CITIZENS COMPLAIN OF NOISE.
Claim the 11th Street Car Line Causes
Annoyance and Damage.

Annoyance and Damage.
A petition signed by many of the prop
erty owners and residents of 11th street
was recently presented to the District Com
missioners, inviting their attention to the
noise and uproar alleged to result from the
operation of the cars on the 11th street
line. This noise, stated the petitioners.
and the constant ringing of the gongs on
the cars have made them a public nuis-
ance, and indicates, the petitioners think.
that, in comparison with other street rail-
way lines of the city, there is some fault
In the mechanism or the operation of the
cars.
I'VE realize" explained the petitioners.
land are cognizant of the fact that these
cars, being new, will make some noise
but the cause of complaint does not seem
TO diminish with use. the existing condi-
lions being such that, If they be continued,
the health of the residents near and along
this line will be endangered and their COM
fort greatly disturbed, as Ii is almost i'm
possible to converse while the cars are
passing, and the noise at nightfall great
ly disturbs our rest. We would also call
your attention to the rapid and unlawful
rate of speed at which these cars are be-
ing run, altogether resulting in great dam
age TO the value Of our property and the
loss of tenants"
The Commissioners referred the COM
paint TO Mr. A l.. Thomas an inspector
In the engineer department, who has re-
ported to them that, after careful examine
ton. he found that there is a perceptibie
difference In the noise made by these cars
now ana what 1t was at first, owing he
says. to the newness Of their construction
having worn on. The inspector also saws
this noise is lessened to a still greater
degree when the cars in question run over
the older construction Of track. Mr.
Thomas fails to explain how this will af-
ford relief to people on 18th street. but
he states that 1t is the intention of the
railroad company in the very near future
to replace the large cars now running on
11th street by those now in use on the 9th
street line, and when this is done. he feels
sure all cause for complaint will be re-
moved. As to the alleged unlawful rate
of speed at which cars are being run on
18th street. Mr.. Thomas says every pre-
caution is being taken by the police de-
partment to prevent 1t.

Annual Report Of Commissioner DUEL
Submitted.
RECEIPTS OVER EXPENDITURES
Comment on the Good Work Per-
formed by Office Force.
NEW BUILDING ASKED FOR

The annual report of the commissioner
of patents, Mr. Charles H. Duell, has been
submitted to the SecI etary of the Interior.
During the past fiscal year there were re-
ceived 39,S15 applications for mechanical
patents, 2,263 applications for designs, 90
applications for reissue, 1, T39 caveats and
127 applications for prints. There were
26.54O patents granted, including reissues
and designs; lego trade marks, $50 labels
and Oh prints were registered. The number
of patents that expired was 1888. The
total receipts of the office were $1,35S,-
22s35, the total expenditures were 81 ,247,-
s275S and the surplus of receipts over ex-
penditures, being the amount turned into
the treasury, was $110, 4OO.77.
The Work of the ONCE.
The examination work of the Office is in
about the same relative condition that 1t
was at the close of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1899. At that time every examiner
had his new work within one month from
date of filing and his amended work within
fifteen days of date. At the close of the
present fiscal year thirty out Of the thirty
six examiners had their new- work within
one month from the date OF filing, :)f tho
remaining six, three overran that. time but,
by one 1.-THE amended work in NEARLY
all of the<divisions was being acted upon
within fifteen days aftertfif1hg. The num-
Der of applications awaiting action on .the
par. of the Office on July 1. 1900, was be-
tween five and siXFhuntired more than on
the list of July 1899, but the number OF ap-
plicatfons for patents, .etc.: received during
the last fiscal year was 5000 greater than
during the preceding year, and the number
or amendments acted upon was also cor
respondingly greater
Iil;ssss;s.. considered an excellent showing,
Commissioner DUEL says, and reflects credit
upon the examining corps when it is borne
in mind that a greater number of exam
liners We're detailed for classification work
than during the preceding fiscal year
The work of the clerical divisions has
been kept well up to date and there is no
reason why, he says. with the small in
crease of clerical force given by Congress
at the last session, the work of the clerical
divisions should not be promptly and care
fully done.
