half of fire protection; Through
our cisterns and fire company and

saving our people some 5000 an

the savings now would very nearly
reach $4,000. II the town was IN
spected now we would 60 back to

A telephone message Co the
ARDMoRErTE Friday evening
among other things stated that the
railroad bill. which few days ago
failed 10 pass the house, had again
been taken up and disposed of by
the legislature granting charter
for said road through the Terrific
ry and that the bill had been
signed by Gov. Johnston.
As already stated in these coll
umns. the charter calls for the line
to start at a point near the bridge
on Red river just north of Denison
and to run in a northwesterly di-
rection through Emet and Tisho-
mingo TO a point on the South
Canadian river. It will thus tap
some of the richest agricultural
lands in the Territory and at the
same time run through a rich
coal, asphalt and mineral belt.
Its projectors. who will be the di-
rectors of the new road, are the
following prominent Chickasaw
citizens: Elk Gov. r. M. Harris,
VIM. Rennie. M. v. Cheadle, Chas.
D. Carter, secretary of state of the
Chickasaw nation, p. s. Mosely,
national treasurer, ex-Gov. VIM.

The appropriations for the year which
were payable out Of the general revenues,
and embraced all but the appropriations
for the Water Department, were 1929, =
675.S5. The receipts from taxes and. other
resources applicable to the payment of said
appropriations Gncluding the amount con-
tributable by the United States as its share
of the District expenses and a surplus of
$956 062.16 of District revenues of former
years., were $7,S42, ,930.12 The exxpendi-
lures of the Water Department were
$195 $685. and were wholly payable out of
the revenues received from water rents and
assessments. The revenues Of this depart

this beautiful residence city should be
completely rid of the smoke nuisance,
which is rapidly becoming a serious me-
mace to the beauty and comfort Of the
Capital, SO as to warrant the enactment
OF law that will make all buildings alike
amenable to its requirements. In New
York city war Is being vigorously waged
against the smoke nuisance, but ON an
entirely different basis. the law there pre-
venting the use OF soft coal, thus striking
at the root of the matter. Difhculties in
the way OF enforcing such law should not
discourage a vigorous prosecution of the
attempt to rid the city of smoke.
A More Complete Morgue Wanted.
The work of the Coroner, as shown by
his report, is another evidence of the
growth Of the District. During the pas,
year a larger number Of autopsies and ex-
aminations have been made than ever be-
fore. The improvements In the morgue
have been completed. and. while greatly
better conditions exist than heretofore. the
little building being quite complete in it,
self, SO far as 1t goes, 1t Is still abso-
lutely inadequate for such city as
Washington, being only remodeled por-
ton of a stable in the rear Of one of the
police stations. Delay in securing an ap-
preparation FOR large ana complete
morgue is only oecasioned by the delay
in turning over to the Commissioners tire
wharf property recently declared to be
the property of the United States and
placed by act OF Congress under the con-
troll of the Commissioners. The result Is
now awaited of litigation whose object is
to secure to the occupants Of the wharves
compensation for the Improvements that
they have placed on the wharf property.
The Commissioners have refrained from
doing anything at all in the matter un-
til such time as this litigation shall be
ended. 1t is the intention. however. when
in possession of this property, to select
a suitable site for the erection OF a morgue
and for sufficient appropriation to bui.d
one that will be complete and adequate in
every respect.
The total number of deaths investigated
by the Coroner during the year was lS1,
an increase OF 143 over last year. For the
first time in the history of the District.
In connection with the Coroner's office, a
horse and wagon is now provided for the
exclusive use OF this branch Of the Gov
ernment, and the morguekeeper has been
relieved of all duty except the care OF
the morgue. The wagon does away with
the very Objectionable use which has here
tofore been made Of the police patrol
wagons for removing all dead bodies. and
is an Improvement TO the service that IL
is difficult to value too highly.

THE HARBoRMAsTER's BOAT.
New Boilers and Engines Needed by
the Department.

The Harbormaster has continued TO dc
excellent work With his boat. still laboring
however, under the Old conditions of having
inadequate machinery, Congress having
failed to appropriate the amount asked fol
TO equip the boat with new boilers and
engines. When 50 much good for the water
front is accomplished at such a small out
lay. it does seem as though the amount
asked for to make the boat complete should
be allowed. Especially is this true at this
time, inasmuch las the Supreme Court OF
the United States has decided that all the
water front is the property of the United
States, and by a recent act Of Congress the
entire wharfage, with a very slight excep-
tion, is placed under the control of the
Commissioners, with authority and discre-
tion 10 exercise entire supervision over It.
This will greatly increase the work Of the
Harbormaster, and he should not be re-
stricted and hampered with Inadequate ap-
pliances.
very important service rendered by the
Harbormaster, and one for which he de-
serves high commendation, was that Of
breaking the ice in the channel of the Po-
tomac River, providing for its escape down
the river in time to allow the free passage
of large blocks of ice from the upper river

food during the extreme cold weather in
February of 1899. When this condition was
presented n request was made for s., 600
from Congress to protect the city from
flood and break up the ice in the river.
The amount seemed very small compared
with the amount of work to be DONE but
the Harbormaster secured a number Of
tugs. and. organizing them rs fleet and
engaging them for ten days, with them
managed to break the ice effectively and
keep the channel open. so the crisis was
passed without any loss whatever. There
were times during those exciting days
when simply a little negligence would
have occasioned gorge at the forks OF
the channel, dammng the water and
throwing 1t back through B Street sewer
onto the streets and into the cellars be-
tween the Capitol and the Treasury and
Pennsylvania Avenue and streets south OF
it, which would have involved a loss of a
million or more of dollars. When the
work was completed it was found that the

which they are employed, they are COM
missioned as additional prfyates, which
gives them police power only In these par
ticular localities. This privilege has been
abused In the past and has worked serious
annoyances to the department. The police
| force shonld be large enough to everything
In the way OF police work, so that there
would be no necessity for additional 'pri-
Yates or watchmen Of the kind mentioned.
1t has been the aim Of the Major and Su-
perintendent Of Police 70 make these ad
ditional privates subject to the rules and
regulations Of the department, and they are
now required to report through the patrol
boxes as are the regular police officers and
to report to the lieutenants of the precincts
in which they do their watching when they
go on and when they go Off duty. In this
way some supervision is exercised over
these men. and conditions have been bet
tered, but the system is not a desirable
one.
Two years ago four members of the force
were mounted on bicycles; today the squad
numbers forty. distributed among the sew
eral precincts, and the Commissioners have
been favorably impressed with the results
accomplished. which show the advantages
derived from this method of patrolling the
city.
into the department for the first time in its
history, and many OF the officers who were
deficient in knowledge of the weapon have
been instructed as to its care and use.
This innovation has clearly demonstrated
the need Of new weapons. as many of those
issued to the officers have been in use for
the past twenty years.
During the past twenty years It has
been found necessary. from time to time,
to detail privates to transact the clerical
woik of the department, which has in
creased with the growth OF the force.
Provision is made for chief clerk, who
shall also be property clerk of the depart
ment Tin other words, that official occu-
Dies dual position), and two clerks are
provided to assist him In disposing of the
extensive details at headquarters. In Or
der that the policemen now detailed as
clerks may be relieved and assigned TO
their legitimate duties, the Commissioners
urge that additional clerks be provided.
Should Congress increase the force, a
large amount will be required for con-
tingent expenses. to purchase equipments,
beds, bedding. and furniture, all of which
have been estimated for upon the lowest
practicable basis.
