women of the United States, believing in

Whatever promotes the permanent interests
OF one nation must ultimately secure the
highest welfare of all; believing that the
highest interests of each nation are best
conserved by its own civil, political and So

its best expression in education, philan-

ENGINEERS LICENSES,
Three Points Submitted to the Dis
trfct Com mfssioners.

Mr.. Arthur w. Leeke of the Eccentric
Association Of Engineers. No. /, recently
wrote the District Commissioners asking
information on three points in connection
with the licensing OF steam engineers
First he desired to know whether engineers
with third-class licenses are authorized to
operate engines with frst-class plants
Second, whether engines may be run TWEEN
fy-four hours with one engineer. Third
whether in all cases where a license fee is
charged police protection should not he af-
forded, meaning whether the police should
not Investigate and report any violations Of
the law and regulations in regard to steam
engineers.
The Commissioners referred the inquiries
to the local board of steam engineers, and
q report was made by the board to the eff
feet that t he board of examiners is in doubt
as to the authority for classifying the diff
ferent steam plants in the District. That
is, whether an engineer having first-class
license may be in charge of a plant of any
capacity; whether one having a second
class license may not be in charge of a
plant of more than seventy-fve horse
power, and whether one holding a third
class license may he restricted to the
charge of a plant of less than twenty-five
horsepower. The board therefore recon-
mended that the matter be referred to the
attorney for the District.
Ihat was done, and the attorney has rem
dered an opinion. in which he holds that
the law makes no provision for investiga-
lions by the police Of alleged infractions of
it,
Congress. by act approved February %
1871, states the attorney. Ito regulate
steam engineers in the District. makes 1t
unlawful for any person to act as steam
engineer who shall not have been regularly
licensed 50 to do by the Commissioners;
rovides for a board of examiners to eX-
anime persons applying for licenses as
steam engineers. and fixes the fee for a
license for steam engineers. Said act au-
thorizes the Commissioners to make rules
and regulations in regard to the examna-
ton of applicants for licenses as steam en-
gineers. but / am unable. after some in
quiry, to find that the Commissioners have
ever made regulations on the subject.
80 FAR as Mr.. Leekes questions are con-
cerned, NY answer to his first is that the
owner or lessee of any steam boiler or en-
CINE who shall knowingly employ a steam
engineer not regularly licensed is liable to
1ne of $50. AS to bis second question
there appears to be nothing in the law linn
itlng the hours which a steam engineer
snail. work. As to Mr.. Leeke's third uues-
ton, the law makes no provision that the
police shall investigate infractions of it,"

No Action Required on COMPLAINT
AEafnst Garbage Horns

Mr.. o. P Austin Of 1920 Massachusetts,
avenue recently protested to the District
Commissioners against the blowing of
horns by the garbage collector, complaining
that it not only destroyed his rest, but
also that of the neighborhood The COM
plant was referred to the health officer
DR.. William c. Woodward who made the
following report, which has been approved
by the Commissioners:
In view of the fact that the other
residents in the vicinity in which Mr.
Austin lives do not consider that the gar
bage collector blows his horn excessively,
no action seems to be necessary. 1t is not
in my judgment, wise to undertake to in
struct garbage collectors to discontinue the
use of their horns in particular localities,
while they continue to use them in other
places, as such method is liable to cause
confusion, and to afford the contractor ex-
cuse for failures to collect garbage"
