DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Can't be Constructed Now.


A number of applications have been
made of late for a sewer to be construo ted
under the assessment system in alley In
SQUARE 49, Georgetown. Today Capt. Beach,
in his rel TT to the Commissioners, says
that the sewer cannot be constructed, for
the reason that the health officer is unable
to certify that this sewer is necessary fo'
public health, safety or comfort, and for
further reasons that the owners of the bal
ance Of the property, which would be as
ST ssed for his sewer, object to It's con-
struction under the assessment system.
Continuing in his report, he says: This
sewer is under the provisional schedule of
sewers to be built during the fiscal year
1896, provided Congress appropriates funds
sufficient, but can be constructed without
delay, provided the applicants deposit with
the collector of taxes of the District of
Columbia the sum of $i52, one-half the es-
timated cost OF sewer.
Infected Animals to BE Killed.
The chief of the bureau of animal in
dustries recently made an inspection of
the herd Of cattle at the Washington Asy-
lum and found that nine of them had
tuberculosis. He recommended that they
be slaughtered at once and the stable
inspected. The bureau allowed $50 for
the cows destroyed. The slaughter of these
animals was found necessary for the fol-
lowing reasons: There was danger OF the
attendants contracting tuberculosis from
inhaiirg the dust of the stable. There is
danger to the consumers of milk, because al
though the instructions are to boil this milk
before using there is always a possibility
that careless help may not carry out these
Instructions in all cases. New animals
brought into the stable while the diseased
ones are there will contract the disease,
and in that manner 1T VIII be kept up in
definitely. 1t is not consistent to require
individual owners to maintain their herds
In a healthy condition while herds belong
ing to the District are in such deplorable
condition. The Commissioners in acting
upon the recommendation issued an order
for the killing of the animals.
Building Permits.
The building permits today were as fol-
lows:
John F. Burke, one brick building at
1914 18th street orthwest, to cost $4,000.
]. n. Reesor, one frame dwelling on Lit
tie Falls road, to cost 1000.
E. Kubel, one brick private stable in the
rear of 16 G street northeast to cost $500.
j. F. Lorcumbe, one brick dwelling, 2023
r street northwest, to cost $500.

public hearing to those interested in the
opening of ar alley in square ~. Mr. NJ l.
Weller was the only one present. He op-
posed the project.
