The morning times., 1896-01-25

is probable that the Commissioners will
in the early future have n bill prepared to
regulate the merry go-round industry, in tie
same ma nner and for the same reason that
the pool tables are to be 1egisIatcd upon.
The decision of the police court is the
same In one case as in the other.
Proprietors OF the rlying-borsc plants are
enabled TO enter ncighborhood and set
up stand. II ever a nuisance, il cannot
be called such until IT is Put in operation.
The next move made is to tender the license
fee, which is at the rate OF So per day.
If, for any reason, the assessor declines
to issue permit, the proprietor sets the
machine in motion, and on the following
day repeats the tender OF the Ia wful fee, and
SO continues from day TO day, the only
remedy being through a prosecution in the
police court for maintaining a nuisance.
WHAT THE BOARD WILL ASK.
The experience of last summer Will, with
out doubt, cause the presentation of a
measure TO Congress giving the Commits
sioners the power 10 reject applications,
when in their own judgment the licensing
of the stand would be prejudicial to good
order.
The merry -go-rouDds have been 4 source
of a good deal OF friction in the rast.
The building inspector has completed a
draft of the plans for an isolatio hospital,

premises of the Washington Hospital Asy-
lum, where all minor contagious diseases

win Include a pay ward, and will cost
probably $500 or 81 ,O0O.
II is understood the construction of this
hospital viii be commenced very soon, as
there is n sufficient fund availa BILE TO pay
for it, aud the necessity for such an insti-
tuition is becoming more apparent each
year.
