Police Stations and Engine Houses
There are nine police stations in the Dis
trict. and repairs to the amount Of 5000
were made on these during the fiscal year.
These repairs consisted mainly of painting.
carpentering furnace and brick work. tin
ming and roofing. plumbing. sewer work,
iron work embarrassing, kalsomining and
plastering.
Repairs were made on twenty engine and
truck houses of the fire department. at a
cost of $500. during the fiscal year. In
cluded in these repairs were new grano-
lithic floors for engine rooms. new stalls
for horses. painting. glazing, whtewash-
ing. timing, roofing, plumbing and sewer

Contradiction Work.
In addition to the buildings enumerated
above, construction work and repairs were
made. amounting to more than 5000. on
the following buildings: New boiler house
at Industrial Home School. blacksmith
shop at District of Columbia stables re-
pairs to smallpox hospital. stable at small
pox hospital detention camp. disinfecting
plant dog pound. cat hospital, District of
Columbia building, District of Columbia
property yards, Police Court. and the East
erp. Western and Georgetown markets.
Considering the number of buildings on
which repairs are made at present. and the
fact that there Is a daily increase. Mr..
Bond suggests that larger shop be fur
nished. With the present quarters. he says.
only limited amount of material can be
handled. and consequently the work is con-
siderably hampered. If a more suitable
place could be secured the introduction Of
a saw table, lathe and machinery could be
made, facilitating the work of repairs and
reducing the cost of labor materially
