At s O'Clock IN the morning the Cen

President Diaz aud the distinguished
party of $50 at San Lazaro. A salute
was fired by b artillery when the
president left Peralvillo.
AT 9 O'Clock the foodgates we're rails
ed by the president, letting the se1ers
discharge their contents into the can

point where the canal empties into the
tunnel. With due ceremony the flood
gates at this point were raised by the
president about 3 o'clock. Then fol-
lowed the banquet.
At the proper moment 6 neral Rim
con Galiardo, in a neat speech and
graduated President Diaz and the
City of Mexico for having at last
solved the great drainage problem:
now Mexico will certainly become
more healthy.
President Diaz replied in his usual

Gently he says they have erected near the

for the purpose of supporting an additional

mentioned they erected in front OF said
premises and On the same side of the street

Incnt 10 the premises. and an obstruction
to the Sidewalk He informs the Com
missionerS that the planting OF the pole
where it is is open to all the objections
which dictated the policy OF Congress IN
passing the laws now in force, and he
argues that since the company has fer
years been able to maintain the exist
ing wires without tire Objectionable pole
there appears TO be no good reason why
il should be there. He states that the
maintenance of the pole is not only q
nuisance, but he wishes to protest
against it, and to ask the Commiss on
ers whether it is not in violation OF law
Inspector Harris, of the Electric De-
paryment was sent out to investigate
the complaint. In his report he states
that the company had permission from
the authorities TO make the changes
mentioned, and that the reason for the
change arose from the necessity of ad-
justing their wires to the erection and
maintenance of their new exchange build
ing. on Thirty first Street, between II
and y Streets northwest. The 1nspe ter
then goes into detailed and technical
statement TO show that the planting OF
the pole objected to is not only neces-
sary but that il has enabled the company
to centralize its overhead wires in the
vicinity and to lessen their number Mir.
Harris admits that the pole is large al
somewhat unsightly, but says that it is
well adapted for the purpose, and he
maintains that the change in general is
the most approved and modern in its con-
structiGn.
Walter c, Allen the Electrical Engineer,
in forwarding the report of Inspector HaT-
ris 20 the Commissioners, after describing
the changed route of the wires in the vi
cinity, stated that his opinion the main
tenance of the particular pole objected to
is not in Violat On of the statutes, as the
pole already existed and was merely NOV
ed from one location to another, as part
of the reconstruction of the overhead lines
in that immediate neighborhood. Mr.. Al
len informs the Commissioners that in
stead of erecting additional poles, which
is the objection quoted by the complain
ant, there has been reduction in the
number of poles by this construction, and
that the wires have been placed in a bet
ter and safer position.
The reports from the Electric Depart
ment have been approved by the Commits
sioners and the complainant has been in
formed in accordance Herewith.
The Commissioners today issued orders
that cement sidewalk be laid, under the
provisions of the assessment system, as
follows, the same having been duly adver-
tised:
On che north side of G Street northwest,
estimated cost of 5000, TO be assessed
