AUTHORITY CONFERRED.
Commissioners May Grant Permit for
StringinE Overhead Wire.

The chief clerk of the Interior Depart
ment desires an overhead connection to be
made by the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany from a pole of the company on E
street and the Post Office Department
building because 1t is less expensive than
an underground connection, and because it
is contemplated by the Interior Department
to establish in the building in the near
plant the desired connection being. there
fore. in the nature of a temporary one.
The company applied to the District Com
missioners for permit 10 run a three-wire
overhead service to the building. although
II is understood Ii would prefer to make
the connection an underground one, it hav-
ing conduit on three sides of the building.
The matter was referred by the Commits
sioners TO their attorney. and in an opinion
rendered touay by his first assistant. Mr.
Clarence A Brandenburg. they are advised
that they are authorized to grant the de-
sired permit.
a clause in the sundry civil appropriation
bill for the year ended June 30. 1895 states
Mr. Brandenburg, provides follows:
Columbia are hereby authorized to issue
permits for house connections with con-
duits and overhead wires now existing ad-
jacent to the premises with which such
connection is to be made" This provision
of law, in his opinion. confers upon the
Commissioners authority to grant the an
plication as desired.
1T seems explains Mr.. Brandenburg,
Ito be question of policy and expediency
rather than one of law. If permission shall
be granted to make an overhead connec-
ton, in view of the legislation in reference
to overhead wires when adjacent conduits
exist with which such connection may be
made

DISORDER AT NEARBY RESORT.
Steps Taken by Local Police in the
Matter.

Referring to the numerous complaints
regarding the conduct of certain rough
characters in the vicinity of Chesapeake
Junction. but which disorder takes place in
Maryland, just across the District line as
already stated in The Star. Maj. Sylvester
superintendent of police. this afternoon
stated that he has gone so far in his ef-
forts to break up the cause of the COM
plant as to write to the prosecuting attor-
ney of Prince Georges county. Md, and
urge him to have a special force of deputy
sheriffs al the place of disorder to take into
custody all violators of the law This was
the course. Maj. Sylvester said. that was
pursued at his request by the prosecuting
attorney of Montgomery county when there
was trouble at Cabin John bridge several
weeks ago. and the outcome was that or
der was soon restored.
So far as the District police department
Is concerned, nothing has been left undone,
Maj. Sylvester says. to preserve peace and
good order at the resort near Chesapeake
Junction and vicinity. The superintendent
Of police has sent extra details of police
to the District line at both expected and
unexpected hours to apprehend dsturbers
of the peace
1t is Understood to be probable that If
the authorities last referred to do not act
speedily Gov. Smith of Maryland will be
asked to exercise his prerogatlves in the
matter.
