of garbage, have each placed in Mr.. War
fields hands q bid for his favor.
1t is Mr.. Warfield's idea that he is privi-
legged to examine the statements made ofthe
several methods, and to present to the Com
missioners his estimate OF the merits ofeach,
with an expression Of his preference. He is
also Of the opinion that the Commissioners
will be guided largely In making the selec-
ton by the exhibit heexpectst to make.
In each Instance Mr.. warfield is guar
anteed against damage or loss by reason
OF a possible failure of either system to
do the work. and the choice will there
fore be a matter OF concern more for the
District than for Mr.. Warfield. The fail
ure OF either system 10 perform its ad-
vertIsed functions win involve its re-

the Introduction of another.

that $40 900 be estimated for in the next

During the year the number Of water
meters IN use has Increased from 2O2 to
231. 1t is evident. Capt. Burr says, that
water meters will not be introduced, as re-
quired by law, until stringent measures
for en- forcement are Aken. There are
more than 500 places, he says, that should
be supplied with meters.
LIGHTING THE STREETS.
The street Lighting service, he says,
is about as heretofore. The strets are
difficult to light ON account of the multi
tude of shade trees. The high price charged
for electric lighting, a nd the unsuita bleness
OF lights at wide intervals, have prevented
extension of the electric system. The
street lighting service, SO far as the appro-
priation permits. has been satisfactory.
An important change should be made, he
says, in the number of hours for gas
lighting 1t has been impossible, Capt
Burr says, under the acts OF appropriation,
to secure from the gas companies more
than the minimum service for the maxi
mum price The number of hours OF total
da rkness, from the end OF evening twi-
light to the beginning OF morning twilight,
Is 3, ,116 in year.
Uncertain twilight and unreliable moon
are called upon to furnish S46 hours of
lighting per annum. Ali lamps should be
lighted at least thirty minutes before and
after evening and morning twilight, re-
spectively.
A marked increase is asked for in the
appropriations for street lighting. Ihe
existing service is not satisfactory or In
keeping with the high standards main
tanned in other branches OF the city govern
ment.
Estimates for 1897: One inspector gas

This morning Williams came to take his
bride elect for trip To the Soldier
Home. While there a man named Hill,
who is friend of Williams, presented
himself at the ba sement door aud inquired
for him. Williams ON hearing Hills
voice ran and hid. This action showed
Taggart that williams did not want to
see Hill, SO he responded that he was not
there.
HE HAD HILLS GUN.
After Hill had gone Taggert went In

the reason that he did not want to nea
Hill was that he had his pistol and was not
ready to give it up. Then dra wing the
weapon from his pocket commenced to
play with it.
Taggert looked up and said he would be
through in minute and would look at
the pistol. Then he went out into the
