LAW TO BE REPEALED.
Commissioners to Substitute Police
Regulation for Old Ordinance.

The District Commissioners several days
ago received a letter from Mrs. w. T.
Birch of 1901 31st street, who complained
that a party representing himself as an
official chimney sweep had called at her
residence and claimed the right to examine
and sweep her chimneys. Mrs. Birch in
quired whether the man was SO authorized,
explaining that her house is a compare
lively new one, and the chimneys are not
fcul 1t is probable that Mrs. Birch will be
Informed that while there is an old ordl-
nance directing the official chimney sweeps
to visit and examine houses and, where II
appears necessary, to clean the chimneys,
the law is now practically imperative. IL
is also understood to be the intention OF the
Commissioners to repeal the ordinance
which was enacted June 3, 1853, and to
adopt a police regulation requiring chin
neys to be cleaned once d year where sou
coal is burned, and once every two years
where hard coal is used.
The old municipal ordinance in question
provided that the mayor should annually
nc inmate and appoint two superintendents
of chimney sweeps, and it directed them to
once in every month, from the first of No,
vember to the first of May, and
once every two mcnths during the
remainder of the year, to visit every
inhabited house within their respective dis
tricts and thoroughly sweep or scrape or
cause the same to be done, every chimney
or flue thereof, for which work the sum
of 20 cents for each story and for each
fiue or chimney was authorized to be
charged by the superintendent.
The law also provided that every person
refusing to allow this to be done should
be fined s., and further, that the super
intendents should be fined $40 if SCOT in any
chimney or f1ue swept by them caught fire
before their next visit, and they were au-
thorfzed to sue to recover their fees, and
it was made an offense, subject to a fine
of $40, for any other person than the legally
appointed superintendents to clean or cause
to be cleaned chimneys or flues.
The Commissioners it is understood, hold
that this law passed at a time when
the great majority of the houses here were
of frame construction, and when wood was
largely the fuel used. The conditions have
since 50 changed that it appears to them,
it is said, that the old law should no longer
remain on the statute books
