Commissioners Powell and Truesdell spent
| two hours late yesterday afternoon con-
sidering the new police regulations, proofs
of which were looked over by the board
FRIDAY evening. Assistant District At
| torDey Pugh was with them.
Among tue new regulations being cunsid-
cred are several of general interest. Street
! vendors are to be held strictly to rule
| that they viii not be allowed to stand
| longer than necessary tn make n sale eX-
cept at certain designated spaces. Ir this
| Is enforced against all licensees many
| huckstcrS who now occupy certain favorite
places on the street for an hour at time
| in the early morning will be greatly incun-
venienced.
AS TO PAWN SHOPS.
| Pawn shop owners are forbidden to in
| terfcrc in the least with police Inspection
| upon penalty of fine. The punishment of
Violations of regulations regarding their
shops is changed Ia fine not tn exceed $40.
Bicycles are not 10 be ridden at high
| speed. The maximum likely to be fixed
is nine miles an hour. This regulation
| Will almost certainly be made.
A number of building regulations, which
more properly belong to the police list, Will
probably be put in their proper place and
| the rules governing rapid transit posted
| i'll all street cars. The movement made a
| few days since to test the speed at which
| the Metropolitan electric cars run, indicates
| that the Commissioners mean to furnish
| protection against too great speed on all
| roads.
| President Phillips, of the Metropolitan
| Railroad Company, made protest few
| days ago against the proposal OF the Tenley
| town Electric Line managers To have but
| one set of tracks for both its own use and
| the use of the Metropolitan Company where
| the roads cross oil Thirty-second street,
| Georgetown. Today the Commissioners
| replied TO him that this was a matter that
should be settled by the cunipanies.
Mr.. p. j. Fingles. No. 7O4 Fourteenth
| street, was refused permission To place
boiler for advertising purposes in front OF
| his place OF business: alsu DevereuN x
! Gaghan, the privilege to store iron pipe
| OIL the paved parking in front OF No. III
| Eleventh street porthwest.
The Veteran Volunteer Firemen's AssO-
citation was granted the loan OF the old
| bell formerly in the engine-huuse at Ana
| costa, to put In their museum. Mr.. James
| II. Richards, of No. 1l15 New Jersey
| avenue southeast, who made the appliCa-
ton, was told the bell must be returned II

200.
Mr.. Stilson Hutchns yesterday morning
Urged upon the Commissioners the propriety
| of granting a permit to place a big steam
engine and set of boilers in a brick
building, AS by 80 feet, near the north
west corner Of Fourth and X streets, just
south of the National Guard Armory, for
the ice palace and rink. Mr.. Gatti, as
stated by The Times, has objected, that
the building regulations forbid the placing
of boilers so near his residence.
Mr.. Hutchins said the south line OF the
proposed building would come within the
ninety-fout prescription OF Mr.. Gatti g
house, but the boilers were off at the
northeast corner of the building, about q
hundred feet further away and really at a
greater distance from Mr.. Gatti's than are
the boilers of the present ice plant in the
armory. The improvement would cost
$50. 900, and add another feature TO the
$3.50. 900 worth of buildings already put
there by himself and associates. Thef
interests ought to outweigh the teChnica
| point raised by this neghbor. He hat
offered to give Mr.. Gatti any reasonable
bond against damage from the ice plant
Other neighbors had agreed to let the worl
| 20 on. Commissioner Truesdell said they
were having some measurements made ant
would see Mr.. HutChins again during th,
day.
About $50 p. m. Messrs. Lee Hutchin!
and David Towers called again, but wer
disappointed. The Commits sioners had no
decided the question. 1t ia probable per
NIT will be granted.
The project on foot is to flood the mali
floor of Convention Hail every day ant
freeze the water so as to make a grea
artificial skating pond. 100X30O feet IL
area This is larger than the similar plac'
in cessful operation in PittSburg. wher
about $500, 900 has been spent upon tn
equipment.
The freezing Of the water on the rink floo
is to be accomplished by putting in Close
together series of eight floors, betweer
6S, 900 feet in all. for the conveyance O
ammonia. The rapid evaporation of th
ammonia will draw off the heat from tn
water changing ii into ice.
This use of the hall will occupy 1t fo
three months I'm winter to the exclusion o
everything else, but will not injure #
for meetings at other times.
SMALLPOX HOSPITAL.
The smallpox hospital. for the construc
ton of which 81 900 was appropriate
by the last Congress, viii be furnished il
about a month; for lack OF appropriatio,
to furnish it and to build bathroom. stabl
| and mortuary chamber it cannot be use'
until additional money can be voted. Thi
cannot he done for two or three months. pos
sibly will not be done for year.
DR.. Woodward had intended to ask 70
an appropriation of ST 5 900 to bring tn
hospital into service. but instead asket
that the matter be referred to the build
ing inspector for plans for the additiona
structures. Work on the plans has no
