SANITARY CONDITION OF TIE TREASURY
Result of an Examination Made
by the Health Officer
OTHER DISTRICT AFFAIRS

The sanitary condition of the Treasury
Department has been the'subject quite re-
Gently Of thorough investigation by
Health Officer Woodward and his assist
ants.
The large number of cases of typhoid
fever in the building that We're reported
caused TO little uneasiness on the part of
those in control and they were led to the
belief that there must be something radical
ly wrong in the sanitary conditions of the
building. Accordingly Mr.. Logan Carlisle
communicated with the health officer, and
the latter has caused a careful investiga-
ton to be made. Nothing, however, was
found that led the health officials to be-
lieve that the sickness was due to any
local conditions. The plumbing was care
fully inspected and tests made of all sup
ply. discharge and vent pipes to discover
any cause for contamination.
Health Officer Woodward has written q
letter to Mr. Carlisle setting forth the re-
suit of his investigation.
Will Make an Inspection.
Concerning the complaint of the Colup-
bia Heights Citizens Association that the
cars of the Capitol Traction Company OBJ
structed 14th street unnecessarily at the
ccmpany's stable, it is understood the Com
missioners will send an inspector to in
Vestigate the subject, and if unnecessary
obstruction is found the company will be
proceeded against for maintaining a
nuisance.
The COmpany's Liability.
An interesting question has arisen In the
engineer department concerning the liza
ollity of the defunct Rock Creek Railroad
Company for the payment of It's portion
OF the bill for painting the Rock Creek
bridge. The law provides that one-half
the cost of maintenance of all bridges
crossing Rock creek shall be borne by the
rallroad company using the bridge. Since
the bridge was painted the Rock Creek
railroad Company has been merged into
Inc Capital Traction Company. The pa
pers In the case have been sent TO the
to the liability of the latter company for
tne DILL and there is little doubt that he
Will hold that the bill should be paid by
the Capital Traction Company.
No Overhead Wires.
1t Is understood that the Commissioners
have decided not to permit the WASHINGTON.
Alexandria and Mt. Vernon Railway Com
pany to erect overhead wires and poles on
l4th street, until after it has secured the
necessary ground for the construction of a
slip for its ferry. This action on the part
OF the Commissioners will be taken because
the latter in their Interpretation of the act
chartertng the road believe that they have
no power to grant the permit for this road
tntli after the slip has been constructed.
ouch action on the part of the author
tiles Will seriously Inconvenience the rail-
road. 1t has already been decided that the
ground AUDITING the Potomac river at the
loot of 18th street, where the company
seeks TO construct slip, is the property of
the United States. For some time it has
been known that in the event of any diff
Guilty in obtaining slip privileges, the COM
pany proposed to utilize the Long bridge
h.,
Ged OF the company has been laid on the
south side of the bridge anticipating such
condition, and the company has made. all
arrangements, 1t is said, to come into the
District over the Long bridge. The new
obstacle, however, that has been enconter-
ed, will. it Is believed. necessitate congress
sional actor before the company can build
Its road within the city limits.
