District Commissioners VIII Favor "a
Bill Concerning Them.

The Commissioners have decided upon
the substance of a report, which will be
favorable, to be sent to the Senate Com
mittee on the District of Columbia, on
bill 447, Ito regulate electrical wiring In

The bill in question provides that 1t
shall be unlawful for any person to act as
an electrical wiring contractor or to en-
gage in electrical construction In the Dis
trict OF Columbia. who shall not have been
licensed as provided in this act: Provided.
that nothing In this act shall be construed
to apply to public buildings OF the United

to diminish the authority Of the officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds or

A DOG OWNERS PROTEST.
He Complains of the Action of tn
Pound Employees.

Pound Employees.
Louis A. Reinburg, Of AT Thirteenth
Street southeast, recently wrote to DR..
William C. Woodward, the Health Officer,
stating that skye terrier belonging TO
him had been captured by the District
poundmen under circumstances which he
thought should ensure the return Of his
dog without payment Of the usual pound
fee. Mr.. Reinburg also said that his dog
was tagged, but not muzzled, and, con-
tinuing. the letter reads:
II desire to state that In order to effect
the capture of this dog the pound men
must have come into my yard or opened
the gate, for 1t was impossible for the
dog to get off the premises, as he was too
large to get through the fence and being
blind, could not jump over.
'In compliance with law secured some
time ago n muzzle, which the dog had
been wearing up to the day before he was
taken by the pound men. A wagon run
ming over him injured the skin of his nose
30 that in order to make the dog COM
Portable took off the muzzle am posi-
tive, however, that he was in the yard
and not running al large when the pound
men captured him."
Samuel Einstein, the Pound Keeper, in
making a report on the capture to the
Health Department, says that the dog
mentioned was captured on the west side
of Thirteenth Street, about twenty feet
north of E Street southeast, while running
at large. Mr.. Einstein further states that
no one connected with the pound service
opened Mr.. Reinburgs gate, or let the
dog out. The dog was captured, he says.
on the public highway while running at
large. The men, according to Mr. Elm
stein. alighted from the wagon in r
Street, ran around the corner TO Thirteenth
Street. and at no time were within fifty
feet of Mr.. Reirburg's house.
On the strength of the Pound Masters
report. DR.. Woodward has advised the
Commissioners that. in his opinion, the fee
should not be RENTED.

men will tend to raise the quality Of the
electrical work done in the District, and
will help to remove the fire risk incident
to poor work. Improved methods and ap-
pliances are being introduced daily, and
unless wireman or contractor keeps
abreast of the changes, his work will soon
become unsatisfactory. II is to keep the
men up to the standard that an examina-
ton as to their fitness is recommended.
There is a great deal of old wiring in
place which is source OF danger, and
which should be either removed or re-
placed with wiring done in an approved
manner. This bill conveys the authority

While the building regulations contain
rules governing the electrical wiring of
buildings. no Inspections are made by the
District under those regulations. nor can
they be made until a sufficient force is
provided for that purpose.
1T will be the province of the board
created by this bill to examine into the
fitness OF workmen to engage in electrical
wiring, and by their rules and regulations
governing the introduction of electrical
appliances and laboring to throw safe

rotary Of said board and act as inspector Of

In his report on the bill to the Commits
sioners Walter C. Allen, the Electrical En-
gineer for the District, says that this bill
was originally drawn by the Association Of
Electrical Contractors of the District for
their own protection. They recognize the
fact that great deal of bad work is be-
ing done by men engaged independently,
who use poor material and cheap methods
and thus introduce fire risks which reflect
upon the quality of electrical work in gen.
