Mr. Mcmillan wants one of the District
| Commissioners orders done away with.
There are some things i'll which he does
, not agree with the three gentlemen who
arbitrarily guide the destiny of District
affairs. He tells them so in a letter he
| has sent TO them.
TIE order of which he complains is the
! one requiring ali carriages and wagons
| driving along Pennsylvania avenue TO stop
at Seventh and Ninth streets. Many COM
! plants have been made to him on the subject.
| He has written TO the Commissioners,
asking for a copy of the order under which
/ the police work. In this connection he
| wrote:
My experience Is that the requirement
| is in the interest OF danger rather than
| safety, especially since the cars are re-
quited to stop before crossing the Streets
! In speaking of the matter he said: I'm no
| other city i'll The country is such an uruer
! i'll force In New York where there is n
! great deal more traffic, the vehicles go
! right along. SO in other cities. l want u
! look into it,"
