With reference to the waste of water
reported from a defective pipe In police
station house No. 4, Richard Sylvester,
the Major and Superintendent OF Police,
yesterday reported as follows to the Com
missioners:
THE lieutenants of the several pre-
cincts have been instructed to report to
headquarters all defects of this character
In addition thereto, the captain and in
spectors daily examine the several sta
ton houses, reporting any that may exist,
and the Inspector of Plumbing is prompt
ly notified of any and all needed repairs.
There are times when delays follow
the reporting OF defective pipes, over
which the Police Department have no
control. Some months ago various al
terations and repairs needed TO several
police precinct station houses were made
known, but up TO this time. owing to the
pressure on the time of the Superinten-
dent of Repairs, very little has been
done.
81 most respectfully urge that the sta
tion houses be overhauled in accordance
with the requisition already made at as
early date as possible, and as hereto
fore ali defects observable about these
houses will be reported to these head
quarters and thence to the proper au-
thorities.

Margaret A Fallon, of 219 First Street
northeast. yesterday wrote the Commits
sioners relative to the laying of double
tracks on a portion of the street named
by the Capital Traction Company.
Upon my arrival in the city she
states. after an absence of some weeks,
/ find that petition has been presented
to you by property holders on First
Street, between B and C Streets north
east, protesting against the use OF the
street for double track.
las the street is too narrow TO be oc
cupied for any such purpose and as such
occupancy of the street Will be detri-
mental TO all property along that street,
/ wish to add my earnest protest against
such right being granted to the railroad
company"
The Commissioners have placed the let
ter on file to be taken up in considera-
tion OF the subject TO which it refers.

In the normal course of development
of the work of the executive Office" he
says. .'the duties of the messenger clerk
have become entirely clerical. The title
of the position should therefore be changed
to indicate the nature of the employment.
An additional laborer at 1865 is asked
for in order to supplement the regular
messenger and laborer service; to help
clean up the rooms, and to act as a sub
stitute elevator operator during any alb
sence of the regular elevator operators.
The messenger and the laborer in the
executive Office are engaged during Office
hours as messengers and in copying, type
writing, and mailing letters, and before
and after office hours in cleaning the
rooms occupied by the executive depart
ment. Their work is unjustly onerous to
them and a source of embarrassment TO
the Commissioners because of the ina
bility of thos. employees TO respond to the
requirements ;,pon them for messenger
service. When either of the elevator
operators is absent, one of the elevators
must be stopped, or the messenger must
be detailed TO do his work, thus depicting
a force already inadequate"

District Commissioner Ross recently
suggested to his associates that section ID
ofArticle XIII of the Police Regulations be
amended by inserting after the word res
idents, in the fourth line of the section,
the words 'tin each square," SO that the
section, as amended, shall read as follows:
Section 10. That no merry-go-round OF
fying-horse machine shall hereafter be To-
Gated or operated on any lot or open space
without the written consent of two thirds
of the residents in each square within two
squares in each direction from The place
where such merry go round or flying-horse
machine is proposed to be located"
Mr.. Ross also suggested to his associ-
ates that section IA of Article XIII of the
Police Regulations be amended by adding
after the word in" In line 6. the words
each Of so that the section as amended
shall read as follows:
THAT no circus shall hereafter be To-
Gated, operated. or conducted on any lot
or open space without the written consent
of 70 per centum of the residents keeping
house in the square on which 1t is pro-
posed to locate the circus, and In each of
the squares confronting such square"
In formulating his opinion on the pro-
posed amendments Andrew B. DuvaH the
Attorney for the District, says: "The sec
tons as thus amended, will require the
written consent OF RESIDENTS IN ehch square
within the required distance Of the propos-
Ell location. l am OF the opinion that the
Commissioners have authority to make po-
lice regulations concerning the location OF
an occupation which in its operation, ex-
perience shows, necessarily interferes with
the comfort and peace of the ighboThood
The regulations, If reasonable and not in
fact prohibitory, are sustainable.
Il would suggest, however, that section
10 of Article XIII be amended so as to re-
quire the consent OF residents keeping
house thus:
Section IL. That no merry GO round or
1yipg-horse machine shall hereafter be To-
Gated or operated on any lot or open space
without the written consent of two-thirds
of the residents keeping house In each
square within two squares In each direc-
ton from the place where such merry 60
round or flying horse machine is proposed
to be located
This would conform with the provls-
ion on that subject in section Il, Article
XIII, and also with like provision in the
act OF Congress regulating the sale of in
toXicating liquors In the District"
