Water Street Property Owners.
The plan heretofore outlined in The
Times for a change in the outlet of
Boundary sewer in the northeast section
of the city has been completed, and the
work will be commenced as soon as prac-
ticable after the first of July.
The contemplated diversion of the out
flow of sewage Will be by the cutting of
deep trench from the present outlet
at Eighteenth and streets to the point,
southeastward, where East Capitol street
terminates at the Eastern Branch.
This will give a good, natural incline
for the discharge of the sewer contents
and. avoid the stagnation that has been
SO long a source of complaint in the vicin-
ity of Isherw ood, where the marshy ground
catches an odorifeTous deposit during the
summer months. Tie present outlet is
often affected by the tide and b. <water,
and the change viii be hailed 18th great
satisfaction by the residents of the locality.
MRS. NORTON'S STABL E.
Property owners are taking considerable
interest in the controversy over the pro-
posed construction of a stable upon Mrs.
Norton's premises, as related i'll yester-
days Times, and the decision by Attorney
Thomas OF the legal points raised are
awaited with anxiety.
Senator Proctor, who resides OF No.
1885 L street northwest, incidentally re-
ferred to the matter yesterday when he
called TO apply for a permit for enlarging
his stables, and jocosely suggested the
propriety OF making his building large
enough to afford room for Mrs. Norton's
team. The Senator had no trouble in
procuring a permit, as his building does
not come under the prohibtive provisions
of the law.

The gas engine employed by Nelson, Morris
& Co, at their establishment on B street
streets, is alleged by the occupants OF ad-
iacent properly TO be a nuisance on account
of the noise II creates when the pump is in
motion.
Under the building regulations, as inter
preted by Inspector Brady, the location of
the engine there is without warrant, and
notice was served on the firm to dis
continue its use unless by consent of all
property holders within ninety feet of the
establishment. a permit shall be obtained.
The firm was represented yesterday before
the Commissioners by Mr. Henry Wise
Garnett, and the objectors by Mr.. T. A.
Lambert, and the case was argued from the
standpoint of each.
1t was cOntended by the firm that there
ought not TO be a regulation so sweeping
as to apply to an engine so small as that EN-
ployed, and on the otherhand an occupant of
Mrs Jasper's boarding house testified that
the noise made by il was a distuIber of the
peace and quiet OF the neighborhood. The
Commissioners rende red no decision.

uateS of the Normal and High schools

to whom notice has been issued, respect
lively, of their alleged trespass upon the

pancy Of business houses beyond the build
ing line, were represented yesterday be-
fore the Commissioners by Attorneys John
Selden, T. A. Lambert, Calderon Car
Isle and Reginald Fendall, who pro-
tested against the execution Of the order.
Their contention was that the title to
the ground occupied is III dispute, and
that the right OF the Commissioners to eX-
rfr-fs n ip
for the courts to decide. A test case is
now before the court, and the business
men insist that they ought not to be COM
PEELED at this juncture to vacate before
it is legally decided that they are tres
passers.
1t was stated that if the Commissioners
insist upon the enforcement of their de-
cision the parties in interest viii imIne-
diately apply for an injunction to restrain
the action of the authorities until the suit
referred to is decided.
a strong appeal was made yesterday
to the Commissioners in behalf OF the Home

rately stated by Mrs. Archibald Hopkins,
president; aud Mrs Frederick MCGUIRE
a member, of the board of managers The
ladies' represent that without government
aid the philanthropic work undertaken

they urged the Commissioners to include
