TO PROVIDE THE PEN NALTIES.
The commissioners Want Permis-
sion to A mend Health Regulations.

Chairman Grout, of the House Subcom-
mittee on District Affairs, has been asked
by the Commissioners to add a proviso to
the District appropriation bill, authorizing
them TO make such health regulations, from
time to time, as they may deem advisable,
TO alter, amend, or modify the legaliZed
regulations of the late beard of health, and
to prescribe such penalties as will secure
their enforcement.
The object OF this legislation is to enable
the Commissioners to secure the punishment
of offenders against the health regulations
who are now exempted by reason of the
absence OF a penalty clause, or a lack
of authority to enforce the penalty when
prescribed.
1t will have an effect upon the violations
of the law to prevent the spread of con-
tagious diseases.

THE STREET NOT DESIRED.
Objections Made by the Commits
sioners to an Extension.

No. 9S26. This is the measure which in
introduced for the extension of Caroline
street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets.
In reporting upon the bill the Commits
sioners say that Notwithstanding it may be
to the advantage of the property owners,
many Of whom have consented to the ex-
tension, the board does not consider it to
be proper to expend $4,000. the sum
named in the bill. for that purpose, es-
pecially when public funds are in such
demand for more important improve
mentS.

THE BOARD AGAIN OBJECTS.
An Adverse Report on the Louise
Home Bill.

The Commissioners are still of the opin-
ion that the bill for the relief of the
Louise Home, heretofore mentioned in The
Times, and opposed by the board, should
not be passed.
In report to Chairman Mcmillan, of the
Senate Committee, submitted yesterday,
they say that ''as other similarly Inanageu
institutions in the District are required to
pay assessments for special improvements,
and as the pending legislation might create
an embarrassing precedent, they hesitate
to advise the enactment of the bill.''

Powers has one of the greatest civil

It is simple as a Yale lock and as easy

a bill is now being prepared by

Rines asking for an appropriation from
the State legislature, of something like
S3000t to be used on the Mora and Mile
Laos lake road. The bill will be intro
duced by Hon, August j. Anderson in
the house and Senator Hodge will en-
deavor to secure its passage in the SEN

pended in such a way will do great
deal in settling the northern part Of

There Is no accounting for this
world. The Tillman press unanimously
and the conservative opposition COM
ment on Larry Gantt's honesty in
acknowledging hat he has a good lot
OF the samples" in his cellar at Spar
tanburg, a present from the high Of
hcials In Columbia. Now, II any man
or in South Carolina, was en-
titled to courtesies OF the kind the
incompatible Larry should not have
been overlooked. He imported the
the "moral institution" from Georgia
"a little after Tillman and Irby i'm

on his side--a right to know how they

1t Is announced hat Governor FL
lerbe will continue to do his duty to
the best OF his ability. Once there
was q man engaged in the raising Of
stock. He was on the Fitzsimmons
build. He had a pet calf which he fed
bountifully until he grew to be a bull
lock. Every morning he carried
the animal around on his shout
ders. The mans shoulders developed
with the growth of tho animal. The
trouble with Governor Ellerbe lies in
the TACT that he tackled a full grown
bullock.

right OF parties outside the State to

the decision be against the State. The |
people have stood a good deal, and a
