DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Health Officer Hammett has notified the
Commissioners that II is in the interest of
public health that the alley in square IA,
between 33d, 3ith. NJ and Canal streets be
opened through the square and that the
property in the rear of 1880 NJ street be con-
demned.
Raising Hogs.
In reply to numerous inquiries concerning
the keeping of swine in the District of Co
lumbia, Health Officer Hammett has in
closed to the Commissioners a copy of the
law on the subject, which reads as follows
That the keeping, herding and feeding of
hogs in pens or otherwise within the cities
of Washington and Georgetown or the more
densely populated suburbs Of said cities is
hereby declared nuisance. injurious to
health, and any person creating or main
tanning such nuisanceS who shall fail after
due notice from this board to abate the
same shall, upon conviction, be fined not less
than - nor more than So for each and
every such Offense."
In connection with the above, Health Of
fcer Hammett says:
Il regard such suburbs Of Anacostia Hills
dale. Benning and all subdivisions in the
District as coming under the section quoted.
But there Is no objection to raising hogs in
the agricultural portions of the District,
provided that no nuisance that the neigh
borhood can complain about is created"
Grading Wanted.
petition presented to the Commissioners
today calls attention to the necessity Of
grading and regulating 18th street extended
between Columbia road and Park street, Mt
Pleasant. 1t Is stated that the thoroughfare
is extensively travelled and very much in
need of improvements.
Weighing Hay.
o. w. Guerdrum writes to the Commits
sioners today as follows concerning the cost
Of weighing by the public scales:
Permit me to call your attention to q
difference in rates charged at the public
scales near the Center Market and at those
in Anacostia and to inquire II the public is
not er titled to uniform rates at all the pub
lie scales 1t appears that at the Center
hay market any size Of load from 500
pounds upward Is weighed for So cents,
whereas In Anacostia If a load contains
more than one ton net land most loads dol
the charge is 80 cents. If a farmer selling
his hay in Anacostia cannot have 1t weighed
there as cheaply as he can in the city II
operates against him as we'll as against the
consumer in that locality and creates q
monopoly for the agents down town. Infor-
nation on the subject is of interest to good
government. Rates. instead Of being left to
the discretion of weighmasters and their
deputies, should be posted at all the public
scales for the benefit Of the public"
