Safeguards Needed.

To tie Editor of The Evening Star:
Before matters go further. it seems to
me that, in the interest of the ordinary pre-.
cautions for protection of life and prop
erty, more efficient safeguards should be
adopted by those charged with taking down
the building recently occupied by the De-
partment of Justice.
Already the sky lights in this building
have been broken by fallen or falling deb.
ris, and the merest glance shows that the
guards on street and pavement are made
quate to the obvious requirements of the
situation. This is a matter which should
receive the prompt attention of the proper
authorities. and of the contractor charged
with the removal of the old building. The
great pile of earth occupying the avenue
and the debris should be removed as care
fully and rapidly as possible.
