The Superintendent. OF Sewers recently
Commissioner relative to the walls OF
Rock Creek Canal which have been
somewhat damaged by unloading lumber.
The report was made by the Assistant
Engineer of the Sewer Division. who
said that the officer in charge OF the sand
yard in South Washington had called his
attention to the damage done to the ca
nal wall along the east side, south on N
Street, by a firm OF luInbermen who are
using this side of the canal for the pur-
pose of landing and storing large tim
bers- Many stones, he says, have already
rolled into the canal and interfere with
navigation at low tide. The Assistant
Engineer of the Sewer Division recon-
mends that such action be taken as will
protect the wall from further destruc-
tion.
]. R. Sutton, the Harbor Master. in re-
porting upon the matter TO the Engineer
Commissioner, says: Il will state that
have made an inspection of the wall at the
James Creek Canal, south of n Street, and
find that break in the wall is not caused
by heavy timbers which have been unload
ed there. The break is caused by heavy
rains where the water comes down n
Street along the road, and in this spot
there is a gully of about eight inches. The
rains loosen the stones. and the lumber be-
ing very heavy, the scows coming down
the canal make fast to this lumber, and
when the food gates open they very often
start the scows to moving, and in my opin-
| ion in this way pull the lumber and stone
| over into the canal.
"On the opposite side I notice the same
| trouble caused by the marsh and the
| stones are on the verge OF dropping into
| the canal. There is no coping on the ca
nal wall from n Street down On either side
| and the wall is in very bad condition all
| the way down and is out of repair.
| II recommend that there be reguia-
tion made requiring all people hauling
| sand to keep sand back from the canal
wall eight feet There should also be a
| beam built in front of the place in order
! to keep the sand from washing over
| board. If there is not some action of
! this kind taken TIE canal will soon be
| all sand
| o. L. Ingalls,. of the Sewer Division, in
| a final consideration of the matter, rec
i ommends TO the Commissioners that in
| view of the extensive use made of this
waterway and its adjoining banks for
commercial purposes, the District Gov
| ernment insist upon such precautions as
will protect the canal and It's walls, and
| also take action with view TO deriving
some benefit from the rental Of valuable
| wharfage now enjoyed by a large number
of people.
| This recommendation has been Gpprov-
| ed by the Engineer Commissioner. and
| it is thought thai his associates viii ae-
| quiesce in the same decision

Domico Vito of 240 First Street north
west, recently wrote to the Commits
sioners. stating that his dogs tag was
stolen from the collar, and that the deg
got out of the house afterward and was
captured by the pound authorities. UE-
der these circumstances, therefore. he
requests the release of the dog without
the payment of the pound fee. DR.. Will
liam c. Woodward, the District Health
officer, reported that to accept this
statement 'as correct would be, in his
judgment to establish a precedent which
would open wide the door for evasion Of
the law requiring dogs to wear tags
while running at large. l am compelled
therefore, to recommend that this re-
quest be not complied with
Commissioner Ross said that he was in
clined to believe the statement that the
tag was lost as alleged and was willing
10 give the owner the benefit OF the doubt
on the subject. He therefore, recon-
mended that the dog be released without
the payment of the pound fee. Commits
sioner Beach before passing upon the ease
ordered the application and the several re-
ports thereon to be sent to the Auditor to
ascertain whether the money for the license
had been paid as claimed by the owner

John H. Magruder. corner OF Connecticut
Avenue and VI Street northwest, has writ
ten to the Commissioners complaining OF
the manner in which the inspector from
the office of the Sealer of Weights and
Measures performed his duties in his Of
fee and grocery store
He says that q short time ago he de-
tected his scales giving too much weight,
and made enquiry as to the visit OF the in
spector. That day, Mr. Magruder says. the
inspector came, and after making a cur
sorry examination OF the scales in the store
presented a bill at the window for sS. Mr..
Magruder states that he entered into con-
versation with the inspector, and asked
whether it was not his duty to balance
the scales. The inspector he says, tried 10
avoid doing so, and read certain sections
OF the law TO show that his position in the
matter was the right one. Mr.. MagTuder
declares that after a long argument the
inspector finally did adjust the scales as he
wished him TO do
Mr.. Magruder says that the former in
spector on his route always balanced the
scales and left them in perfect condition.
and that until now he supposed that 10 be
the duty or one Of the duties of the inspec-
tor. He says he had no objection to paying
the bill after the scales had been balanced
