Several South washingtonians were at
the District building today to make inquiry
| as to a certain report from tue health Of
flee which they understood had been made
relative to the merits OF the Brown crema-
tory, now in operation at the foot of South
Capitol street. which report is said to IT.
fleet some " hat upon the utility OF the fur
mace.
1t is recalled that when DR.. Woodward
returned from his recent inspection or creIIi-
atories else where, he made u report to the
Commissioners in which the Washington
plant was referred to as the 'so-cahed
Brown furnace" and certain differences
III construction aud operation were noted.
1t is understood now that DR.. W oOdward's 's
trip was made for the purpose, in part, of
ascertaining those very differences. He Is
said to have discovered defects in the South
Washington crematOry. The complaints that
came in from the people OF the bad odors
rampant induced the belief that after all
som, Improvement might be made in the
method of conducting the incineration. and
the citizens association has been told the
doctor made quiet investigation to satisfy
himself as to the facts.
LOOKING FOR A REPORT.
The next natural conclusion is that a
report would be made OF his discovery
and the committee came up to see about 1t.
1t appears that the he alth officer either
has made or will ina Ike report recommend
Ing that the defects in the plant, what
ever they ma y be. shall be remedied and
1t is the further understanding that the
owner and builder of the plant will be
asked to explain.
The infere nee from the ia cts given is that
DR.. Woodward located some obje ctiona BILE
odOfs justly traceable to the plant. He
has gone so far as to say that It's sanitary
arrangements are not altogether satisfac-
tory and that the actual capacity OF
the furnace is not as great as he had been
led TO believe it would be. The crematory
is on trial, however. and until the ninety
days of actual service shall expire the Com
missioners will not pass iud gment.
OLD LIBERTY MARKET CLAIMS
As supplementary to the portion of their
report of March 81 upon House bill 1873,
which relates to claims for property taken
and damages growing out of the destruCt ion
and removal OF Northern Liberty Market,

terday transmitted certain papers, showing
the authority under which the work Of

These papers consisted of a letter from
Major o. b. Babcock TO GOV. Shepherd
requesting the removal and a letter from
Thomas NJ. Plowman to Gov. Shepherd,
in which he reports that the order for re-
