved OF its Objectionable
feature-that feature being the paying of
the laboring man s1.5O per day for eight
hours work-they then urge upon Congress
the speedy passage OF the bill for the benefit
OF the unemployed of the District. Oh,
what a charitable body our honorable Com
missioners are! They would open their
tender hearts in favor of the army of I'M
employed by paying 81 per day for ten
hours work; they would then proceed to
ask for per cent District of Columbia
bonds to the amount of SI,JO0,OOO dollars
payable fifty years after date as they con-
slider the money market Is favorable to the
sale of bonds. If it is favorable to the sale
of bonds. why Is ii not favorable to paying
the laborer $50 for eight hours work?

building Regulations.

The Commissioners are considering a new
amendment to the building regulations
which has for its object a change in the
method of building on small or shallow lots
Heretofore builders have taken advantage
of all the ground available and built the
houses the full depth of the lots. This has
BEEN the subject of much concern by the
Commissioners, who believed that in the
interest of health sufficient space should
be left for light and ventilation.
Several conferences have been held upon
this subject and the inspector of buildings
is now engaged in drafting a suitable regu-
lation covering the subject. The new regu-
lation will provide, IL adopted that here
after no building shall be erected within
ten feet of the rear line of the lot.
Abate "a Nuisance.
The chief of the bureau of yards and
docks has requested the Commissioners to
take some action to abate the nuisance of
the old sewer on 9th street southeast, Just
west of the navy yard
The Affidavit Sufficient.
Several days ago the Baltimore and Po-
to mac Railroad Company made application
to the Commissioners for permission to con-
solidate certain lots owned by it for the
purposes of taxation. The application was
accompanied by the affidavit of the attor-
ney for the railroad. and the question arose
whether il was competent for him to make
the affidavit required. The attorney for the
District in passing upon the case thinks
the affidavit of the attorney sufficient.
Against LicenrinE n Bar Room.
George E. Mattingly Of AIS F street south
west has written a strong protest to the
Commissioners against the continued IL
censing of the bar room No. 600 1-2 street
He says the place is within 400 feet of a
church and but square from the Amidon
School; further. that 1t is disgrace to the
neighborhood and should be revoked

as follows:
