THEY WILL NOT BE REMOVED.
Anacostin's Citizens Not to Lose
Their Hay Scales.

The controversy over the proposition to
remove the Anacostia hay scales to the
yard in front of the Maryland House in
Brightwood Avenue, north of the baseball
grounds, was brought to an end yesterday
by the District Commissioners. The lat
ter decided that 1t would be inexpedient
10 transfer the hay scales as requested.
The farmers of Prince George county and
citizens of Anacostia, Congress Heights,
and Uniontown have been bitterly oppose
TO the removal of the weighing machine,
claiming that such action would deprive
them Of any scales whatever. The right to
use the scales was sold at public auction
by the District to r. W. Talks last June.
Mr.. Talks controls the Maryland House.
and it was at his reuqest that his attorney.
r. W. Barnard. presented the proposition
to change the location of the scales.
hearing was held several days ago
and the Commissioners heard both s.des o!
the question. There are several public
hay scales along the line of Brightwood
Avenue and Seventh Street at the present
time. and the Commissioners fail TO see
that there is any necessity for the location
of other scales in the vicinity.

New York, July 22.-Dealings on the
stock exchange today were of only moder-
ate proportions. There was an advance in
the early dealings. but later profit taking
by the room traders produced a recession
in values. With a single exception, how
ever, final figures showed in the who.e list
no more than fractional losses from yes
terday, and in some stocks there were
gains. The bank statement, while not un-
favorable, was disappointing, but its char
acter was not such as to stimulate ad-
verse sentiment in stocks. AS a fact, no
long stocks came on the market as result
of IT. An increase in the surplus reserves
larger than S1.356, $50 was looked for, and
it was not larger because of loss in cash
Otherwise the reduction in deposits would
have brought up the reserves. There was
one thing that the statement appeared TO
reveal, that was the voluntary repayment OF
loans. II was considered that one reason
why the banks did not make a better ex-
hibit was that much of the money that has
been moving to this centre from the in
terror has gone into trust companies in
stead Of banks, and another reason is that
the interior banks have been utilizing their
balances in banks here TO some extent in
making loans in this market.
Speaking generally, the statement was
favorable, for it showed that the banks
were able while maintaining the equilib-
rum Of the money market TO protect them
selves. Ii is fairly well known that the
trust companies are carrying money them
selves, more largely than heretofore, and
are keeping less in the banks. They are
going more and more into the banking
business. and. as a consequence, the bank
statement does not disclose the money
situation TO the same extent as formerly.
The one stock which lost more than
point was New York Air Brake, but
changes of and 10 points in this stock are
not infrequent. The largest transactions
were in Rock Island, and the net decline

THE CLEANING OF STREETS.
Controversy Between the District
and Contractors Continues.

The controversy between the District and
Messrs. Dagget & Dugan, contractors for
sweeping the streets by hand labor, grow
ing out of the charge that the latter had
violated their contract, continues with
much spirit. Warner Stutler, the District
Superintendent OF Street Cleaning, submit
ted a report to the Commissioners, some
being short and others long statements of
the manner in which the streets were be-
ing swept. almost every day last week.
The first and longest OF these charged the
contractors with gross violations of their
contract and recommended that they show
cause why the agreement with them should
not be suspended. Then there was another
report submitted on Thursday and third
on Friday. stating that the men OF the
contractors had gone out on 4 strike. and
about noon OF the same day Messrs. Dag
gett Dugan, the contractors, filed a
lengthy reply to the original charges made
by Superintendent Stutler denying every
allegation 1t was then time for the Dis
trict Superintendent of Street Cleaning TO
take action and he filed another statement
with Commissioner Ross late yesterday af-
ternoon answering the response of the con-
tractors. He recommended that the con-
tract be suspended and that other parties
be employed TO do the work. The whole
matter will be taken up in board session
some time this week and some interesting
disclosures are promised.
Superintendent Stutler commences his
latest report with the statement that the
response OF the contractors is largely a
confession of the truth of my charges but
says that they frame their avoidance in
so plausible a manner as to possibly de-
ceive many who are not familiar with the
circumstances" He then proceeds to
! enumerate some of these circumstances.
He quotes the appropriation act, which con-
tains a clause providing that the Commits
sioners make the specifications for street.
sweeping and let the work to the lowest
responsible bidder. This clause provides
| further that if the work cannot be pro-
| cured for a price not exceeding % cents
| for hand work and 90 cents for machine
work per 1,000 square yards the Commits
soners should do the work. Mr.. Stutler
asserts that this provision was inserted in
| the bill at the instance of Albert Daggett
and his attorney, ]. NJ. Wilson, as would
seem by reference to the printed hearings
before the Subcommittee on Appropriations
of the Senate and that Judge Wilson, in
commenting on the provision, made the
statement that If the Commissioners should
do the work they must do II according TO
prepared and when Messrs. Daggett &
Dugan bid upon them they were awarded
| the contract Mr.. Stutler says, that being
| the case they must do the work accord
| ing to the specifications.
