District Commissioner Ross recently
suggested to his associates that section 13
OF article 13 of the Police Regulations be
amended by inserting after the word res
dents,' in the fourth line OF the section,
the words in each square, so that the
section as amended, shall read as follows:
Section 13. That no merry-g round or
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 Is of the Po
lice Regulations be amended by adding
after the word in in line 8, the words
each of, SO that the section as amended
shall rea1 as follows
That 90 circus shall hereafter be To-
Gated, operated or conducted on any lot
or open space without the written consent
Of IS per eentum of the residents keeping
house in the square on which it 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 g. DuvaiI, the
Attorney for the District, says. The sec
tlons as 5hus amended will require the
written consent OF residents in each stslsare
within the required distance of the propos-
ed location. I 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 ueighborhood
The regulations, if reasonable and not in
fact prohibitory, are sustainable.
i would suggest, however, that section
IS of article 13 be amended so as to RS
qulre the consent OF residents keeping
house thus:
. Section 13. That no merry -go-round or
| hying-hOTse machine shall hereafter be To-
Gated or operated on any lot or open space
without the written consent of two-thirds
of the residetns keeping house in each
square within two squares in each dfrec-
ton from the place where such merry-go-
gound of fying-horse machine is proposed
to be located
This would conform with the proyis-
ion on that subject in section ii, article
II, and also with like provision In the
act Of Congress regulating the sale Of in
toxicating liquors in the District

The application having been referred
TO eae Assessor for investigation and re-
port, i statement was made by the Board
Of Assistant Assessors to the effect that

ton was visited, and that on December
/. 1887, there was returned a frame shed
on said lot valued at $500. 1t is stated
further that the board was not advised

E. w. ". Griffin, the Assessor in trans
mitting the report OF the Board to the

ant Assessors, his Office is powerless to
abate the tax on the Improvement on said

E McC- Jones, of 1905 Pennsylvania
Avenue northwest, recently wro-e to the
Commissioners complaining of the condi-
tion of the sidewalk in front of premises
2lO2 First Street northwest. This was a
letter III reply TO a communicat tion from
the Commissioners stating that they did
not think ii advisable to repair the side
walk as requested in former letter from
Mr.. Jones. He states that he is not salts
fed with the decision and claims his tight
as citizen and taxpayer to be heard in
the matter
MIR. Jones charges a lack of consistency
in the position OF the Commissioners in
that they promptly replaced the inner or
tion OF the sidewalk in front of the prem
ises adjoining where the conditions were
not as bad. Mr. Jones further states that
his sidewalk has settled at least an inch
and that the faulty draining caused there
by Will result in damage to his property
In passing upon the complaint at the
time Of the former letter Capt. II. c. New
conner, Assistant to the Engineer Commits
sioneT recommended that the complainant
be Informed that the District authorities
do not consider it advisable TO relay the
rear portion OF the sidewalk 1T is true =
he said that the rear half slopes toward
the parking, as stated in the complaint
but there is a terrace several feet high
in the parking and a considerable lOugi-
tudinal slope TO the pavement. Therefore
it is not considered that the property is
exposed to any damage on account OF any
defective transverse slope, nor is i: thought
Justidable to incure the expense OF relay
ing this portion Of the walk
C. B. Hunt, the Computing Engineer. in
reporting upon Nr- Jones last letter states
that he has personally examined the side
walk in question and he recommends that
the complainant be advised that no reason
appears on a reconsideration Of the case
for a modification OF the decision conveyed
to him in the letter of the Commissioners

A thousand people saw the opening game
of professional bali yesterday afternoon at
Athletic park between Seattle and Tacoma.
In the first four innings sharp fielding and
good pitching held the score down. 1t
looked as II the twirlers were going to do
the work themselves, but in the fifth the
Tacoma sluggers fathomed Cases curves
and before the smoke cleared away they
had eight scores to their credit, passing
the locals with four to the good.
In the sixth Fowler and Mcintyre re-
lieved Case and Dugdale They put a stop
to Tacoma's smuggling, and the locals grad.
ually pulled up on the visitors, until they
needed one to tie and two to win in the
ninth. A home run by Mahon, clever base
running by Sheets and good batting by
Wooden and Murphy put the two runs
necessary across the plate. Seattle won.
McInirenry, the old Lacquer umpired the
game and had the crowd with him. Man
