S. T. Thomas, attorney for the District. has
| expressed the official opinion that the Com

under present regulations, to carry out the
! recommendation of Health Officer Woodward
that the surface OF the street at the corner of
Seventh and Il streets northwest, occupied as
| a wagon stand, be drained into the sewer by
| a street gutter on X street.
| The second recommendation, however, to
require the drivers who occupy the stand to
| sweep the space daily is involved in doubt in
the attorneys estimation, though he deems it
not unreasonable that the requirement should
be enforced. He says the drivers occupy that
| portion Of the street more than others do and
| should keep it clean. He submitted a regula-
ton covering the case. The action was taken
upon the complaint of DR.. G. H. Bowen.
An order. in pursuance of Mr.. Thomas
| suggestion, amending section Z, article 4. of
the police regulations, was officially promul-
gated, requiring drivers to keep clean the
| spaces occupied by them and making failure
to comply misdemeanor, punishable by fine.
