MANY EFFORTS FRUITLESS

ing Estimates for Next Years APP
preparations Increase OF Pension.

The two systems with which the District
| authorities propose to inauguratc the new
departure in the garbage disposal line have
been selected. but pending The decision as
to the northw est location for one plant no
announcement is TO be made of the methods.
Contractor Warfield called yesterday with
his report of the selections he had made from
which 10 cb oosc the ite and II was believed
that he and the board would speedily agree.
| That done, it remained only for the Com
missioners to give Mr. Warlield lis instruc-
tions and the work of construction by the
| crematory company would be under way
inside of ten days.
For come reason. and contrary TO general
expectation, Mr.. Warlield wac permitted TO
depart once more without authority TO pro-
ceed with the building. The board reserves
the right to approve OF the location selected
as well us to desig nate the particular crena-
tory to be employed.
II therefore ucvolycs upon the contractor
to procurea site taat " illmcct with approval
and this, itappears, he has not yctsuccceded
in doing.
A new point has arisen in the matter of
applying the order of the Commissioners
to the water meter service. which the board
has considered and referred To- the attorney.
The suggestion is that the proper time
for the Introduction of the meters is at
the beginning of the fiscal year, and not in
October or at any other subsequent date
in the course OF the year.
EXPIRES BY LIMITATION.
The period fixed ny the Commissioners
in their recent order, during which livery
stables, manufactures. hotels and other
large establishments were required To
introduce meters, expires by limitation to-
day, but there will be nosummary execution
of the law against the delinquents.
Quitea number of the esta hlislncnts have
complied with the order, and others are ar
ranging to do so several having deposited
the herequiredsum in cash with thedepartment
upon an order to have meters introduced.
Until the attorney decides the point no
action will be taken by the board. The
penalty for noncompliance with the order
is that the water supply will be cut off
mthecase ofeach delinquent.
The Commissioners are busy with the
estimates for District needs, to be presented
to the next Congress. 1t was in order
that the report from the board of trustees
might be continued to completion without
interruption, that the Commissioners de-
Iayed the appointments.
Among other subjects under discussion
is that of the proposed municipal builG
ing, to which the board will give space
in their next report.
Congressman Bankhead. chairman OF the
committee on public buildings and grounds,
in the last Congress, and who was as such
frequently consulted upon District mat
ters, was in conference with the Commits
sioners yesterday, discussing matters that
will come up at the next session.
EXPERIENCED JANIToR REQUIRED.
The new business high school building.
with its increased number of rooms and
added heating facilities, reqhires ne serv-
ices of an experienced janitor, u, an ad-
vance in salary. The janitor at the Miner
building, with twelve rooms TO care for.
received $50 per month, but at the new
quarters there is need of a licensed engi-
neer, who, as janitor, will have eighteen
rooms and steam heating apparatus in his
charge.
The principal of the school, Prof. Davis,
TO request that provision be made for the
employment of Il competent man. Tenn
porary arrangements were suggested and
the board will consider the subject later.
Attorney Campbell Darlington, accom-
panied by Hon. A. NJ. Chapman and DR..
Muir, called upon the Commissioners
yesterday and asked that the pension OF
Mrs. Annie L. Sullivan, the widow of a
h. n
to $50 Per month.
Mrs. Sullivan's husband was a proba-
tionary fireman, not having completed
his first year as a member of the force.
The pension was therefore scaled, upon
the grounds that his short service did not
entitle the widow to a full rate.
The effort is to have her given the full
grade rating.
POINT OF DANGER.
The attention of the Commissioners has
been called to the danger incurred by
pedestrians from the Columbia cable cars
upon leaving Mount Vernon Park at the |
Eighth street exit. Mr.. B. T. Johns, in
letter upon the subject, says children are
liable to be run over at tbat |
point, and suggests that the cars lie re- |
quired to run at a reduced speed between |
Seventh and Ninth streets. The communi |
cation has been referred to President |
Baker, of the Columbia line, with re- |
quest for his views.
