NO PAY FOR LABOR DAY.
District Per Diem Employees. Must
Work for Their Money.

Work for Their Money.
Mr.. 8. T. Thomas, attorney for the Dis
trict. in an opinion rendered to the Com
missioners today, holds that District labor
ers are not entitled to pay on Labor day
unless they work on that day.
The opinion was called forth by a COM
munication. a few days ago, signed "A
Mechanic" who anxiously inquired If me-
chanics and laborers employed by the Dis
trict Of Columbia would receive pay on
Labor day IL they did not work on that
day. Attorney Thomas in his opinion says:
The act of Congress approved June 2S.
1eo4, entitled An act making Labor day a
legal holiday declares that the first Mon
day In September In each year, being the
day celebrated as labor's holiday, Is hereby
made legal public holiday to all 'intents
ana purposes, in the same manner as
christmas, the LIST day of January, the 22d
day OF February, the Both of May and the
fourth OF July are now by law made pub
lie holidays.
1t will be observed that the law is silent
on the question of pay. 1t results that
lAborers ON the District rolls who are paid
py the day are no more entitled to nay on
LABOR day than they are on other legal
public holidays. My opinion is that District
latorerS are not entitled to paw on Labor
day unless they work on that day"

M0tteF0 Oh interest," 10 NeBf0ent8 West
Of Rock Creek.
The specifications submitted to the con-
tractors, whose bids have been opened at
the District Office, call for the tearing
down Of the present front building Of the
market house and the erection in its stead
Of a commodious one-story structure to
run back to the one-story addition In the
rear. The market house as it exists today
has been declared by the building inspector
dangerous. The NJ street, or ''old market"
house. which is to be removed, was built
by Contractor Dobbins of Philadelphia, I'M
der the corporation officers of the town.
Dobbins had previously built a section of
the big conduit, from the distributing to
the receiving reservoir. The site on which
stands the market house was given the
town for market purposes by DIR. Beatty,
one OF the original owners OF the ground
on which Georgetown now stands. 1t was
contemplated at one time to build the pres
ent structure on Market street near Pros
pect, but an examination OF the records
disclosed the fact that II this were done
the title TO the original site would revert
to the heirs of the donor. What is known
as the Beatty and Hawkins addition to
Georgetown extends from a point some dis
lance below n to the corporation line on
the north and from a point east of sd to
one west of 34th.

gem has been secuFed. He was selected for
the uniform clea rness and robust, ringing
quality throughout the extensive range of

light to all who hear 1t. He is one of New
lork's most sought Efter tenors, and IL often
found at the Seidl, Damrosch and other or
chestral concerts, uratorios etc. He studied
for a time with J.1Bouhy of Paris, but his
style is Italian. The other members of the
quartet are Miss Martha Garrison Miner, a
brilliant young soprano; Miss Louise Engel
