INSPECTORS REPORT WITHHELD.
Action Upon Reply Concerning Al
legged Faulty Construction


1t is more than probable that the report
made to the District Commissioners by Mr..
John B. Brady inspector of buildings, in
answer to the one submitted to the Com
missioners by the committee On buildings
and repairs of the board of school trustees,
on the condition of the school buildings, will
not be made public 1t is also probable
that the Commissioners will dispose of the
matter by advising the school board that
steps be taken to remove all grounds of
complaint hereafter in the matter of defect
i've construction of school buildings and
their dilapidation
1t will be recalled that the school board
committee, of which Trustee George II.
Harries is chairman, reported to the board
that the Johnson School, at Mt. Pleasant,
the Western High School, and several other
school buildings were found by the COM
mittee to have been in the first place badly
constructed, and then permitted to become
unnecessarily dilapidated. The committee $
report was referred by the Commissioners
to the building inspector who submitted in
answer thereto, as was stated in The Star
at the time, a most voluminous report.
Ihat report has never been made public,
and Its contents, 1t is understood, have
never been made known to the school board
or its committee. 1t Is now stated that it
Will be either returned to Mr.. Brady or else
so amended as to remove from it all mat
tiers which might, if published or forwarded
to the school board, prolong the contro-
versy.
AS has been stated by Trustee Harries,
the report of his committee was not de-
signed or intended as an attack on the in
spector of buildings, as some of the friends
of the latter seem to have believed nor as
criticism of the Commissioners. but was
merely made to invite the attention Of the
Commissioners to the conditions which pre-
vailed, that steps might be taken to correct
them 1t is therefore, believed that Mr..
Bradys report will not be published, and
that the school board will be informed by
the Commissioners that steps have been
taken and will be maintained to remove
hereafter all cause for complaint.

CHEEKY PIPE OF BOB WHITE
Plentiful Consgnments of Western Quail for
Breeding.
Mr.. Morciand Filling the Orders
Fine, Healthy Quails.

Early visitors to Center market during
the past four or five days have been sur
prised to hear the mellow call Bob White
resound at frequent Intervals and upon in
Vestigation have found the familiar spring
salute come from quails confined in crates
at the stand of Mr.. Walter S. Moreland and
destined to 'replenish the depleted coverts
in the Vicinity of Washington. AS we'll re-
mcmhered, when the fierce blizzard of the
winter was over, and it was learned that
very few quails in this vicinity had sur
viVed the storm, local spOrtsmen who are
votares of the gun and dog, and know the
keen delights of day in the stubbIe took
measures to secure birds elsewhere and
liberate them in nearby Virginia and Mary
land. Mr.. Moreland, who is an ardent
sportsman himself. came to their assist
ance with an offer to secure out west all
birds needed, and supply them at actual
cost with express rates added. He placed
orders with Kansas trappers for 200 dozen
BIRDS, at no per dozen, and was promised
That the orders would be at once filled.
Other demands from the east at higher
figures caused the parties out west to break
faith with Mr. Moreland. under the repre-
sentation that they had found it imposs4-
bic to trap birds because of bad weather
ana other reasons.
Mr.. Moreland, determined to keep his end
OF the promise, made arrangements then
with other parties, and since last Tuesday
consisnments of live birds have been COM
ing and more are route and he is filling
the orders received several weeks ago.
Among the gentlemen who have already
secured quafls and liberated them in this
vicinity are Mr.. William Dunlop of West
Washington, ID. William oyster George F.
Zeh, Arthur Stabler, George Blanchard
Major /; L. Blake, Anthony Rupert, VIII
liam Holmead and Andrew Loeffler
The birds are from Kansas and are re-
markably fine and healthy specimens The
consignments are divided equally as to sex
es, and the results from their liberation are
confidently expected to make "a numerous
quail population by next fall. The price at
which the birds have been put 10 those on
the order list Is $21S a dozen.

Upon the suggestion of Capt. Beach. the
Engineer Commissioner, the District Com
missioners have authorized the chief of
police 10 issue permits for stands to be used
for the sale of refreshments and soft drinks
during the peace jubilee. The stands are
to be, of course, only temporary ones, and
To he used only during the three days of
the jubilee. 1t is believed by the Commits
siOners that the chief of police can decide
these matters better than the engineer de-
partment, by which office permits of this
character are issued as a rule.
