OPINIONS RENDERED.
for the District Passes Upon
Points of Interest.

Four opinions of general public interest
have been rendered by the attorney for
the District. In the first the Com
missioners' legal adviser tells them that 1t
will be necessary for them to obtain fur
Their legislation before they grant the
request made a few days ago by the North
east Citizens Association that officers be
stationed at the H street crossing over the
tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
In his second opinion the attorney says
that brick kiln, which has neither smoke
stack nor chimney, is not within the terms
of the act of Congress for the prevention Of
smoke in the District.
Answering third inquiry of the Commits
soners, their attorney says he is of the
opinion that he Is unable to find any au-
thority of law requiring gas companies to
extend their mains when requested by pri-
vate consumers
The fourth opinion has reference to an
annoyance caused a citizen by the location
of a circus near his residence. He says
he does not think regulation could be
framed for issuing license, revocable, if,
in the opinion of the Commissioners. there
is just ground therefor upon a reasonable
complaint of persons in the neighborhood.
He suggests, however, that section IA, of
article 3d. of the police regulations be so
amended so as to require the written con-
sent of majority of the residents within
two squares in each direction from the
place where the same is proposed to be
located.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-09-20

Unable to Grant q De-
sired Permit.

The attorney for the District, to whom
the question was referred by the Commits
sioners. has advised them that they are
without authority of law to permit the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company to connect
premises 7O1 4th street with conduit in
the roadway of said street, the conduit in
question being the property of the City and
Suburban Railway Company.
In submitting it's application for the per-
init the Potomac Electric Power Company
explained that the duct in question Is Its
property, acquired by it from the railway
company and is to be occupied by electric
lighting wires exclusively. The former
company also explained, in support of its
application. that the proposed connection
would Obviate digging up the streets, as
would be otherwise necessary, to distance
of about 100 additional feet. The company
submitted that, having the conduit in a To-
cation adjacent to the premises desired to
be supplied, both law and public interests
would be gratified by supplying the service
through the connection proposed.
The Commissioners legal adviser, in his
opinion says the ownership of the duct
in the conduit does not make the con-
duit the property of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company, it still being
in his opinion. the conduit OF the
railway company. Congress amended the
charter of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway Company by an act APP
proved June u, 1898. authorizing 1t to
change its name to that of the City and
Suburban Railway Company. and in section
, of said act Congress provided that moth
ing therein contained should be construed
as authorizing or permitting said company
to use it's conduits or cables or electrical
conductors of any character whatever for
the purpose of electric Lighting except such
as may be necessary for the lighting and
propelling of the cars and machinery of the
road and its power house or other prop
erty Of the railway company owned or ac
quired by it adjacent to its lines and neces-
sary for the operation of it's road.
This proviso," says the attorney, in
terms restricts the-use of the railway con-
duits and denies the right to use the same
for the purpose of electric lighting or
power except as therein stated. In my
opinion the Commissioners are without au-
thority to grant the desired permit"
The Commissioners have concurred In the
opinion of their attorney, and have there
fore denied the aDnlicatiOn.

Clubs. the leading minor organization OF
the country, will start the season of 1900
with a team in Chicago. 1t Is also prac-
tically certain that Tom Lotus, who has
been a nomad for some time, will bring his
Grand Rapids franchise here and be the
head and front of the Chicago Western
League team. 1t is probable, too, the
Western League will attempt to strengthen
its circuit by placing team in either Cleve-
land or Toronto.
1t is known that several of the Western
League magnates are greatly in favor of
accepting the National Leagues terms and
taking the Cleveland territory off the ma
jor bodys hands. If this is done there Is
no doub. that Charley Comiskey, now at
the head of the Minneapolis team, will be
placed in charge of the players in the
forest city. If all these things are true
1t is certain there will be three base ball
teams in Chicago at the start of the season
of 1900. 1t is no doubt the intention of the
National League magnates to have matters
SO fixed that the Western League team will
be playing here while the National
Leaguers are on foreign grounds. This will
occupy the territory during the entire play
ing season and leave no open dates for the
rev league.

Favors a colored Fire Company.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In his annual estimate for the support of
the District fire department for the next
fiscal year Chief Paris recommended an
Increase in the fire department of four
steam engine companies two truck COM
panies and a combination chemical and
hose company. In view of this recon-
mendation for an increase in the existing
force, l believe it is an opportune time to
make an appeal to the Commissioners and
the good citizens of Washington to give the
colored people of this city a fitting repre-
sentation in the fire department. We have
in this city colored population of $1,000,
which pays taxes on upward of $10,000,O00
worth of real estate, but we have no col
ored fire company, while Chicago, with a
colored population of 10000, paying taxes
on less than one-third of the amount paid
by our people in this city. has had an eX-
cellent colored fire company since $780, In
the year 1885 a colored fire company was
organized in ST. Paul, Mimi, and 1t has
rendered splendid service ever since it
came into existence.
l am reluctant to believe that our white
friends in this city, after a careful con-
sheraton of the subject, will fail to give
our people here as good representation in
the fire department as the colored people
have received in the aforementioned cit
les.
The appointment Of colored policemen in
this city has long since passed the expert
mental stage, as the colored policemen have
invariably made an excellent record for
reliability and efficiency in the discharge
of their duties. The same statement may be
made in reference to the fidelity of the col
ored man in every department Of the Dis
trict government in which he has been en-
ployed. All that he asks is q chance to
prove himself worthy of any confidence
that may be reposed in him 8
AS q resident who has paid taxes many
years in this city. l sincerely hope the
claims of the colored people of Washington.
